What is SEO and Google Merchant Center?

SEO is how your store shows up when someone searches on Google. SEO Master lets you write the page title, description and web address for your home page, each product, category and brand.

Google Merchant Center is a separate add-on. Connect it once and your products can show on Google Shopping with their price, and stay in sync with your store.

Edge cases and limits

What happens when something is missing or set a certain way.

What happens when SEO Master is not set up?The screen asks for a homepage title, description and sitemap link before it saves. All three are needed.
What if the sharing image is the wrong size?It is not saved. The image must be exactly 1200 by 628.
What if I leave the Arabic title empty?Customers on that language see the English title and description.
Can the web address change by language?No. The web address is the same in every language.
What if I turn on my own robots.txt but leave it blank?It does not save. Add the robots.txt code, or turn the switch off.
Does Ordrio promise a Google ranking?No. You control what Google reads. Google decides the order of results.
