How do I get rid of “– My Store” at the end of my business name when searching on google. Example below.
Topic summary
A user’s business name appears with “– My Store” appended when displayed in Google search results, as shown in an attached screenshot.
Solutions provided:
- Locate the
<title>tag code in the theme’stheme.liquidfile (typically around line 22 in Dawn theme) - Remove the code that appends the shop name to page titles
- Alternatively, check the Meta Title settings in the store’s Preferences page in the backend
- Search for
<titleintheme.liquidto find and remove “My Store” related code
Important note: Changes may take time to reflect in Google search results, as Google’s re-indexing process is slow.
Check your theme for the code like this:
The highlighted line adds “-- yourshopname” at the end of the page <title>
And your shop name is “myStore” until you change it.
Simply removing this line will fix your problem (eventually, as Google is pretty slow with rescanning)
This can be changed by checking content of Meta Title on your store backend from Preference page. If you fail to find it out, you can also make a search with <title in theme.liquid this file and remove ‘My Store’ related code.
