Why Merchant Center Matters
Merchant Center helps connect product or inventory data to Google advertising systems. If it is configured poorly, approved inconsistently, or left unattended, it can block or weaken the campaigns that depend on it.
Account readiness
Support the settings and setup needed for campaign use.
Website alignment
Match the site experience to the data being submitted.
Issue prevention
Catch mismatches, missing fields, and policy trouble before they eat budget.
