How to Change Your Shopify Store Name to Display Your Brand Instead of 'My Store'"

Topic summary

Problem: Google search shows the homepage title as “My store” instead of the brand. The issue is tied to the homepage meta title (the page title shown in search results and browser tabs).

Suggested fix: Update the homepage meta title in Shopify via Online Store > Preferences. Screenshots and links are provided to the exact UI fields.

Follow-up: The poster updated the meta title but still sees “My store” in search results.

Latest guidance: Changes to meta titles are not reflected immediately in Google. It can take several days for Google to crawl the site and update search results; waiting is recommended.

Notes: Screenshots are central to locating the setting in the Shopify admin.

Status: No further technical changes proposed; awaiting Google’s re-crawl. Discussion effectively pending until search results refresh.

Hi there! When I search for my brand online, it shows “My Store” instead of my actual brand name. Could you help me fix this? Thank you so much!

Hi @jcyzner

The title “My store” might be your homepage meta title. To change it, you can follow this guide:

  1. Go to Shopify > Online store > Preference :https://prnt.sc/UrrDqK_WGP84

I hope it helps.

Hi! I did that but when I search it up it still says my store

Hi @jcyzner ,

It may take several days for Google to crawl the settings of your Shopify store. I recommend waiting patiently during this period for the updates to take effect.

Thank you.
