Fix “Website Needs Improvement” Google Merchant Center Suspension
Google Merchant Center suspensions can happen for many reasons, but one common issue advertisers face is the “Website Needs Improvement” suspension.
This usually means Google has detected problems with your website’s functionality, content, or user experience.
In this video, StubGroup CEO John Horn walks through the most common issues that trigger this suspension and how to fix them.
Common causes include:
-Broken links or non-working buttons
-Popups blocking checkout on mobile
-Placeholder text like Lorem Ipsum
-Missing product images
-Missing policy pages (shipping, returns, contact info)
-Websites that don’t function properly across devices
If your website doesn’t work smoothly for users, Google may flag your Merchant Center account until the issues are resolved.
The key is to audit your website from the perspective of a customer and identify anything that looks broken, incomplete, or confusing.
And if Google flagged your website incorrectly, there IS a path forward.
