Suspension reasons
What the notice means, and what usually causes it.
The reason Google gives you is a category, not a diagnosis. These pages cover what each category actually contains and how to narrow it down to the fault in your own shop.
-
Suspended for misrepresentation
Google's wording:
MisrepresentationThe broadest and most common suspension reason. It almost never means what merchants first assume it means.
-
Suspended for shipping and returns information
Google's wording:
Missing or inaccurate shipping and returns informationRarely a missing page. Almost always two pages that are both live and do not say the same thing.
-
Suspended for insufficient contact information
Google's wording:
Insufficient contact informationAlmost never 'this is missing'. Almost always 'this exists in two versions, and they do not match'.
-
Suspended over business identity
Google's wording:
Business identityRarely 'this is missing'. Almost always 'this exists in two versions, and they do not agree'.
-
Suspended for price mismatch
Google's wording:
Unavailable promotion / price mismatchThe most machine-provable cause there is. Google compared two numbers of yours and they were different.
-
Suspended for untrustworthy promotions
Google's wording:
Untrustworthy promotionsA promotion that cannot be honoured as advertised. Usually nobody decided to advertise it in the first place.
-
Suspended for restricted or prohibited products
Google's wording:
Restricted or prohibited productsThe one reason on this list where the honest answer is often that a technical audit is the wrong instrument.
