Webstore booth questions

Can someone please explain this. I have a Bonanza booth it works. I just opened a web store called. wwwlteen-stars-forever.com It is finally showing up but when I type in teen stars forever in google nothing shows up so I need to pay for the advertising correct.

I’m guessing to get it searched in google you have to go to go daddy or another site for google to find it.

One more question.Ssince I opened a web store www.teen-stars-forever.com even if I registered through bonanza if someone buys from my web store I don’t get a fee, but I see the letter B before the https. Doesn’t either way get you to google shopping. If I own my domain name does it make you higher up in google. thanks

Great questions, @teen_stars_forever! It sounds like you’re entering teen-stars-forever.com in Google search? You’ll want to make sure you’ve selected “Google Shopping” when searching on Google. If you’re not doing this, you’re asking Google to broaden their search and you may see stuff about “teen stars” from back in the day.

Once you click the Google Shopping, you should see your items and this will direct shoppers to your booth. If you wish to advertise your Webstore on Google Shopping, you need to sign up for the Webstore Broadcaster. The Webstore Broadcaster sends your active Webstore listings to Google. They turn that information into buyer ads on Google Shopping.

Just to confirm, whenever you sell an item through your Webstore, you will not be charged a seller fee. Owning a domain does not make you higher up in Google Shopping searches. Having great titles with keywords, filling out item traits on your listings (UPC’s, MPN’s, etc.), having great descriptions with more keywords, and quality photos (no watermarks) will help increase the chance that Google will place your items higher on search when shoppers are searching for similar items.

Hope this all helps!

I’m not sure I understand your explanation but, in my experience, if you want your domain to show up in Google and Bing, you must go to their Web Master Tools site and submit your domain name, or the URL you want to show in Google searches, to them.
For Google, that [URL removed] [URL removed]
For Bing and Yahoo it [URL removed] [URL removed]
I submitted both our LuLu’s Fancy Bonanza booth URL and our domain name address.

In addition, I think understood you to say that you registered your domain through Bonanza. I had no idea they offered such a service.
In my experience, if you register your own domain name, such as we did… www.lulusfancy.com, you then go to your domain name registrar, into your account > domain settings, and you redirect or forward traffic that goes to your domain name to your Bonanza booth or, I guess in your case, your Web store.
I use GoDaddy for my registrar, so I went into my GoDaddy domain account and then into our domain settings and forwarded our domain traffic to our Bonanza booth. You can see that if you go to our www.lulusfancy.com, you’ll land right in our Bonanza booth. That’s what I think you want to happen for your domain, right?
If you need any help or further clarification for any of this, feel free to message me and I’ll do what I can. I hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that it took a while for me to get our URLs to show up in the first pages of search returns. I had to promote our booth and social media profiles and posts. I guess it took about a month of working on it for our pages to show up first in search returns.

It was pretty annoying, because for a long time, the business “LuLu’s” kept showing up first, even though they had nothing about “Fancy” in their name or descriptions. That is something to do with Google and irks the heck out of me.
