Pre-qualify GMC clients
before you sign them.
Every agency has done it. Signed a client, started the work, and a month later realized their domain is six weeks old, Trustpilot is 2.1 stars, and Google was never going to approve them. The retainer is real. The work is impossible.

The scenario every agency knows
Month 1: sign the retainer
$3-8k/mo. Client has a nice-looking Shopify store. They want Google Shopping ads yesterday.
Month 2: suspended
Google suspends the merchant account. Client is panicking. You're scrambling to identify the cause — is it the feed? The domain? The policy pages?
Month 3: churn
Appeal rejected. Second appeal rejected. Client blames you. Retainer cancelled. Reputation damaged.
A 30-second scan on the sales call would have flagged this. Domain age 42 days, Trustpilot rating 2.1, no return policy on the homepage. You pass on the retainer, or you quote a 3-month trust-signal remediation phase before ads run. Either way you don't get burned.
How agencies use FeedShield pre-qualification
- 1
Prospect books a sales call
Before the call, paste their domain into the free scam check. 30 seconds. You walk in knowing exactly what you're dealing with.
- 2
Score <40 = Green. Proceed normally.
Proven domain, strong trust signals. Standard onboarding.
- 3
Score 40-70 = Yellow. Scope remediation first.
Trust gaps exist. Quote a 4-6 week trust-signal phase (Trustpilot setup, return policy audit, GMC-ready prep) before Shopping ads go live. Higher lifetime value, less risk.
- 4
Score 70-100 = Red. Walk away or gate.
Multiple scam-pattern signals. Either politely decline, or offer a paid 'merchant-ready' diagnostic package separate from the ads retainer. Protect your win rate.
