Google Search Console - Missing field "image"

[scent26candleco]

A small number of my products have the error message missing field "image" on Google Search Console.

All impacted products (20 in total) do have an image present in the product listing in Shopify store. To my knowledge, I am not doing anything different with my other products which appear to be fine.

I can't find any info. via Google support to fix this issue.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have the same problem and I am trying to figure it out. Do you use the SEO Ant app perhaps?

Hi Magnus,

Thanks for your reply. No, I don’t use the app you refer to and I am still experiencing this issue.  Have you had any joy in getting it fixed?

Hi guys, I am experiencing the exact same issue!

I have this problem too, did you manage to fix it?

Count me among the affected, too – Dawn theme.

I also have the Dawn theme with the same problem, did you manage to fix it?

I also am having this issue. Hopefully Shopify will answer soon as this is apparently a common issue.

I'd look to see if you have images on all your variants. If you don't, try adding one, and then running your page through both of these tools: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data

Slightly oversimplified, but the first one is the google specific validator, and the second one is for any search engine. 

I just updated a store's product that had the same error and it worked!

Hopefully it helps 🙂

If you haven't already, update your theme (Dawn) as this was fixed in a recent update).

For others who are still experiencing the missing field "image", you'll want to talk with your theme provider to have them fix it or install a structured data app that is more reliable in ensuring the structured data stays up to date. Themes are notorious for taking months to fix their structured data and the missing image could cause you to lose your Rich Results.

For anyone who needs it, feel free to email me at support@ilanadavis.com and I'll do a free structured data audit and let you know if JSON-LD for SEO could help your store.
