Shopify access is held, so this is the order to actually do it in. Wave one carries no risk and needs nothing from Assembly.

Before state frozen 2026-08-27

Do this before touching anything

The one irreversible mistake Search Console access is now in place, and the property already carries history. Baseline at 27 August: 597 web search clicks over roughly ten weeks, 351 pages indexed, 60 not indexed. That is a genuine before figure, not a zero start, so the effect of these changes will be attributable.

Export the queries and landing pages reports before wave one ships, so the comparison is against a saved snapshot rather than a moving window. The on-page state of every page in wave one is frozen below as well.

Wave one  ·  no risk, no dependencies, about 70 minutes

Nothing here changes a URL, so nothing here can break a link or lose a ranking. All of it can be done today.

01
Correct 'scones' to 'sconces' on 26 product titles
About 40 minutesRisk: None
Where

Products > (each of 26) > Title

Detail

Editing a product title in Shopify does NOT change its URL. The handle is a separate field under Search engine listing. So all 26 titles can be corrected today with zero redirect risk and nothing to prepare first. The 8 handles that also contain 'scone' are a separate, optional job listed in Wave 3.

02
Retitle the Murano collection and give it a description
5 minutesRisk: None
Where

Products > Collections > Murano Lighting > Search engine listing

Detail

Currently titled 'Lighting'. The word Murano does not appear in the title of the page holding 92 Murano products, and it has no meta description at all. Paste the title and description from the Murano build pack.

03
Homepage title and meta description
5 minutesRisk: None
Where

Online Store > Preferences > Homepage title and meta description

Detail

Replaces a 30 character title with no category or location, and a 299 character description that Google truncates and that currently contains the 'Wall Scones' misspelling on the most visited page of the site.

04
Meta descriptions on the other six collections
20 minutesRisk: None
Where

Products > Collections > each of 7 > Search engine listing

Detail

None of the seven collections has one. Google is writing its own snippet for every category page on the site.

The 26 title corrections

Copy the right hand column. Editing the title does not alter the URL, so the third column only matters if you later choose to change the handles as well, which is wave three.

Wave two  ·  template and bulk edits

Bigger effect, slightly more care. Duplicate the theme before editing code.

Add the H1 to the collection template

No collection page on the site has an H1. This is one template change that fixes all seven at once, and every new collection afterwards.

Theme edit, test on a duplicate first
Online Store > Themes > Edit code
Add the H1 and heading spine to the homepage

The homepage has an empty H1 and no content headings at all. Section 3 has the full hierarchy.

Theme edit
Online Store > Themes > Edit code
Replace Organization schema with FurnitureStore

Adds the Al Quoz address and phone so the showroom is visible to local search. Every retail competitor has this. Needs opening hours and coordinates from Assembly before it goes in.

Waiting on opening hours
Online Store > Themes > Edit code
Populate product_type on the 96 Murano products

95 of 96 are empty. This is what lets the four new Murano collections build themselves instead of being hand curated forever.

Bulk edit
Products > bulk edit
Populate vendor with the real maker on 357 products

All 357 say 'Assembly Vintage Concept Store'. Shopify sends vendor to Google as the brand attribute, so the whole Shopping feed is branded with the shop name instead of Knoll, Cassina or Mazzega.

Bulk edit, improves the Merchant Center feed too
Products > bulk edit

Wave three  ·  renames, redirects first

Create every redirect in Online Store > Navigation > URL Redirects BEFORE editing the handle. Shopify does not create them automatically, and the old URL will 404 the moment the handle changes.

FromToWhy
/collections/tapestry/collections/vintage-persian-rugs65 Persian rugs on a URL that says tapestry
/collections/lightning/collections/vintage-lighting37 lights on a URL that says lightning
/collections/artwork/collections/art-and-objectsMerge, 28 products
/collections/decorative-objects/collections/art-and-objectsMerge, 8 products

Plus the 8 product handles containing "scone", listed in the table above. These are optional: the titles are already corrected in wave one, and the handles are invisible to customers.
