Slow indexing of Shopify blog posts and how you can fix it

By

When using the built in blog engine in Shopify I noticed that indexing of blog posts were really slow for my new ecommerce site Superhund.no. This will mostly be an issue for new Shopify stores with few inbound links.

How to solve slow indexing of Shopify blog posts

  1. Share new blog posts on social media like Twitter
  2. Open Google Search Console and go to Crawl -> Fetch as GoogleBot. Submit your new blog post and ask for Google to crawl it by submiting it to index
