Why does Google disapprove my feeds?
As stated in its Editorial Guidelines and Program Policies:
Google reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time without notice for any reason.
Why would Google do this?
Here are just a quick digest of just a few reasons we’ve discovered which can prevent your product(s) from appearing in Google Product Search. Of course there are many more, and we encourage you to read Google’s documentation on this. The examples below represent the most popular reasons your product submission to Google Product Search may be declined. We used our won client’s experience when creating this list. So here it comes (in no particular order or priority):
Possible reasons my product feed is disapproved by Google Product Search
- No product title
- No product description
- Duplicate content (same product descriptions, same product URLs)
- Promotional wording in product title or descriptions, i.e. “SHIPS FREE ” or “Free Shipping” (Intecca 3.0 now filters most of these out for our clients before submitting their products to Google)
- All CAPS in product titles and/or descriptions
- Stop words in descriptions or titles, i.e counterfeit, illegal
- Missing required fields (our service makes sure this does not happen)
- Invalid filed format (ditto here – our service always makes sure this does not happen)
