Square Online

Square Online builds a free store tied to Square, but it offers no API to publish blog posts into it. Sorank still gives you a fully automated SEO blog on your own domain.

Why Square Online needs a hosted blog

The Square developer platform covers payments, catalog and orders, not blog publishing on Square Online sites. There is no endpoint to push an article into the Square Online blog, so instead of pasting every post by hand, you let Sorank host the blog for you.

The simple route: host your blog on Sorank

Sorank publishes and hosts your articles on your own subdomain, for example blog.yourdomain.com, linked from your Square Online site. Every post strengthens your domain authority.

  1. In Sorank, go to Settings > Integrations and open Manage my blog.
  2. Click Activate my blog.
  3. Add the CNAME and TXT DNS records at your domain provider, then verify.

Full walkthrough: Host your blog on Sorank.

Link it from your Square Online site

Add a Blog link in your Square Online navigation pointing to your hosted blog subdomain. Visitors move smoothly between your store and your blog, and Google indexes both under your domain.
