Frequently asked
Does Lengow check for GMC compliance issues?
Lengow checks basic feed quality metrics but does not perform website-level compliance checks, misrepresentation scanning, or structured data validation specific to Google Merchant Center requirements.
Is Lengow available outside Europe?
Yes, though Lengow has stronger marketplace integrations in Europe. FeedShield works globally and is not region-specific.
Can Lengow prevent my GMC account from being suspended?
Lengow can help prevent feed-level disapprovals but cannot detect or prevent website-level suspensions, which account for the majority of GMC account issues.
How does pricing compare?
Lengow starts at roughly EUR 500/month for enterprise clients. FeedShield starts free, with Pro at $49/month and Agency at $149/month.
Should European agencies use FeedShield?
Yes. European agencies running Google Shopping campaigns face the same GMC compliance requirements as everyone else. FeedShield provides the compliance monitoring that no European feed platform includes.
