There could be several reasons why your online store isn’t showing up in search engine results:
- You have just started your store: If you have just started selling online, your website will not show up in search results immediately. Search engines take time to index new sites. You can try to speed the process by submitting your sitemap to Google Search Console.
- You are still on a trial account: Search engines do not index trial stores. Switch to a paid Dukaan plan from here.
- Developing a content strategy: Simply having an online presence, does not mean that the store will get indexed on search engines. You should regularly add relevant content related to your store.
- Issues with the search engine: It may be possible that the search engine itself is taking longer to index sites.
