Frequently Asked Questions

Why I don't see my schemas show up on Google?

Google does not guarantee that your structured data will show up in search results, even if your page is marked up correctly according to the Rich Results Test.

For a list of common reasons why Google may not show your content in a rich result, see the General Structured Data Guidelines.
How do I check if my enabled schemas are working?

Please read this guide on how to test your enabled schemas.
If I have one product included in multiple meta data templates at the same time, which template would be applied?

Among enabled meta data templates of the same type (Product/Collection/Article), if there are duplicate products/collections/articles, the following priority rule will be applied, from top to bottom:
1. Priority config: the bigger number the higher priority.
2. Time of creation: the newer the higher priority.

Why does my traffic not increase after fixing the issues found in the SEO audit? There are lots of things that can impact your traffic — like the quality of your page content, how many good backlinks you have, and what your competitors are doing. So even if you’ve fixed all the issues and don’t see an immediate boost in traffic, it doesn’t mean your efforts didn’t matter. Every issue flagged in our SEO audit affects your store’s visibility in some way, and addressing them is always worthwhile. These improvements help build a stronger foundation for your store and can lead to better results over time.
