Thanks for pointing out the fact that just the opposite of what we expect can often happen with search engine rankings. I gotcha.

About a month ago, we switched to using Squarespace entirely (meaning that 'www.squarespace.com' is just a Squarespace account called 'www'). This meant that all of the underlying code changed for our front site, which I was positive was going to reduce our rankings for SOME keywords. The opposite happened. We actually jumped a few spots on all of our keywords, and we gained 15 places on extremely highly competitive keywords like "build a website". We use the same basic platform for that site that everyone else on Squarespace gets, and we all have the same IP. Hope this is of some value!
