When I google my shopify web address for my shop, google doesn’t find me. Have I missed a step? Why don’t i appear on google search?
How do I do this please? And if I don’t how long roughly do you think it would take to appear on Google? Had to advertise yourself when you can’t be found lol.
Hello Melticious,
To be found on google, you can submit you site sitemap on to Google search console. You can create an account there and submit you sitemap.
What is you site url ? I will take a look and suggest you some more things you can do.

Hi, thanks for helping. I am currently awaiting verification from Google so hopefully it will help. I am on http://Melticious.myshopify.com
thank you
Okay, so I looked at your website and it seems like before worrying about google you needs to fill in some details about you products first. Like product headings, descriptions etc.
Try to group you products . Like kids soaps, bath bombs, etc. under one heading. Also you need to lift your website design. Look at websites of similar products and try to design accordingly.
Once you fix your website then you can share products pages in facebook groups and other social media websites.
If you have time, do it design yourself (which is best), or hire someone (like me) to do the design upgrade for you.
Thank you.
Hey @MELTICIOUS .
Thanks for reaching out.
In order to have your online store display on Google search results, you will need to find and submit your sitemap to Google. Once Google has indexed your online store, you should then see the online store listed within the search results.
When taking a look at your store today I also noticed that you do not currently have a favicon set for your website. A favicon is a small square image that represents a website in web browser tabs.
Typically, favicons feature a logo, the first letter of the company name or simply an image that reflects the specifics of the website it represents. Adding a favicon to your online store can help strengthen your brand and add a polished look to your website. You can click on this link to read instructions on how to create and add your own favicon your store.
Keep in mind that these images are displayed quite small, so it’s good to keep in mind that the image you use should be readable at small sizes.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Ollie, I have a 3rd party app and submitted my site map successfully to google around 6 days ago.
On google search console I have an account, added my domain, copied the html verification code into my editor on shopify. also all good. In addition I have copied some DNS code into the domain settings/ txt under shopify. Therefore I have added the property-typ on google search console by the domain option and URL-prefix.
Google search console shows me some nice diagrams on impressions etc. However I still CANNOT find my store on google.
How long does it take until I can find my page?
In addition, do I need to submit my page always when I created a new page or blog for example?
Thank you
