Every vertical hits different GMC failure modes. Our 87-point engine knows which checks matter most for each.
Every check is mapped to a real GMC policy section. Here's what our engine looks for, broken out by category.
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini leave invisible HTML signatures in product copy. We scan for 11 distinct fingerprints across data attributes, class names and model identifiers.
Shop info, pages, policies, products, collections, redirects, domain, contact, returns, shipping, legal pages, pricing, content consistency, trigger words, competitor benchmark, mobile UX.
Real-browser simulation via Playwright: tap-target sizing, CLS, viewport meta, navigation findability, product page completeness, hero presence, and contact pathways.
Numbers above come straight from our codebase — every check is open to inspection.
Everything Shopify store owners ask about GMC suspensions and compliance.
The most common reasons include: AI-generated product descriptions with invisible HTML artifacts that Google's crawler flags, mismatched business address between your GMC account and website footer, duplicate policy pages (two Contact Us or Privacy pages), broken return/refund policy links, geographic shipping inconsistencies (shipping policy mentions countries you don't actually ship to), and draft products leaking into your Shopping feed.
GMC Auditor checks all 87 known policy violation points and tells you exactly what's failing.
Step 1: Run an audit to identify every violation — guessing wastes time. Step 2: Fix critical issues first: remove AI content artifacts, repair broken policy page links, resolve duplicate pages. Step 3: Use auto-fix to apply the changes. Step 4: Request a review in your GMC account only after all issues are resolved — partial fixes get rejected.
GMC Auditor's auto-fix handles the 8 most common violations in one click.
After fixing all violations and submitting a review request, automated reviews typically take 3–7 business days. Manual reviews can take up to 14 days. The critical factor is fixing all violations before requesting review — Google will reject the appeal if any issues remain, and you'll need to wait again.
Misrepresentation is one of the most common GMC suspension reasons. It means Google found something inconsistent between your product listings, your website, and your actual business. Common causes: your shipping policy says "worldwide shipping" but you only ship to one country, your return window in your GMC feed doesn't match your return policy page, or your business address in GMC doesn't match what's on your website.
Yes — the audit is free. You get 5 full 87-point audits per store, no account or credit card required. The auto-fix feature (which applies fixes directly to your Shopify store) is a one-time $49 session. Additional audit runs beyond 5 are $9 for another 5 runs.
No. Your Admin API token is stored only in your browser session and is never written to our servers or database. It's used only to read your store data during the audit. When your session ends, the token is gone.
AI-generated content artifacts are invisible HTML attributes embedded in product descriptions when store owners copy text from ChatGPT or Gemini into Shopify's rich text editor. Attributes like data-sourcepos, data-start, and ChatGPT-specific CSS classes are invisible to human visitors but detectable by Google's crawler, which flags them as signals of bulk AI-generated content — a Google Merchant Center policy violation. GMC Auditor scans all product descriptions for these artifacts and removes them with one click.
Yes — in fact, proactive auditing is the best way to prevent suspension. GMC Auditor's 87-point scan identifies policy violations before Google does, giving you time to fix issues before they trigger a suspension. Many Shopify stores have violations they're not aware of, especially AI content artifacts from pasting ChatGPT descriptions and geographic shipping inconsistencies in policy pages.
A Google Merchant Center warning means Google has detected a policy issue and is giving you time to fix it — usually 7–28 days — before products are disapproved or the account is suspended. A suspension means your products are already removed from Google Shopping. Both require fixing the underlying policy violations, but suspensions additionally require submitting a formal review request. GMC Auditor addresses both by identifying and fixing the root cause violations.
GMC Auditor is currently built for Shopify, which has the highest rate of GMC suspensions due to its rich text editor creating AI content artifacts. Support for WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Magento is planned for Q3 2026. If you run a non-Shopify store, join the waitlist at support@gmcauditor.com.
A Google Merchant Center compliance audit is a systematic review of a Shopify store against Google's Merchant Center policies to identify violations that could cause product disapprovals or account suspension. GMC Auditor performs an 87-point automated compliance audit covering policy pages, product listings, mobile UX, trust signals, shipping consistency, redirect health, and AI-generated content detection — delivering results in under 60 seconds.
Fixing a Google Merchant Center suspension costs nothing if you fix issues manually. Using GMC Auditor, the audit is free (5 runs per store, no credit card needed). The auto-fix feature — which applies all 8 common fixes directly to your Shopify store in one click — is a one-time $49 USD fee. This compares to Shopify agencies that typically charge $500–$2,000 to diagnose and fix GMC suspensions.
