hello sir recently me create 3 moth free place custom domain is new pet blogs Crete after some blog post publishing after why not index my Shopify blog website i am WordPress transfer and why not index and how to WordPress to Shopify website migrate after can index my blog post.
Topic summary
New Shopify blog posts on a custom domain aren’t appearing in Google after a migration from WordPress.
Key guidance:
- Verify the site in Google Search Console (GSC), a Google tool to monitor and manage site visibility, then use “Request indexing” on key pages.
- Submit the site’s sitemaps in GSC. The sitemap index is at https://yourstorename.myshopify.com/sitemap.xml (replace with your store URL), which lists all sitemap files for Google to crawl.
- Check https://yourstorename.myshopify.com/robots.txt to ensure important pages aren’t being blocked from crawling. If needed, add appropriate meta directives in the site’s header.
- Add canonical tags to indicate the preferred URL for each page, especially if WordPress left alternate or duplicate URLs. Canonicals help consolidate signals but don’t force indexing.
Context and expectations:
- Indexing can take weeks, so delays after migration can be normal.
- URL examples were provided; no specific code is required beyond standard header tags if adjustments are needed.
Outcome/status:
- No confirmed resolution yet. Action items are to verify in GSC, submit sitemaps, review robots.txt, add canonicals if relevant, and wait for indexing to process.
Hello,
Are you signed up with Google Search Console?
Here is the site: https://search.google.com/search-console/about
Once you login and verify your site, you can manually index your store.
-
To look up your sitemap you can type this into the browser:
https://yourstorename.myshopify.com/sitemap.xml (replace yourstorename with your url)All of your sitemaps should be listed there. You can go to the sitemaps tab in Google Search Console and add them there manually.
-
You can check your Robots.txt file Google:
https://yourstorename.myshopify.com/robots.txt (again replacing yourstorename with your URL)
If you do not have this you can add it in your in your like this:
Likewise, you can add a canonical tag if you had a different URL at the time of using WordPress
-
Canonical Tags:
Canonical tags help to address duplicate content issues. If you have multiple versions of a page or similar content, you can use the canonical tag to specify the preferred version. This doesn’t directly control indexing, but it helps search engines understand the preferred version of a page.
Indexing can take weeks so it may just need more time.
