Made numerous changes on our website but we need to speed up the reindexing for google to pick it up in less than a week rather than wait for a month, especially since we moved from magento to shopify which led to some complications we are resolving. any suggestions?

Reindexing Pages with Google Search Console
If you need to get your website’s pages re-indexed by Google, you can use Google Search Console. There are two ways to do this:
- URL Inspection Tool: Submit individual URLs for reindexing. This is suitable for a small number of pages.
- Sitemap: Upload your website’s sitemap file. This is a faster option for larger websites as it allows Google to discover all your pages at once.
Shopify and Sitemaps
If your website is built on Shopify, the platform automatically creates a sitemap containing all your store’s links. This sitemap typically follows the format store-url.com/sitemap.xml. You can submit this sitemap to Google Search Console for faster indexing.
Important Note:
- Submitting URLs or a sitemap doesn’t guarantee immediate indexing. Google prioritizes high-quality content and may take time to process your request.
- Monitor your website’s indexing status using Google Search Console’s Index Coverage report.
I hope this information helps!
