How to Add Shopify Products to Google

Getting your Shopify products listed on Google can significantly increase your store's visibility. Follow this guide to get started.

Prerequisites

  • A Shopify store with products
  • Google Merchant Center account
  • Google Shopping app installed on Shopify

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Set Up Google Merchant Center

  1. Create a Google Merchant Center account
  2. Verify and claim your website
  3. Configure tax and shipping settings

2. Implement JSON-LD Markup

JSON-LD helps Google better understand your products and display rich results in search.
  • Check your theme's product template for JSON-LD
  • Ensure all required product properties are included:
  • - name
    - description
    - price
    - availability
    - brand
    - images
  • Test markup using Google's Rich Results Test

Pro Tip: Most modern Shopify themes include JSON-LD by default. If yours doesn't, you can add it through theme customization or a third-party app.

3. Connect Shopify to Google

  1. Install the Google Shopping app from Shopify App Store
  2. Link your Google Merchant Center account
  3. Configure your product feed settings
