website does not appear in search results

Hi, I'm new to shopify but I was wondering if my site was appearing in the google search bar once I've finished configuring it on google search console

Hi @Gegè 

After configuration, it takes a few days/weeks to get all the pages indexed by Google. Google's resources are limited and they prioritize established important sites.
You have to be patient and wait in the queue post-configuration.

It doesn't happen instantly.

Hi @Gegè,

Once you have finished configuring your website on Google Search Console, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for your website to appear in the Google search results.

The amount of time depends on what your website sells, the number of content, the quality of your website's content, the number of backlinks your website has, ...

And please note that if your website appears in search results, it can not rank #1. It depends on the keyword you use to search. Google uses a complex algorithm to determine search rankings, and it takes time for the algorithm to evaluate and rank your website based on its relevance and authority.

Anyway, don't worry about that. You should check Google Search regularly and wait 🙂

Does this explain why my site does not show up on Google even when you type the site name in exactly in the Google search bar?

Thank you.

Configuring your Shopify store on Google Search Console is an important step to ensure that your site is appearing in Google search results. However, simply configuring your site on Google Search Console does not guarantee that it will appear in search results.

Here are a few things to keep in mind.

1. Timeframe
It can take some time for Google to index your site and for it to start appearing in search results. This can vary depending on various factors such as your site's content, structure, and backlinks.

2. Content
It is important to have high-quality content on your site that is relevant and useful to your audience. This can help improve your site's visibility in search results.

3. SEO optimization
You should also optimize your site for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to improve its visibility in search results. This includes using relevant keywords in your content, optimizing your site's structure, and building high-quality backlinks.

4. Google algorithm
Google's search algorithm is constantly changing, which can affect how your site appears in search results. It is important to stay up-to-date with the latest SEO best practices and algorithm updates to ensure that your site is optimized for search.

To see if your site is appearing in Google search results, you can use Google Search Console to check your site's performance report. This report shows data on how your site is performing in Google search, including the number of impressions, clicks, and average position in search results.
