What you can set
Products, collections and pages you’ve built each have their own overrides.
Sitemap and robots
You get both, generated from your actual catalogue and settings. Nothing to maintain. If your shop is private, it’s kept out of its own sitemap and robots file automatically — you can’t accidentally advertise a shop you’ve closed. → Privacy & visibilityRich results
Your product pages publish structured data — price, availability, and star ratings where you’ve approved reviews. That’s what produces the extra detail under a Google result. If you’re adding your own structured data through custom code, escape it properly.JSON.stringify won’t escape a </script> inside a string, so a product
description containing one can break the block.
Changing a URL
Renaming a product or collection changes its address, and nothing follows the rename on its own. Add a redirect at the same time. → RedirectsWhere to spend your time
1
Your shop title and description
Everything else inherits from these. Say what you sell, not just your name.
2
One good share image
Most sharing happens before anyone reads a word of description.
3
Your collection pages
Highest return after the home page, and the most commonly skipped.
4
Your best sellers
Not all your products. The returns drop off fast.
5
Submit your sitemap
To Google Search Console, once the above is actually done.
