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.
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.
Suspension emails name a policy, not the problem. These are the issues behind most of the suspensions I see.
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.
Prices, stock or shipping costs in your product feed that don’t match the website. Google treats that as misleading shoppers.
Unverified identity, mismatched addresses, or a website that doesn’t clearly show who’s behind the business.
A Google Ads suspension often triggered by links to a previously suspended account, shared payment details, or workarounds for disapproved ads.
Billing details that don’t match the account, or payment changes Google flags as risky.
Healthcare, supplements and other restricted categories need certification or very careful wording. More on healthcare.
Send me the suspension notice and your site. I’ll tell you honestly what’s likely behind it and whether it’s fixable.
I fix the real problem, whether that’s site policies, business info, feed data, ad content or account setup.
A clear, evidence-based review request, submitted only once everything is genuinely fixed.
Checks to stop it happening again, and a clean account ready to grow.
No hourly billing and no surprises. You’ll know the cost and the likely odds before anything starts.
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.
"Jake is hands down the best PPC person I've worked with. He's very knowledgeable and he took on our very tricky account and really turned it around."

"Jake has been exceptional for our PPC needs. He's grown our accounts across multiple platforms, boosting revenue while maintaining a healthy ROAS."

"Jake is fantastic! His knowledge of PPC, covering Google, Meta and TikTok, is excellent, and he's a great guy to work with."

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.
Book a free call →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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
