class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your store should clearly display your business identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check that you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact Us page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All information should be accurate and consistent across your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-title\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Review Your Store Policies<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google expects every ecommerce website to provide clear policies for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your Shopify store should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Privacy Policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refund &amp; Return Policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipping Policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terms &amp; Conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missing or unclear policies are one of the most common causes of Misrepresentation warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-title\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Audit Your Product Data<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review every product before syncing it with Google Merchant Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product titles are accurate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Descriptions match the actual product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices are correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product availability is updated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images represent the real product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid using misleading promotions or exaggerated product claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the <strong>Diagnostics<\/strong> section inside Google Merchant Center and review every warning or error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Policy violations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product disapprovals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feed issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing attributes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website

class=\"wp-block-title\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Optimize Your Product Feed<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your product feed should always stay synchronized with your Shopify store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product IDs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GTIN<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Categories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Availability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clean and optimized feed improves both approval rates and product visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-title\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Request a Review<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve fixed all issues, submit a review request through Google Merchant Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid making major changes while your review is in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google usually reviews accounts within several business days, although complex cases may take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"
