Why Was Your Google Merchant Center Account Suspended?

If your Google Merchant Center (GMC) account was suspended, it means Google found something in your online store, product listings, or business setup that they didn’t like. But they rarely explain things clearly — and that leaves business owners confused and stuck.

⚠️ Your account is suspended. Now what?

 You’re not alone. Around 1 in 4 eCommerce stores face this issue every year. When this happens, your products instantly disappear from Google Shopping, which can kill traffic and sales overnight.

Why Was Your Google Merchant Center Account Suspended?

You’re running a legitimate store. You’re selling real products. But suddenly, your Google Merchant Center account is suspended, and your product ads stop showing — without a clear explanation.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

At Trusted Web Eservices, we’ve helped 2,800+ eCommerce stores get back online. After reviewing thousands of suspension cases, we’ve identified the most common — and costly — reasons for account bans.

Here’s what we typically find and how we fix them:

1. Product Policy Violations (34% of Cases)

Google has strict rules about what you can and can’t sell. Even listing a product in a restricted category — even by mistake — can get your account flagged.

Examples that trigger instant suspensions:

Prohibited Category Common Examples Risk Level Auto-Suspension
Weapons & Explosives Knives, firearms accessories, fireworks Extreme Yes
Adult Content Sexual wellness products, adult entertainment High Yes
Counterfeit Goods Replica designer items, unauthorized merchandise Extreme Yes
Supplements Unapproved health claims, diet pills High Manual Review

Our Fix: We help you remove, update, or properly categorize flagged items to meet Google’s guidelines fast.

2. Misrepresentation Issues in Google Merchant Center (28% of Cases)

If your prices, stock status, or shipping costs in Google’s system don’t match your website, Google sees it as misleading — even if it’s unintentional.

  • Price Mismatches: Website price is higher than what Google displays
  • Out-of-Stock Items: Item is out of stock but still listed
  • Hidden Costs: Hidden shipping or tax fees not shown upfront
  • Misleading Promotions: Promotions shown in ads that don’t exist on your site

Our Fix: We sync your product feed with your website and ensure consistency across all listings.

3. Website & Landing Page Problems (18% of Cases)

Many accounts face GMC suspension due to website issues like poor usability, slow loading times, or lack of trust-building pages. Google reviews your site to ensure it provides a safe, user-friendly shopping experience. If your site feels untrustworthy, hard to navigate, or lacks important policies, your Merchant Center account may be suspended.

Website Issue Impact Detection Method Fix Difficulty
Broken Checkout Process Immediate Suspension Automated Testing Medium
No SSL (https) or privacy policy Account Warning → Suspension Security Scan Easy
Mobile Unfriendly Design Product Disapprovals Mobile-First Indexing High
Slow Page Speed (>5 seconds) Quality Score Reduction Core Web Vitals Medium
Missing return, contact, or shipping pages Policy Violation Manual Review Easy

Our Fix: We audit your site and fix every red flag that could be hurting your approval chances.

4. Data Quality & Feed Issues (12% of Cases)

Google Merchant Center suspensions often happen because of incomplete product data or feed disapprovals. If your product titles, images, or descriptions don’t meet Google’s formatting and content guidelines, your listings can be flagged or your account suspended.

  • Missing Required Attributes: GTIN, MPN, brand, condition not provided
  • Poor Product Titles: Keyword stuffing, promotional text, or irrelevant information
  • Low-Quality Images: Watermarks, promotional text overlays, or insufficient resolution
  • Incorrect Categorization: Products placed in wrong Google product categories
  • Invalid GTINs: Fake or incorrect Global Trade Item Numbers

Our Fix: We clean, correct, and optimize your entire product feed — so it not only complies with Google’s product listing policies, but also improves your click-through and sales performance.

5. Account Practice Violations (8% of Cases)

Google Merchant Center suspends accounts that show signs of dishonest activity or policy abuse. Even if unintentional, these issues signal a trust violation—and Google acts quickly.

⚠️ High-Risk Behaviors:

  • Reopening a new GMC account after a previous ban (circumvention)
  • Using fake business names, phone numbers, or addresses
  • Manipulating product reviews or ratings
  • Cloaking – showing different content to Google than to users
  • Repeated policy violations despite previous warnings

Our Fix: We review and clean up your business details, remove flagged practices, and file a compliant appeal to help restore your account’s credibility and get you reinstated.

Additional Suspension Triggers

Violation Type Description Frequency Severity
Editorial Standards Poor grammar, excessive capitalization, promotional language 6% Low-Medium
Shipping Policy Violations Inaccurate delivery times, restricted shipping areas 4% Medium
Tax Compliance Incorrect tax calculations, missing tax information 3% Medium
Trademark Infringement Using protected brand names without authorization 2% High
Regional Requirements Not meeting country-specific regulations (EU, UK, etc.) 3% Medium-High
