Fixing disapprovals for product data quality violations
To display your products on Google, you need to follow Google’s product data guidelines. Google requires that you provide accurate information about your products so that they can be displayed to the appropriate customers, such as those searching for key terms that are found in your product description or browsing a product category that your product belongs to. If you don't provide accurate information, then customers on Google might find your products through searches that are unrelated to what they're searching for. This means that customers are less likely to purchase your products, and can lead Google to stop showing your products to customers.
If your products have invalid or missing product data, then they don't display in free listings and Google Shopping ads or they display with limited performance, such as lower impressions and clicks.
If you receive notification of account warning, account suspension, or in preemptive item disapproval, then there are some actions you can take to resolve the issue. Review the guidance inFixing Merchant Center disapprovals for product data quality violations谷歌商业中心的帮助。
