For suspended accounts

Why did Google suspend your account?

Google's suspension email says "misrepresentation" and nothing else. Our Account Health Report aggregates every data point into one page: the specific policy codes cited, the products affected, the attribute-quality failures, the trust signals Google saw, and the brand sentiment across Reddit / Trustpilot / news.

Google's email never tells you enough

Suspended merchants spend days guessing. Was it the feed? The landing page? The return policy? The domain age? A competitor complaint? Without the full picture, your appeal will miss something and get rejected.

What Google's email typically says:

"Your Merchant Center account has been suspended due to policy violations, including but not limited to misrepresentation. Please review our policies and request a review if you believe this was in error."

❌ No specific products. No issue codes. No fix path.

What the FeedShield Health Report tells you:

  • ✓ The 47 specific SKUs flagged, grouped by policy code
  • ✓ Top 8 attribute-quality failures across your feed
  • ✓ Trust-signal breakdown (Trustpilot, SSL, age, contact)
  • ✓ Brand sentiment from Reddit, Trustpilot, news
  • ✓ Direct jump-off to the AI Appeal Letter Generator

The three most common suspension reasons we see

Pulled from ~140 Health Reports on suspended accounts. Your reason is almost always one of these three:

1

Misrepresentation (attribute mismatch)

42%

Feed price ≠ landing page price. Feed availability ≠ real stock. Compare-at pricing flagged as fake discount.

2

Insufficient trust signals for a young domain

28%

Domain <90 days. No Trustpilot profile. Missing return or privacy page. Contact info absent.

3

Policy-page quality fail

18%

Return policy exists but is a stub ('contact us for returns'). Privacy doesn't list cookies. Terms don't name a governing law.

The remaining 12% split across feed errors, shipping config, phone verification, and prohibited-products issues.
