Useful Patch Merchant Center Audit Draft: example-shop-test
Important boundary
This is an audit draft, not a guarantee of approval or reinstatement. Google decides review outcomes. The goal is to identify likely issue patterns, safe next steps, and changes that should not be guessed.

Draft confidence: medium
Blockers / missing evidence:
- Policy/account-level issue needs sanity review before customer delivery
Ranked audit checks
1. Review readiness and evidence trail
There is a clear change log before requesting another Google review.
Screenshots and examples exist for the main fixes made.
The next review request should reference specific changes, not vague compliance claims.
If the account is still inconsistent, delay review rather than burning another attempt.
2. Trust, identity, and policy consistency
Business/contact details are visible, consistent, and plausible across the site.
Returns, shipping, privacy, and terms pages are present and easy to find.
Checkout path does not introduce surprise costs, hidden terms, or broken trust signals.
Product claims are supportable and do not look exaggerated or unsupported.
Evidence to request before final delivery
Merchant Center diagnostics screenshot showing the issue text and affected products.
3-5 affected product URLs or SKUs.
Feed URL/export if available.
Screenshot or notes showing what was changed before the last review request.
Contact, returns, shipping, privacy, and terms page URLs where relevant.
Do not do
Do not invent GTINs, MPNs, brands, or compliance evidence.
Do not rewrite medical, financial, safety, or regulated claims without proof.
Do not request another review just because a page exists; request only after material cleanup.
Do not bulk-edit live product data until the repeated issue pattern is clear.
Recommended next step
Do a manual sanity review of trust/policy evidence before sending the customer-facing report. Do not rush another review request until account-level consistency has been checked.
Commercial fit
Likely fit for audit plus possible done-for-you rescue if the store has clear evidence and fixable consistency gaps. Monitoring may fit after cleanup.
