Why isn't my website appearing in Google search results?

Hi there,

Looking for advice as to why my website https://mymatchaco.com/ is not showing up on google searches.

The website has been live for two months and receiving traffic mainly via Instagram.

Google Analytics and Good Sitemaps have also been enabled.

Any feedback, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

Hello @MyMatchaCo ,

Thank you very much! For some reason this is not the case on my end.

What page of google (e.g. 1,2,3 ..) did you find the website on?

Only 11 pages are listed on Google and i have attached those screenshots below. Kindly have a look at it:

Hi @MyMatchaCo ,

Have you submitted your sitemap to Google? I would highly recommend you do so, along with referring to this store launch checklist and our SEO Checklist.

We have a great Ecommerce SEO 101 Video Series too that I suspect you’ll find useful!

Remember that your keywords will be very important so be sure to look up keywords to help boost your site’s ranking.

Has your store been live long? You’ve done a great job! I love that you have a “learn” section to educate your community - but you don’t seem to have a content strategy to share all that brilliant knowledge far and wide!

You really need to focus on your content marketing to tell the world about your lovely brand and all the good your matcha can do for them!

So this means, at the very least, that you should have a blog to disseminate your knowledge.

Have you given any thought to any of this? Do you have any content plans in the pipeline? I’d love to hear more!

I am also having the issue of not showing up on Google. Can you see what my issue might be?

Thanks in Advance! Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @ShiverApparel ,

Have you submitted your sitemap to Google? This gives Google a chance to index your website and rank it according to the appropriate search terms. I would also highly recommend our SEO Checklist just to make sure you’ve ticked all the right boxes.

On a side note, your store is (for want of a better word) really cool. I love your story, the personal dimension to it, and the humanity. You’re definitely branding yourself very cleverly.

That’s why you need to share that story with your audience. So what kind of content strategy are you thinking of employing to tell the world why your brand deserves their attention? Shiver is a lifestyle brand, so perhaps you want to embrace a medium like Tiktok to market your store.

Whatever the method, you need to attract attention, draw visitors in, and encourage them to not only buy the product but also share their experience with their friends and family. Do you want to talk through some of your ideas for connecting with your customers? Bear in mind too that your content will also contribute to your ranking on Google and how easily customers can find your store!

One other small detail: When I was on your store I noticed you didn’t have your favicon set up. This is a really cool feature and it makes the page look a lot more trustworthy and professional. The favicon is the little logo you see in the tabs on your browser:

Here’s how you can add your favicon to your store. I think small details like that are crucial, and they’re part of the broader plan to convince people to trust you. In fact, check out our buyer trust 101 community post for tips on making sure you are presenting your absolute best first.

I look forward to hearing from you!
