SEO , search engines not showing any of my searches for my site

[Johnscbshop]

I am not finding my site info in search engines, what activates this data

[JustinC · Accepted solution]

Once you configure your SEO settings from the Online Store Dashboard, those changes reflect only after you publish your site from Website > Edit Site. 

Have you done this already? @Johnscbshop

[Johnscbshop]

Yes I did the publish site

I use Duck Duck go as a search engine and it doesn't recognize my site, Google does see it.

I received an email from Domain services wanting me to register my domain name, ........hasn't WEEBLY done this already ?  Why the additional registration cost when it was  free ?

Hi @Johnscbshop-- Jumping in for Justin today.

Weebly does register whichever domain name you enter through the Square Online Store. If you're getting an email from somewhere else other than Weebly about your domain, I'm not entirely sure why and wouldn't be able to speak to any third party emails you're receiving.

Here is a copy of what I received from Domain Services

Congrats on your new domain! The next step you need to take for johnscbshop.com is to make sure it is listed in the search engines. Getting johnscbshop.com included in the search engines is important to make sure your customers can find you.

Register johnscbshop.com

Please register johnscbshop.com as soon as possible so your new domain is properly indexed.

When you go to make changes on your site, go to the top left and click to Page: Home and then go below and you'll see your standard pages for your site.  Where you see your home icon and then to the right you'll see the three dots. Click on the dots and click "view page settings". (This will take you where I think you've missed going to ensure your site is visible.) At the top of the window that opened, you will see: General      SEO      Social

Click on each of these, and everything is explained, and make sure you scroll down to the bottom so you don't miss anything. View all three pages before you type anything.  Yes you can go back and make changes as needed, and what's great is, if you had/have a URL that you had used for blogs or whatever in the passed, you can still use it to keep your viewers coming back and make that URL redirect people to your site on square.  Good Luck as I too am still learning.

Hello,

I recently signed up for Square and published my website. I changed my business name but am still seeing the first entry show up on google. I successfully changed my business name in Square - is there something else I need to do so that my correct name shows up on Google?

Thanks,

MJ

Hi hi @mikejohnstonrmt + welcome to the Seller Community 👋

Have you follow the steps outlined here by @JustinC here in their Best Answer?

Let me know if you still need a hand after trying this!

I am having a similar issue. I updated my SEO and tried to follow the setups Justin outlined; however, I still can't see my site reemsgold.square.site in the search engine. I see my reddit posts, facebook page..etc but nothing from my website. Please help!!

[withlovebyani]

When I search the name of my store: With Love by Ani on Google, nothing shows up! Nothing at all. Not even like when I search my personal instagram page or facebook page on Google. How do I configure it to show up? & not only when searching the name, but my earrings.

Hey @withlovebyani,

I moved your post to an existing thread where another seller had the same question.

@JustinC answered this one above about checking the SEO settings and how to do so.

Im having the same issue. If I search my shop name....my website does not show in the results.....I see my FB, IG, etsy, and everything else but nothing related to my actually website.
