The AI Prompt That Fills In Every Squarespace Blog Setting For You
You wrote the post. Now you're staring at the settings panel, SEO title, meta description, URL slug, excerpt, tags, categories, featured image alt text, wondering if any of it actually matters and how long each one is supposed to be.
It does matter. And this prompt handles it for you.
The part of blogging nobody warns you about
The writing is the fun part. The publishing settings are where most small business blogs quietly fall apart. Skip the meta description and Google writes its own (badly). Leave the auto-generated URL slug and you end up with /blog/untitled-12. Forget the alt text and your image is invisible to search.
You don't need to memorize character counts and best practices. You need a prompt that does it for you.
What this prompt gives you
Paste in your finished blog post (or just your topic and key points) and the AI hands back every field Squarespace asks for:
A click-worthy post title
An SEO title (the version Google shows)
A meta description in the exact right length
A clean, keyword-rich URL slug
An excerpt for your blog index page
A featured image brief with alt text and filename
A primary category and a set of relevant tags
Bonus: a Pinterest pin title and description
No more guessing. No more leaving fields blank.
The prompt
Copy everything inside the box. Replace the bracketed parts. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or your AI tool of choice.

- No fluff or AI tells. Speak like a real human.
- Stay inside every character limit.
Where each piece goes inside Squarespace
Once the AI sends back the package, here's the path for each field. Open your post in the Squarespace blog editor and click the gear icon to access the side panel.
Post Title → top of the post editor.
SEO Title and SEO Description → SEO tab → "SEO Title" and "SEO Description" fields.
Post URL Slug → Options tab → "Post URL." Replace whatever's auto-generated.
Excerpt → Options tab → "Excerpt."
Featured Image → Options tab → "Thumbnail Image." Rename your image file before uploading (use the suggested filename), then add the alt text in the image options.
Categories and Tags → Options tab → bottom of the panel. Category first, tags second.
Pro tip: save the filled-in prompt as a snippet in your notes app or a saved Claude project. Each new post becomes a 2-minute paste job instead of a guessing game.
Two small habits that make the prompt work harder
Be specific with your audience. "Small business owners" is fine. "Solo wedding photographers in their first two years of business" is gold. The narrower you go, the better the SEO copy lands.
Pick one primary keyword per post. One post, one job. The prompt is built around a single keyword threaded through every field — that's what helps the post rank.
Your turn
Save the prompt. Paste your post. Hit enter. Publish in minutes instead of hours.
