Why can't my online store be found on Google?

Technical Q&A

Hi, please can someone explain to why my shop can’t be found on Google?
I disabled my store password last Sunday, June 26,

but still all I can find is store “coming soon” when I do a “site:” search. Although when I click on “coming soon” it takes me to my open shop.

Thanks

Dan

  1. It could take a few weeks for Google to update the meta title/description after the website is live. To streamline the process make sure to add the site to Google Search Console.

  2. Double check that the homepage title and meta descriptions are properly added. You can check by going to Online store > Preferences > Title and Meta description section.

Hey @drgm .

Thanks for reaching out.

I appreciate the context that you have shared with us as that is super helpful! Looking into this, the reason that you may not be able to find your online store on Google’s search results is because the store is new. Search engines regularly index new sites and if your site is new, it might not have been indexed yet. With that being said, you can find and submit your sitemap to prompt Google and various search engines to index the online store.

Feel more than welcome to check out our FAQs: Why doesn’t my site show up in search engine results? which goes into more details to why your online store may not be displaying.

Let us know if you have any questions.
