Fixing "Misrepresentation" Suspensions in Merchant Center

Demo content: review and edit before promoting this page.

Misrepresentation is Google's catch-all trust policy. It rarely names the exact problem, which is why many stores fail several appeals in a row. Fixing it properly is the most common job in my Google Merchant Center specialist work.

What Google checks

• Clear business name, address and contact details
• Returns, refund, shipping and privacy policies
• Honest pricing, no hidden fees at checkout
• Secure checkout and working payment methods
• Realistic claims and discounts
