Google Merchant Center: Disapproved by policy

Error message
Disapproved due to policy violation

What's happening

Generic policy disapproval. Common triggers: prohibited products (firearms, tobacco, recreational drugs), copyrighted material, dangerous goods without proper labeling, misleading title/description (e.g. "free" when the product isn't).

Affected fields:titledescription

Manual fix

Review the specific reason in Merchant Center diagnostics. Edit the product page, title, description, or images to comply. Submit for re-review.

Fix it with Emberfeed

Field rules let you remove problematic words from titles and descriptions across the entire catalog at once. E.g. strip "free" from any title where it would imply free-with-purchase rather than no-cost.

Catch Google Merchant Center feed issues before they do.

Emberfeed checks every product against Google Merchant Center's required fields and format rules, and most problems come with a fix: a field rule for the whole feed or an override for one product. It also measures your product photos, while rendering them and in the background after each refresh, and flags the ones that are too small for Google Merchant Center.

Emberfeed is a hosted tool: it imports your existing product feed, renders every product image through one template and serves a new feed URL for Meta, Google, TikTok, Heureka, Zboží.cz and Glami. It costs 25 € per feed per month, and the first 3 months are free on one feed up to 1,000 products.
