Verify your store in Google Search Console and submit your sitemap

Tell Google your store exists: verify it in Search Console with the HTML tag, submit your sitemap so new products are found in days, and see what people search to find you.

Verify your store

  1. 1. Add your store as a property

    In Google Search Console

    Open search.google.com/search-console, choose "URL prefix" and enter your store's full address, e.g. https://yourstore.slaby.in or your own domain.

  2. 2. Copy the HTML tag code

    In Google Search Console

    Choose the HTML tag method. Copy only the code inside content="…" — not the whole tag.

  3. 3. Paste it in Slaby

    Settings → Marketing & SEO → Search engines

    Paste it in "Google Search Console verification token" and save. It goes live at once.

  4. 4. Press Verify

    In Google Search Console

    Google checks your store and confirms the property.

Submit your sitemap

  1. 1. Open Sitemaps

    In Google Search Console

    In the left menu, open Sitemaps.

  2. 2. Enter sitemap.xml and press Submit

    Your store's sitemap is always at /sitemap.xml and updates itself when you add products. It lists your products and every category that has at least one product.

  3. 3. Tell Slaby it's done

    Next steps

    Slaby can't see inside Google, so tap "I've done this" on the sitemap step.

After that

New stores usually appear in Google within days to a few weeks. Check Performance in Search Console for the searches that show your store — they're great words for product names and descriptions.

If you add your own domain later, add it as a new property and submit the sitemap there too.

In the Pages report, some pages show as "Excluded by 'noindex' tag". That is on purpose. Slaby keeps these out of Google's results so Google spends its time on your real product and category pages: your store's search results pages, categories with no products yet, and products with no photo and a very short description (under about 50 characters).

To get such a product on Google, add a photo or write a fuller description. Google picks up the change the next time it visits the page.

हिन्दी में

Google Search Console में स्टोर का पता जोड़ें, HTML tag का content कोड कॉपी करके Settings → Marketing & SEO में डालें और Verify दबाएँ। फिर Sitemaps में sitemap.xml लिखकर Submit करें और Next steps में "मैंने कर लिया" दबाएँ। जिस प्रोडक्ट की फ़ोटो नहीं है और विवरण बहुत छोटा है (लगभग 50 अक्षर से कम), वह Google में नहीं दिखता — फ़ोटो या पूरा विवरण जोड़ें। स्टोर के सर्च पेज और ख़ाली कैटेगरी भी जानबूझकर Google से बाहर रखे जाते हैं।
