Google Merchant Center Account Recovery

A suspended Google Merchant Center account doesn’t just stop your Shopping ads—it kills your entire product discovery pipeline overnight. Thousands of dollars in daily revenue vanish instantly as your products disappear from Google Shopping, Search results, and the entire Google ecosystem.

Google’s Merchant Center policies are complex, constantly changing, and ruthlessly enforced. One misrepresentation flag, feed error, or website violation can suspend accounts that took years to build. Whether you’re facing policy violations, feed compliance issues, or mysterious account blocks, getting reinstated requires deep understanding of Google’s merchant requirements and proven appeal strategies.

We specialise in Google Merchant Center account recovery for e-commerce businesses that have been suspended from Google Shopping. Don’t let policy violations destroy your product visibility and customer acquisition pipeline.

Facing a Google Merchant Center Suspension?

When Google suspends your Merchant Center account, the financial impact is immediate and devastating. Your carefully optimized product campaigns stop delivering results, and competitors capture the market share you’ve spent months or years building.

Immediate Impact On Sales

Complete Shopping Visibility Loss
Your products instantly disappear from Google Shopping results, product carousels, and related search features. Customers searching for your exact products won’t find you anywhere in Google’s ecosystem.

Broken Shopping Campaign Pipeline
All Google Ads Shopping campaigns stop serving immediately. Your product feed becomes useless, and you lose access to Google’s most profitable advertising formats for e-commerce businesses.

Organic Search Impact
Product rich snippets, pricing information, and shopping-related search features disappear from organic results, reducing your overall search visibility and click-through rates.

Revenue Pipeline Destruction
E-commerce businesses typically see 40-70% revenue drops within 24 hours of Merchant Center suspension. High-converting Shopping traffic disappears, leaving only more expensive and less qualified traffic sources.

Common Suspension Reasons

Product Misrepresentation
Describing products inaccurately, using misleading titles, or showing different products in images than what customers actually receive.

Policy Violations
Selling restricted products, violating age-gating requirements, or advertising items that don’t comply with Google’s shopping policies.

Feed Quality Issues
Missing required attributes, incorrect product data, broken image links, or feed formatting errors that violate Google’s technical requirements.

Website Compliance Problems
Missing return policies, unclear pricing information, poor checkout experiences, or website functionality issues that harm user experience.

Account Verification Failures
Incomplete business verification, mismatched business information, or problems with ownership documentation and merchant identity confirmation.

Types of Merchant Center Suspensions

Understanding the different types of suspensions helps identify recovery requirements and expected timelines. Each violation type requires specific documentation and compliance corrections.

Misrepresentation

Product Description Violations
When your product titles, descriptions, or images don’t accurately represent what customers receive, Google flags this as misrepresentation and suspends accounts to protect shoppers.

Price and Availability Issues
Showing incorrect prices, advertising products you don’t have in stock, or misleading customers about shipping costs and delivery times.

Brand and Trademark Problems
Selling counterfeit products, misrepresenting product brands, or using unauthorized brand names and trademarks in product listings.

Quality Mismatches
When customer reviews, return rates, or complaints indicate your products don’t match their advertised quality, specifications, or functionality.

Feed Errors & Policy Breaches

Technical Feed Violations
Missing required product attributes, incorrect data formatting, broken image URLs, or feed structure problems that prevent proper product processing.

Restricted Product Categories
Accidentally including prohibited items like weapons, adult content, counterfeit goods, or regulated products without proper licensing and compliance.

Age-Gating Requirements
Failing to properly restrict age-sensitive products or not implementing required age verification for alcohol, tobacco, or adult-oriented merchandise.

Shipping and Tax Compliance
Incorrect shipping information, missing tax calculations, or failure to comply with local tax and shipping requirements for your target markets.

Website Violations

Poor User Experience
Websites with broken functionality, slow loading times, difficult navigation, or checkout processes that frustrate customers and violate Google’s quality standards.

Missing Required Policies
Lacking proper return policies, privacy statements, terms of service, or customer service contact information that Google requires for merchant approval.

Payment Security Issues
Insecure checkout processes, missing SSL certificates, or payment handling that doesn’t meet Google’s security requirements for customer protection.

Mobile Compatibility Problems
Websites that don’t work properly on mobile devices, have responsive design issues, or provide poor mobile shopping experiences.
