Pages go live without links from related site sections.
How to check if you have this issue
Depending on the issue: Google Search Console, PageSpeed Insights, Rich Results Test, or view-source to inspect tags and scripts.
How to fix it: precise steps
Prioritize one change at a time: adjust theme Liquid or app settings, deploy, then re-run validation (Search Console, PageSpeed, or Rich Results Test).
How to confirm it is fixed
Repeat the same checks as in the verification step after deploy. SEO effects can take days to weeks depending on crawl budget.
Impact on SEO and conversion
Medium-impact issues stack with other friction; fixes refine CTR, trust, or measurement.
