Google Setup for Shopify: Search Console, Merchant Center, Analytics & Business Profile

A one-time setup that connects a Shopify store to the four Google tools most stores rely on: Search Console, Merchant Center, Google Analytics 4 and Google Business Profile. It suits stores that have never set these up, or that set them up partly and are not sure they work. Common problems are pages Google has not indexed, products that never appear in Google Shopping, analytics that miss sales or count them twice, and a business profile that is incomplete or not linked to the store. Each tool is set up, checked and linked to the others, so the data matches across all four.

Stores that only need Google Shopping can choose the Google Merchant Center & Shopping Feed Setup instead.

What's included

• Google Search Console: domain verified, sitemap submitted, indexing reviewed, and unindexed pages fixed or requested for indexing where possible.
• Google Merchant Center: account setup or review, Shopify connection through the Google & YouTube app, product sync checked, shipping and returns configured, disapprovals fixed for up to 1,000 products, and free listings enabled.
• Google Analytics 4: property set up or reviewed, connected to Shopify, key ecommerce events (product views, add to cart, checkout and purchase) checked with a test order, and conversions confirmed.
• Google Business Profile: new setup or cleanup of an existing profile, with categories, hours, description and a link to the store. The address can stay hidden for service-area businesses.
• Linking: Search Console, Merchant Center and Analytics linked together, and to Google Ads if you have an account.
• A written report of what was set up, what was fixed and what to watch for.

What I need from you

• Staff account access to your Shopify admin, including permission to manage apps, sales channels and online store settings.
• Access to your Google account, or admin access to any existing Search Console, Merchant Center, Analytics or Business Profile accounts.
• Access to your domain provider, if Search Console verification needs a DNS record.
• Your business details, hours, service area, shipping rates and return policy.
• Barcodes (GTINs) or manufacturer part numbers, if you have them.

How it works

1. Purchase the service. You'll receive a short intake form by email.
2. Send the form and grant access.
3. Setup and initial fixes are completed within 7 to 10 business days. Google's reviews, indexing and Business Profile verification can take additional time outside my control.
4. You review the report. One round of follow-up fixes is included once Google's reviews are complete.

Consultation included

A 60-minute consultation is included with this package. The booking link is sent by email after purchase, along with your intake form. If you're in the Edmonton area, an in-person meeting is available instead.

What you get at the end

Four Google accounts set up, verified and linked to your store and to each other, with accurate sales tracking, an approved or clearly documented product feed, and a report you can refer to later.

Not included

• Managing Google Ads campaigns or ad spend.
• Guaranteed indexing or search rankings. Google decides what it indexes and how pages rank.
• Suspension appeals or Business Profile verification steps that require identity or video verification on your part.
• Google Tag Manager builds, Meta pixel or other non-Google tracking.
• Catalogues over 1,000 products or multi-country feeds, which need a quote. Request a quote through the contact page.
• Ongoing monitoring (feed checks are available within Catalogue Care).
