Hoping someone can help me!
All of the page titles, descriptions etc are complete on my store in the product and collection sections, however, according to various SEO screening programs (screaming frog, uber suggest etc) it shows that my site is missing title pages and tags for the majority of my pages. I also notice when you hover over the page tab in a search engine, instead of the titles appearing, it merely shows the URL for that page. It’s starting to really impact my DA and rankings.
The only solution shopify chat gave me was to recrawl my site on google console but this hasn’t worked. I’m wondering if there are apps that are causing this and how to fix the problem whilst also keeping the app in question. I can’t seem to find installation dates for the apps in my store and how do you even go about checking which one might be causing it? And, failing that, is there a log of all store edits so you can roll it back to a version when the page titles and tags worked correctly and restart from that point?
Any advice is gratefully received shopify community!
I would say likely something has broken the title tag stuff. Usually this is found directly in theme.liquid or at least included as a snippet within there.
I would suggest getting someone who knows their way around theme files to take a look. You might also be able to get some help from Shopify Support but I feel like this might be on the verge of being out of scope, even though it is probably a simple fix.
Yes there is built in rollback functionality, so if themes.liquid is the culprit you can hit the dropdown and see what changed.
What I often like to do is use diffcheck.com to compare current vs old to see exactly what changed.
I have seen a few cases where installing /removing SEO apps actually breaks this stuff because they edit your themes often without express permission or showing you what changes got made.
thank you so much - that’s really helpful!
Could you give me more information about where I will find the history of theme changes dropdown you mentioned? All I have is the edit code in my shopify theme and I don’t seem to have any history!
Thanks again
