Hi @ramyaq ,

If your Shopify website is not appearing on Google Search, here are some key steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

  1. Verify in Google Search Console

    • Make sure your site is added and verified in Google Search Console.

    • Check the “Index Coverage” report for errors like “Crawled - currently not indexed” or “Blocked by robots.txt”.

  2. Ensure Site Visibility

    • Go to Online Store > Preferences in your Shopify admin and make sure “Hide my site from search engines” is unchecked.

  3. Submit Sitemap

  4. Fix SEO Issues

    • Ensure every page has unique meta titles and descriptions.

    • Avoid duplicate content, use meaningful headings, and ensure fast page load speeds.

  5. Check Robots.txt and Meta Tags

    • Confirm that no important pages are blocked via robots.txt or noindex meta tags.

  6. Request Indexing

    • Use the URL Inspection Tool in Search Console to request indexing for specific pages.

Hi @ramyaq

Let me share you some ideas about this kind of issue, as I encountered the similar situation before on my store and spent some time resolving them totally.

  1. I can see that some of the issues mentioned in the first screenshot you shared have run validation already, but not all of them. You can click related issue options to the next page and run validation accordingly. After waiting for some time, you will receive the latest feedback in Google Search Console and then you shall be able to see if the issue still persist or not.

  2. You can find out most issue cause code with the help of this tool and I have attached the URL here below. Please copy the related issue URL inside this tool, and you can see the issue cause code more clearly. Next you can take steps to maintain or fix them properly, a kind reminder here.
