How to add and verify your Shopify store in Google Search Console
How to connect Google Search Console to SEOWILL
Before You Start
Make sure that:
You have access to the Google account connected to your Google Search Console property.
Your Shopify store has already been added and verified in Google Search Console.
If your store has not yet been added to Google Search Console, follow the steps below.
Part 1: Connect Your Shopify Store to Google Search Console
Step 1: Open Google Search Console
Sign in to Google Search Console with the Google account you want to use.
Then click Add property.
Step 2: Enter Your Store Domain
Choose the appropriate property type and enter your Shopify store domain.
Then click Continue.
Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership
Google will ask you to verify that you own the domain.
The available verification method depends on your domain provider. For a Domain property, you will usually need to add a DNS record through your domain provider.
For example, if your domain is managed through Cloudflare:
- Sign in to your Cloudflare account.
- Add the DNS record provided by Google Search Console.
- Return to Google Search Console.
- Click Verify.
DNS changes may take some time to update. If verification does not succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again.
Step 4: Confirm the Property Is Available
After verification is complete, your Shopify store will appear as a property in Google Search Console.
You can now connect it to SEOWILL.
Part 2: Connect Google Search Console to SEOWILL
Step 1: Open the Integration Page
Navigate to Content Optimization and click the Connect now button.
Step 2: Select a Google Account
Choose the Google account that has access to your Shopify store’s Search Console property.
Make sure you select the account that was used to verify or manage the store website.
SEOWILL only requires read-only access to load your Search Console performance data. Keep all requested permissions selected so the connection can be completed successfully.
After the connection is complete, you can manage it in Settings → Integration, including disconnecting the account or switching to a different property.
Please note that Google Search Console data is updated daily for paid users and weekly for free users.
