The challenge
Numoya was expanding from their home market into the US through a new LLC. They needed a brand new Google Merchant Center account set up and approved on the first try. With 342 products to list, any compliance issue at launch would delay their US market entry by weeks. Previous attempts to set up GMC accounts for other regions had resulted in multiple rejections and months of back-and-forth with Google support.
The solution
Before submitting a single product to GMC, Numoya ran their entire US-facing Shopify store through FeedShield. The pre-launch audit caught 28 issues: missing US-specific shipping policy details, prices displayed without USD currency codes, product descriptions that referenced their home-market warranty terms instead of US terms, and 15 products missing required structured data fields. Every issue was fixed before the GMC account was even created.
The results
Numoya's GMC application was approved on the first submission. All 342 products passed review with zero disapprovals. Their US Google Shopping campaigns launched on schedule, generating $34,200 in first-month revenue. The pre-launch audit approach saved an estimated 4-6 weeks compared to the typical submit-reject-fix cycle.
