We establish and verify your account, connect it directly to your store, and configure accurate tax, shipping, and product feeds — so your catalog shows up across Google Search and Shopping instead of sitting disapproved.
Products get disapproved for the same handful of reasons every time: missing GTINs, a price or availability that doesn’t match the landing page, or a title that violates Google’s promotional-language policy. 2026 Merchant Center research found that account-level data quality violations trigger a 28-day warning window before suspension — except price and availability mismatches, which trigger disapproval immediately, with no grace period.
Every disapproved product is invisible in Shopping results and free listings until it’s fixed and re-reviewed, which normally takes another 3–5 business days — time that’s especially costly during peak selling periods.
Your Merchant Center account created and verified against your website, meeting Google’s Shopping policy requirements from the start.
Tax and shipping settings configured precisely, since mismatches here are one of the most common causes of disapprovals and inaccurate pricing.
A structured, automated feed built from your store’s product data, so listings stay accurate without manual re-uploading.
Every product checked for required attributes and valid identifiers before submission, catching the issues that cause disapprovals before Google does.
One clear scope, whether it’s a first-time setup, a Shopify/WooCommerce integration, or fixing an existing disapproved feed.
A catalog that stays approved, not one you’re constantly firefighting.
Merchant Center account created, website ownership verified, and business information configured to meet Google’s Shopping policy requirements.
An automated product feed built and connected to your store, with tax, shipping, and required attributes configured correctly from the start.
Every product checked for GTINs, image compliance, and title policy violations before submission — catching issues before Google does.
Feed submitted, disapprovals diagnosed and fixed quickly if they appear, and ongoing monitoring set up to catch new issues early.

Timeline: a standard setup and first feed submission is usually complete within 2–4 days; Google’s own review typically takes 3–5 business days after that, and we monitor the Diagnostics page closely through that window to catch and fix anything before it affects visibility.
Compliance-checked before submission. We catch the required-attribute and policy issues that cause disapprovals, before Google’s review does.
Automated, not manual. Feeds are built to sync with your store automatically, so listings don’t quietly go stale.
Monitored after launch. We watch the Diagnostics page for new issues rather than treating setup as a one-time task.
Ready for Shopping campaigns. The feed is built with paid Shopping and Performance Max campaigns in mind, not just free listings.
Merchant Center gets your products visible — but turning that visibility into sales through Shopping and Performance Max campaigns is the next step. A clean, compliant feed is what makes those campaigns actually perform.
Before: The majority of the product catalog sat disapproved, with no clear pattern the client could identify.
Diagnosis: Missing GTINs on custom products and a handful of titles using promotional language (‘Sale’, ‘Free Shipping’) were triggering blanket disapprovals across categories.
Fix: Set identifier_exists correctly for items without manufacturer barcodes, rewrote non-compliant titles, and rebuilt the feed with proper attribute mapping.
Result: The catalog moved from majority-disapproved to fully approved within the standard review window, with no further policy flags.
Before: Products were disapproving immediately and repeatedly, with no warning period, despite feed data looking correct at a glance.
Diagnosis: Landing page prices were updating on the site faster than the feed was syncing, triggering Google’s zero-grace-period price and availability rule.
Fix: Rebuilt the feed with automated, frequent syncing so pricing and availability stay matched to the live site in near real time.
Result: Price-related disapprovals stopped recurring, and the catalog stayed consistently approved through a subsequent sale period.
Before: Running Google Shopping ads with a manually maintained spreadsheet feed that was rarely kept up to date.
Diagnosis: The manual process meant stock levels, prices, and new products were frequently out of sync with what was actually live on the Shopify store.
Fix: Set up an automated Shopify-to-Merchant-Center feed integration with scheduled syncing and attribute mapping.
Result: The feed now updates automatically with the store, eliminating the stale listings and mismatches that had been causing disapprovals.
