SEO & Search Console

SEO does not start in Google Search Console. First, pages need accurate titles, descriptions, content, and canonical URLs; Search Console then shows how Google sees them.

Core SEO settings

Section titled “Core SEO settings”

Check:

  • SEO title;
  • SEO description;
  • favicon;
  • Open Graph image;
  • indexing setting;
  • clear product and category names/descriptions;
  • localized SEO fields when using both languages.
Section titled “Recommended image sizes”
  • Favicon: square 1:1, minimum 64×64, recommended 512×512.
  • Open Graph: 1200×630.

Sitemap and Search Console

Section titled “Sitemap and Search Console”

For a Kordiva subdomain:

  1. add the exact HTTPS URL in Google Search Console;
  2. submit /sitemap.xml;
  3. inspect the home page;
  4. inspect important categories and products.

For a custom domain, use the real primary storefront URL and avoid multiple versions of the same URL.

What to index first

Section titled “What to index first”
  1. home page;
  2. important categories;
  3. important products;
  4. contact;
  5. shipping and returns;
  6. privacy and terms.

You do not need to manually request indexing for every URL already present in the sitemap.

What to monitor

Section titled “What to monitor”

In Search Console, monitor:

  • indexed and excluded pages;
  • indexing errors;
  • search queries;
  • impressions;
  • clicks;
  • CTR;
  • average position.
After a domain change

Re-check canonical URLs, sitemap, HTTPS, and redirects. The old and new domains should not remain as two independent primary versions of the same store.
