Search and link previews
Set clear store and product metadata for search results and shared links.
Set clear store and product metadata for search results and shared links. Follow the steps below in the selected store’s dashboard.
Set it up#
Set store metadata
Open the store’s SEO settings and write a useful title and description that describe what you sell.
Customize product metadata
Use each product’s SEO fields for specific titles, descriptions, and relevant keywords.
Choose a preview image
Use a publicly accessible image that still makes sense when cropped in a shared-link card.
Check the public URL
Open the published page and share its exact URL. Changes in search results and third-party preview caches are not immediate.
Write for the page#
A product title and description should describe that product rather than repeating the same keyword list across the whole catalog. Include information that helps a buyer decide whether the product meets their needs.
Domains and redirects#
Use the store’s current canonical domain consistently in shared links. When you connect a custom domain, review links in social profiles, descriptions, and advertising campaigns.
Search visibility takes time#
Saving metadata does not guarantee indexing, ranking, or an immediate new preview on an external platform. Check the rendered page first, then use that platform’s inspection or refresh tools if available.
If something does not work#
What to check
A broken preview often comes from a private image URL, a redirect, or an external cache. Confirm the page and image can both be opened without signing in.
