Track Google policy changes before they catch you off guard
Google edits its Merchant Center and Shopping policy pages several times a year, usually without a merchant-facing announcement. FeedShield checks 18 official policy pages every day and tells you what changed.
What FeedShield does here
18 sources, checked daily
Covers Merchant Center core policy, prohibited and restricted content, account suspensions and appeals, Shopping ads requirements, Google Ads policy, Google Business Profile, Shopify's Google channel, and Meta Commerce policy, one page per source.
Real edits, not menu churn
Google Help Center page chrome and full dates (month, day and year) are stripped before each comparison. Any change left after that fires an alert, down to a single word, including a month-and-year stamp like "Last updated: March 2026".
An in-app alert on paid plans
When a monitored page changes, everyone on a paid plan gets a dashboard notification that quotes the changed text and links the source page.
Public changelog
The policy tracker page is curated separately: a short list of confirmed changes, each dated and sourced to the official page it came from.
This is a good fit if
- You run Google Shopping ads and want policy updates on record instead of finding out from a forum post
- You operate in a category that gets frequent policy attention (supplements, alcohol, financial products, electronics)
- You manage an agency portfolio and want one place to check policy history
- You want a dated, sourced reference instead of a summary someone wrote from memory
Probably not the right fit if
- You only run organic listings with no Shopping ads or Merchant Center account
- You already have a dedicated policy-tracking process that covers this
