How much does a Google Merchant Center repair cost?
The diagnosis costs PLN 390 net and the fix with an appeal PLN 990 net, diagnosis included. 23% VAT is added to each price.
What does an account suspension for misrepresentation mean?
Google decided the store does not give a buyer enough information to trust it. Most often company details and contact, terms or a clear returns policy are missing, or the price and shipping on the store differ from the product feed. I fill the gaps and request a review.
Why does Google disapprove products in Merchant Center?
The usual reasons are a price or availability on the store that differs from the feed, a missing GTIN (EAN), an image with promotional text or a watermark, missing shipping costs and a product that breaks Google policy. Each disapproval has its own cause in the account diagnostics, and that is where I start.
How long does it take to get the account back?
I make the fixes and file the appeal within 2 working days of access. Then it is Google's turn, from a few days to a few weeks. I have no influence on that decision.
What access do you need?
An invitation to the Merchant Center account for the email address from my reply. If the store needs changes, an account in its admin too. You do not share your Google password.
Which store platforms do you work with?
Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shoper and IdoSell, and product feeds from BaseLinker. If a plugin or an integration builds the feed, I fix its settings rather than the products by hand, so the errors do not come back.
When do I pay?
For the diagnosis when you receive it. For the fix once the changes are visible in the account and the appeal is filed. The VAT invoice comes before the transfer.
