Hi everyone,

I’d love some advice in case I’ve missed something. I rebranded my shop earlier this year and changed my domain name. The new domain has been added to Shopify, but Google wasn’t picking it up. I then realised I hadn’t set up a 301 redirect from my old URL to the new one. That’s now done through my domain host, and I’ve also completed the site transfer in Google Search Console from one property to the other.

I’ve submitted the sitemaps for the new domain as well, but it still seems to be taking longer than expected for Google to recognise and index the new site.

Has anyone experienced this before, or is there anything else I might have overlooked?

Old domain: artisanmarket.online
New domain: basaltandoak.com

Thanks in advance for any insights!

SEO migration is significant. You need to identify old URL path for seo and redirect each URL page by page to recover the Past SEO, and also use relevant content

Hi @BandO,

You’ve already covered the most important steps — setting up the 301 redirects, transferring the property in Google Search Console, and submitting your new sitemap. Nicely done! :+1:

However, there are a few things that are often overlooked and can delay Google’s indexing after a domain change:

1. Check internal links:

Make sure all internal links (menu, footer, collections, product pages, blog posts, etc.) now point to the new domain. Leftover links to the old domain can confuse crawlers.

2. Keep the old property active:

Don’t delete the old domain property in Search Console yet — keeping it active helps Google fully process the redirects and transfer SEO signals.

3. Verify redirects properly:

Use a tool like https://httpstatus.io to confirm that all old URLs (including subpages) are correctly redirecting with a 301 status code to the new domain.

4. Request indexing manually:

In Search Console, use the “URL Inspection” tool to manually request indexing for key pages like your homepage, collections, and main product pages.

5. Check your sitemap:

Ensure your sitemap (e.g., basaltandoak.com/sitemap.xml) only contains URLs from the new domain — no outdated links.

6. Be patient:

Google can take 4–8 weeks to fully process a domain migration, especially if the old domain had established authority.

If you’d like, I can take a look — we handle these kinds of SEO migrations regularly as a specialized Shopify agency.

Would you like to close this question here or keep working on it together?

You’ve done everything correctly. Here are a few more things you can look for:

  • Ensure every old URL, not just the homepage, correctly redirects to its new equivalent on the new domain. You can test this by using a tool like httpstatus.io or Redirect Checker.

  • Confirm that your new domain’s HTTP and HTTPS versions are verified in Google Search Console.

  • Use the URL Inspection Tool in Search Console on a few important pages and request indexing if they haven’t been indexed yet.

  • Ensure all internal links within your Shopify store point to the new domain.

Hello @ogrony,

great question — and it’s awesome that you’re already thinking strategically about SEO rather than only running ads. :rocket:

Here are a few actionable steps to boost your Google rankings faster for your Shopify store GadgetStudioBD:

1. On-Page SEO Basics

Make sure each product page has a unique, keyword-focused title and meta description.

Use your main keywords naturally in the product title, meta description, image alt-text, and first paragraph.

Add internal links between related products and blog posts.

2. Technical SEO

Run a quick audit via tools like Ahrefs Webmaster Tools or Google Search Console to find crawl errors or duplicate content.

Optimize your page speed (Shopify themes often load unnecessary scripts — remove what you don’t need).

Ensure your site is mobile-friendly; Google’s Core Web Vitals reward that.

3. Content Strategy

Create blog articles around your product categories (e.g., “Top 10 Portable Speakers for Travel” or “How to Choose the Right Bluetooth Headset”).

Target long-tail keywords that show buying intent — they’re easier to rank for.

4. Link Building

Reach out to tech bloggers or gadget reviewers for backlinks.

Share your products on Reddit, Quora, and niche tech forums — it builds both traffic and SEO signals.

5. Structured Data (Schema)

Use JSON-LD or Shopify apps like SEO Manager or Smart SEO to add rich snippets (ratings, price, availability). These improve CTR in Google.

6. Ongoing SEO Monitoring

Track progress via Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4.

Adjust keywords and update old pages monthly.

If you want, we at Muthwerk (a specialized Shopify agency) can help you identify your biggest SEO growth levers and set up a fast, sustainable SEO foundation — including content and technical audits tailored for Shopify.
