Over 20 Case Studies with ACTUAL suspended stores
Learn to request a review with Google (the right way)
Why so many suspended stores since 2020?
Google's updated algorithm
While many store owners have been violating Google’s Shopping policies for years, in July of 2020 Google began a huge crackdown on these stores, particularly dropshippers.
Google wants to create the best experience for customers and with a huge flood of new store owners that were flaunting the rules, Google had to do something about it. They have now made it very hard for beginners who actually are doing the right thing. It’s now much harder to get a new account live on Google Merchant Center without being suspended.
This screenshot was taken from Google’s Keyword Planner showing the huge increase in suspensions.
Google's Policies are NOT enough
Google never tells you the exact cause of your suspension.
They tell you to check their policies and fix your store. That’s it. The problem is that the cause of your suspension is often not directly mentioned in their policies.
Google now relies on finding patterns between stores. This allows them to quickly spot stores that COULD be a potential scammer. Once you learn these patterns you can fix your store, appeal the suspension and get your Shopping Ads running again.
Google thinks you're a scammer (you're not)
It is very hard to know that a store is scamming people until someone actually reports it. Because of this, Google needed a way to identify scammers before they even scam.
Like with many of the suspended stores we help, only an extremely small percentage are actually doing something bad. Most have just been innocently caught up in Google’s algorithm by accident.
We’ve audited dozens of stores and identified over 87 mistakes across suspended stores that Google checks when reviewing an account. Get these mistakes fixed and you can appeal your suspension and get back advertising on Google Shopping.
To help you get unsuspended, we've created:
