FIX Merchant Center & Google Ads suspensions

Account suspended?
Let’s get you back.

A Merchant Center or Google Ads suspension switches off your sales overnight, and Google’s emails rarely say what’s actually wrong. I find the real cause, fix it properly and handle the appeal, so you’re not stuck in a loop of rejected reviews.

Common causes

Google rarely tells you
the real reason.

Suspension emails name a policy, not the problem. These are the issues behind most of the suspensions I see.

01

Misrepresentation

The most common Merchant Center suspension and the least explained. Usually missing business details, unclear returns or shipping policies, or claims Google can’t verify.

02

Feed & site mismatches

Prices, stock or shipping costs in your product feed that don’t match the website. Google treats that as misleading shoppers.

03

Business verification

Unverified identity, mismatched addresses, or a website that doesn’t clearly show who’s behind the business.

04

Circumventing systems

A Google Ads suspension often triggered by links to a previously suspended account, shared payment details, or workarounds for disapproved ads.

05

Suspicious payments

Billing details that don’t match the account, or payment changes Google flags as risky.

06

Restricted products

Healthcare, supplements and other restricted categories need certification or very careful wording. More on healthcare.

Why not just keep appealing?

Each rejected review can add a waiting period before you’re allowed to try again, and every one tells Google the problem still isn’t fixed. Finding the actual cause first is the fastest route back.

Who you’ll work with

A Google Ads specialist,
not a template appeal.

I’ve spent eight years inside Google Ads and Merchant Center accounts, managing over £30M in spend across ecommerce, healthcare, SaaS and lead generation.

That means I know how Google’s policy systems behave in practice, not just what the help articles say. You get a proper diagnosis and fix from the person doing the work, not a copy-and-paste appeal from a call centre.

FAQ

Good questions.

Can you guarantee my account will be reinstated?

No one honestly can. Google makes the final decision, and anyone promising a guaranteed reinstatement is guessing. What I can promise is an honest assessment before you spend anything, a proper fix of the real issue, and a well-evidenced appeal. If I don't think your account is recoverable, I'll tell you on the free call.

How long does it take?

The fixes themselves usually take a few days. Google's review can then take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the type of suspension and how many reviews have already been requested.

Should I just open a new account instead?

Usually not. Opening a new account to get around a suspension is itself a policy violation ("circumventing systems") and can get every linked account suspended, including the new one. Fix the original account first.

I've already appealed and been rejected. Can you still help?

Often, yes. Repeated rejections usually mean the root cause hasn't been found yet. I'll work out what was missed before requesting another review, so you're not stuck in a loop of rejected appeals and cooldown periods.

What access will you need?

Access to Merchant Center and/or Google Ads, plus your website (or a developer contact). I'll explain exactly what's needed on the call, and nothing is changed without you knowing.

Which platforms do you work with?

Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress and most custom-built sites, across Merchant Center and Google Ads.
