For first-time GMC submitters

Don't submit your first feed without this audit

New GMC accounts face the highest scrutiny. The 'cold-start trust problem' is real: domains under 90 days old with weak cross-property identity signals get flagged at higher rates than established accounts. The pre-submission audit catches what would otherwise cause a 4-6 week suspension.

Pre-submission compliance check

250+ checks across feed, policies, identity, hidden DOM patterns. Returns a ranked findings list with copy-paste fixes per platform. Free, 90 seconds, no credit card.

Cold-start trust signal verification

Confirms the 5 critical first-submission signals are in place: claimed Google Business Profile, LinkedIn page, third-party review profile, real customer service infrastructure, defendable pricing history.

First-submission appeal preparedness

If the first review does flag your account, the audit results form the foundation of your appeal. Documented compliance state + specific remediations = higher first-attempt success.

This is for you if

You are about to submit your first feed to Google Merchant Center
Your domain is less than 6 months old
You operate in a category that faces stricter first-submission review (supplements, health, alcohol, financial, beauty with claims)
You've never run a GMC account before and want to avoid the typical first-time traps
You want to prevent a 4-6 week first-submission suspension recovery

This is probably not for you if

·Your GMC account is already active and approved — see other use cases for ongoing monitoring
·Your account is already suspended — see /use-cases/suspension-recovery
·You only want to do organic SEO without Shopping ads — GMC is not relevant

Real case study

The pre-submission audit that saved a launch

Real case: new Australian supplement brand, 32 SKUs, 48 hours from first submission. Pre-submission audit caught 9 issues (Recharge subscription default, FDA-approved claims without substantiation, template privacy policy, missing physical address). 5-day fix sprint. First submission approved in 6 business days — uncommon speed for a new supplement account.
