A short guide to connecting your Salla store to Google Search Console and getting your products indexed.
Plenty of Salla merchants run ads, fill out product pages, and still only see their homepage on Google. Usually the store was never connected to Google Search Console. That free tool tells you what Google actually sees: indexed pages, search queries, sitemap status, and indexing errors.
It does not replace fixing SEO inside Salla. Read our SEO health guide for that. This post is about the Google side.
Why it matters (and why it is not Analytics)
Analytics shows who visited your store. Search Console shows how people found you in Google search before they clicked. Different data.
Salla usually gives you a sitemap at something like /sitemap.xml, but Google will not use it properly until you verify your store and submit the URL in GSC. Skip that step and you are often stuck with partial indexing.
Connect your store
Go to search.google.com/search-console and add your domain or URL prefix.
Use your real custom domain (e.g. mybrand.sa), not an old Salla URL you no longer sell on. Verify via DNS TXT record (best long term) or an HTML meta tag in your theme head.
DNS can take a few minutes or up to 48 hours. Do not delete the TXT record early.
Submit your sitemap
In GSC, open Sitemaps and submit:
https://yourstore.com/sitemap.xml
Open that link in your browser first. You should see XML with product URLs, not a 404.
Indexing takes time. You want Success, not Error. Then use URL Inspection on your top products and hit Request indexing after you update titles or descriptions.
Reports worth checking
Performance: queries, impressions, clicks, CTR. High impressions with low clicks usually mean weak product titles or meta descriptions. Dohour helps fix those at scale inside Salla.
Pages: how many URLs are indexed vs excluded. If important products show noindex or crawled-not-indexed, fix the cause in Salla before blaming the market.
Experience: if mobile or speed scores stay red, check heavy product images. See our visual SEO guide.
Common mistakes: never opening GSC after SEO changes, copy-pasted supplier descriptions, blocking product pages with robots/noindex, and giving up after one week. New stores often need 2 to 8 weeks for real Performance data.
Dohour fixes your store internally (products, images, URLs, categories). Search Console confirms Google noticed. For bilingual stores, see our cross-border SEO guide. For deeper Salla SEO, read the full roadmap.
