Why this matters

Squarespace often limits dynamic page-level head control, so the reliable baseline is global discovery tags plus Legible's hosted `llms.txt` and `ai-sitemap.json`.

Global Header Injection

  • Open `Settings`.
  • Open `Advanced`.
  • Open `Code Injection`.
  • Paste the site-wide Legible tags into the `Header` area.

Page-Level Markdown Tags

If your template or site version supports page-specific header code, add the Markdown `alternate` tag there using the correct slug. If not, rely on the global tags and hosted discovery endpoints as the primary AI discovery path.

Verification

  • Check that the global tags appear in raw page source.
  • Test hosted `llms.txt` and `ai-sitemap.json` directly.
  • Add per-page tags only where Squarespace gives you reliable control.
