My store has been open for a few days, but on google it still says - Opening soon on the SEO.

Store Design

Topic summary

Google search results still show the store as “Opening soon” even though it’s been live for a few days, and the owner asks how to change this.

Suggested actions to update Google faster:

  • Set up Google Search Console, verify the domain, and use “Request Indexing” for the homepage; updates can still take several days.
  • Submit the Shopify sitemap to encourage Google to recrawl; one reply notes Google can take up to 90 days to crawl changes, but sitemap submission may get it updated within ~2 weeks.

Open question / troubleshooting:

  • A participant asks whether password protection was disabled, implying the site might still be gated and that could affect what Google displays.

No confirmed resolution yet; next steps are to ensure the site is publicly accessible and use Search Console + sitemap submission to prompt reindexing.

Probably quite a simple one to solve but cannot figure it out for the life of me!

Thanks,

Go to Google Search Console (create and verify your domain in case it hasn’t been verified). Once set up, you would be able to Request Indexing of the home page. In most cases, it usually takes several days to update in google search.

I hope the answer helps!

@JordanEdner

Making changes to your website won’t reflect on Google right away as Google can take up to 90 days to crawl for new information. To help speed up this process, I would recommend submitting your sitemap. Once submitted, the information should be updated within 2 weeks.

Did you disable the password protection
