Remove myshopify URL from google search visible to the public

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Issue: Google is still showing the default Shopify subdomain (myshopify.com) for a store that now uses a custom domain. “Myshopify” is Shopify’s default store URL; the goal is to have only the custom domain appear in search.

Key points and developments:

  • The store owner set a custom domain as the primary domain.
  • A responder suggested the myshopify URL should redirect to the custom domain and shared Shopify’s domain management guide.
  • The store owner confirmed the redirect is already in place, yet both the myshopify and custom domains appear in Google search results.
  • The store owner asked how to send a direct message to share a screenshot for troubleshooting.

Status: Unresolved. Next step indicated is sharing a screenshot via DM for further diagnosis. No confirmed solution or action beyond reviewing domain settings and verifying the redirect documentation.

It sounds like you don’t have your domain setting pointing to your real URL. The “myshopify” url should redirect to your real URL
