Which is a reason why Annie’s Google Merchant Center account would get suspended?
Correct Answer
A) Her landing pages lead to error messages or non-existent pages
Key takeaways
Broken or missing landing pages can lead to account suspension.
Selling used goods is fine when condition is declared honestly.
Feed updates every ten days are well within the 30-day requirement.
Why is this the correct answer?
Landing pages that error or do not exist break the basic promise of the listing: the shopper clicks an advertised product and arrives nowhere. Google treats that as a serious problem because it affects every click, so persistent broken destinations can escalate from item disapprovals to account suspension. The other options describe things that are either entirely allowed or merely suboptimal.
Why are the other options wrong?
B) She is only selling used products
Selling used products is permitted, provided the condition attribute declares it accurately.
C) Her website doesn’t have a mobile version
There is no requirement for a separate mobile site. A poor mobile experience hurts performance but is not a suspension reason.
D) She’s only been updating her data feeds every 10 days
Updating every ten days is comfortably inside the 30-day expiry window, so the feed stays active.
Frequently asked questions about this topic
What should I do if my account is suspended?
Read the specific reason in Merchant Center, fix the underlying issue across the whole catalogue rather than the flagged samples, then request a review. Repeated failed reviews make reinstatement harder, so it is worth being thorough before the first request.
How do I catch broken landing pages early?
Merchant Center Diagnostics flags crawl and destination errors, and crawling your own product URLs on a schedule catches them before Google does. Out-of-stock products that return a 404 rather than a proper page are a frequent cause.
