Hi everyone, I’m new here and have a question about my GMC misrep. I’ve checked my site using the GMC Suspension video, which was very valuable. However, I’m still unsure about one thing: my address details. I sell in the UK, but my company is based in the Netherlands. My footer shows my Dutch business address with a UK phone number. I thought this would be better for trust. I also use these details consistently in my policies and GMC. Could this be causing the misrepresentation issue? And if so, can I remove the phone number everywhere and only provide an email address, or would a Dutch phone number be better? Does anyone here have experience with this or any advice? Also, is there a shareable/editable link available for the GMC Unban Blueprint?

Hey everyone Quick question about product images and GMC compliance, would love to hear from anyone who's dealt with this. I'm running my store and currently using supplier images for my product feed. I know GMC can be strict about image quality and originality, but I'm not sure where exactly the line is. A few things I'm wondering: 1. Do you need to swap out all product images with AI-generated or custom ones to stay safe with GMC, or is it only an issue if you're getting actual policy violations? 2. Can you get away with importing AliExpress or competitor images 1:1, or does that cause misrepresentation / image quality issues down the line? 3. What's the most efficient way to produce custom product images at scale? With a large catalog, doing this manually for every product feels like a massive time sink, curious if anyone has a good workflow (AI tools, batch editing, etc.) Any experience or tips appreciated, especially if you've managed to scale this without spending hours on every single product image. Thanks!

I’m facing a weird issue with Google Merchant Center. Twice now, I submitted my store for review and got approved, but within minutes my account was suspended again for the same reason. The issue says “parked domain,” but my site is a fully functional Shopify store with products, navigation, and all policies (shipping, returns, privacy). It’s live and accessible. I’ve already checked everything, removed placeholder content, and made sure the domain is properly connected, but it still keeps happening. Has anyone faced this before? What exactly triggers the parked domain flag even after approval, and how did you fix it?

Hey everyone, Would really appreciate some help with this situation. I’ve have my GMC account running for about 5 months now and never had this issue before. A few days ago, I received an email from GMC saying there was a problem with my account (“website or online shop needs improvement”) and my product listings got limited visibility. I requested a review and it got approved, but shortly after (yesterday) I received the same email again and now my shopping ads are not displayed and my products are not showing. I’ve gone through the requirements they mention. My domain matches correctly, I couldn’t find any broken links, I don’t have any placeholder images or unfinished content, my product data matches my website and all my business information and policies are in place. I do have around 800-900 products, so checking everything in depth is quite difficult. I haven’t faced this issue before, which is why I’m confused what could suddenly be triggering it now. I guess you guys have probably seen this before many times, what is usually the main reason behind this kind of issue? I’m also a bit worried they might suspend my GMC if this keeps happening, since this is already the second time... Any help would mean a lot 🙏

A lot of people ask why we have such a high success rate (100%) on reactivating suspended GMCs (especially misrep cases). Honestly, it’s not magic. It’s just process + not skipping steps ✍️ First thing when we onboard a client, we don’t jump into fixing. We start with understanding the history. We ask about everything, when it got suspended, what was changed before, previous domains, appeals sent, etc. Most issues are already hidden there. Then the team does a full audit of the website. Not just basic stuff, we check brand alignment, trust signals, product pages, overall structure, how the store “looks” from Google’s perspective... At the same time, we add the case to our queue for our insider. He reviews it deeper from inside the account side, checks the real root cause, misrep triggers, and even internal notes left on the account. After that, we go back to the client with a clear action plan. What to fix, what to change, what to improve. No random edits. Once everything is properly aligned, the Insider proceeds with the reactivation (clearing flags, removing any reviewer notes on your account, and reactivating the GMC internally), and that’s what makes the difference.. Most people focus only on getting it back live.We focus on fixing the root + cleaning the account internally+externally so it can actually stay stable long term ✅, not drop again after a few days (we provide also 30-day guarantee after reactivation to ensure GMC stay stable) 🔥🔥 here’s same takeaways for you guys after we get almost 100% success rate to reinstate suspended gmcs from misrep with a solid process focused on identifying and fixing the root cause - Misrepresentation is still one of the most common (and most misunderstood) suspensions in Google Merchant Center in 2026. and after the latest clarifications, it’s even more clear that this is not about “one mistake” but about overall trust perception. Google literally defines misrepresentation as anything that looks misleading, incomplete, or inconsistent about your business, products, or offersand with recent updates, they doubled down on:
