What we already do for you
Every store gets a sitemap that lists all your live products, and a robots file that keeps cart, checkout and order pages out of search. Each product page also carries details Google can read: the price in naira, whether it's in stock, its photos and the star rating from your reviews. And every page tells Google its one true address, so the same product shared with different links still counts as one page.
Name products the way buyers search
Buyers type what they want, like "ankara wrap dress" or "shea butter 500g", not the name of your collection. Put those words at the start of the product name. If the name on your store is long, open Search listing on the product and give Google a shorter title and description of its own.
Write a real description for every product
Google can't show a product it knows nothing about. Two or three short paragraphs on what it is, the size, the material and who it's for give Google words to match, and answer buyers' questions too. Don't paste the maker's text: pages that read the same as other sites rank lower.
Add clear photos
Products with photos can show as pictures in Google results. Give every product at least one sharp, well-lit cover photo. Analytics → SEO also has a sharing image, the picture that shows when someone posts your store link on WhatsApp, Instagram or X.
Tell Google your store exists
Open Google Search Console and add your store's address as a URL prefix property. Choose the HTML tag method, copy the code it gives you, paste it into Analytics → SEO and save, then press Verify in Search Console. Next, open Sitemaps and submit the sitemap address shown in Analytics → SEO. New stores usually start to appear within a few days to a few weeks.
Moving to your own domain
On Premium you can use your own domain, like shop.yourbusiness.ng. Once it's live, it becomes your store's main address in Google. You choose what your old store link does: send visitors and Google on to the new domain, which keeps what you've built in search, or stop answering there. Your old link stays yours either way, and nobody else can use it.
Get other sites to link to you
Every link to your store from somewhere else tells Google it's worth showing. Put your link in your social profiles, your Google Business Profile, and any directory or blog that features you. Reviews from real buyers help too: they show as stars under your products in search.
