Stop burning ad budget showing products to people scrolling through memes. Google captures customers at the exact moment they have their credit cards out ready to buy.
Google algorithms enforce 47 strict trust and safety policies. If your Shopify store is missing even one requirement, your entire account will be flagged for Misrepresentation.
Must include a physical business address, official domain email (not generic Gmail), phone number, and operating hours in the footer and Contact page.
Unambiguous policy stating return window (e.g. 30 days), return address, return shipping fee responsibility, and refund timeframe. Zero vague wording.
Exact handling time, transit time, shipping carrier, and shipping costs must be listed on a dedicated page AND match your GMC shipping settings 100%.
Full checkout process must occur on your custom verified primary domain with active SSL encryption. No redirecting to third-party domains.
Payment logos displayed in the footer must match the actual payment gateways enabled in your Shopify checkout (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal).
Fake countdown timers, fake "15 people bought this 2 minutes ago" popup apps violate Google's Untrustworthy Promotions policy and must be removed.
Product microdata schema in your theme Liquid code must match your product variant prices, currency, availability, and SKU data without discrepancies.
Every product must have valid UPC/EAN barcodes or clean supplemental feed rules setting identifier_exists = FALSE for custom goods.
We will inspect your live theme and Merchant Center feed manually for free.
How we connect your Shopify store, configure product feeds, map categories, and ensure 100% item approval on Google Shopping.
We connect Shopify to your Google Merchant Center using Content API or direct custom XML/TSV feeds. We verify and claim your primary domain with TXT/HTML tags.
We map your entire product catalog to Google's official Google Product Category (GPC) hierarchy and structure product types to unlock maximum search visibility.
We build custom GMC supplemental feed rules to automatically inject missing GTINs, assign custom brand tags, optimize product titles for SEO, and set custom labels.
We force a feed refresh, resolve any transient attribute warnings, and monitor the account until 100% of SKUs are green and live on Google Shopping & Free Product Listings.
"Misrepresentation" is Google's most common and frustrating suspension. Automated appeals fail 99% of the time. We follow a strict 4-phase forensic recovery methodology to get your account reinstated.
We analyze your Diagnostics tab, previous rejection history, linked Google Ads account, domain WHOIS records, and crawler fetch logs to pinpoint the exact algorithmic trigger.
We rewrite all footer policies (Refund, Privacy, Terms, Shipping), fix contact forms, correct checkout discrepancies, remove fake timer widgets, and align business details with registry.
We update your Shopify Liquid schema markup, sync prices, fix currency formatting, map GTIN/MPN exemptions, and eliminate price mismatches between store and feed.
We compile a formatted compliance verification dossier and submit the appeal directly to Google's Trust & Safety review team for human verification and reinstatement.
Do NOT click the "Request Review" button until your store compliance errors are fixed. Talk to our specialist first.
Getting your products approved is only step one. We build granular Standard Shopping & PMax campaigns designed to maximize ROAS and eliminate wasted ad spend.
PMax ads often bid on junk, non-buyer search queries. We install master account-level negative keyword lists (blocking free, cheap, crack, DIY, jobs) so your budget only targets high-intent buyers.
Instead of dumping all products into one generic asset group, we segment your catalog by profit margins: Hero Best-Sellers (High tROAS), High-Margin products, and Clearance items.
We configure enhanced conversion tracking in Google Ads and GA4 to pass accurate purchase value back to Google's Smart Bidding algorithm, continually adjusting target ROAS weekly.
From custom Liquid theme engineering to Google Merchant compliance and ongoing monthly maintenance.
We connect your store, fix Misrepresentation suspensions, resolve GTIN/barcode errors, and guarantee 100% of your products are approved and live on Google Shopping.

Slow stores kill conversions. We clean out unused tracking scripts and zombie app assets, optimize images to WebP, minify CSS/JS, and guarantee a 90+ Mobile PageSpeed score.
Once products are approved, we set up high-intent Google Shopping and Performance Max campaigns with search term sculpting and negative keywords to scale at 4x+ ROAS.
A dedicated e-commerce developer at your fingertips. Daily GMC feed health monitoring, weekly product updates, continuous theme tweaks, and emergency support on WhatsApp.
