Why merchant trust matters
Shopping systems need enough public evidence to understand what you sell, whether the offer is consistent, and whether shoppers can find material terms like shipping, returns, refunds, warranty, support, and contact paths.
Free merchant trust precheck
Free GMC Misrepresentation Precheck
Check whether public storefront pages expose the merchant trust signals Google Shopping and AI shopping systems need: policies, contact, product data, schema, price, stock, and proof.
What this cannot decide
This precheck cannot see private Merchant Center diagnostics or decide whether Google will approve a store. It only finds public-page signals worth fixing before a deeper audit or appeal workflow.
What the precheck scans
The tool starts with public crawl evidence, then groups findings into merchant trust buckets that can be reviewed before ordering a paid audit.

Free vs paid
The free result finds blockers. The paid audit turns them into a repair plan.
- Free precheck: public crawl, policy discovery, product/schema signals, and top blockers.
- Paid audit: screenshot-grade evidence, page-level notes, AI shopping readiness, and fix priorities.
- Fix Pack: schema, copy, FAQ, internal-link, and developer handoff recommendations.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this a Google Merchant Center verdict?
No. This is a public-page risk screen. It checks visible storefront evidence and does not access your Merchant Center account or guarantee approval.
Do I need to connect my Merchant Center account?
No. The free precheck uses public pages such as the homepage, product or collection candidates, robots.txt, sitemap, schema, policy links, and contact paths.
What does the paid audit add?
The paid audit adds screenshot-grade evidence, page-level notes, product and schema review, AI shopping readiness notes, and a prioritized repair plan.
Can this help with AI shopping visibility too?
Yes. AI shopping systems also need clear product facts, policies, contact paths, proof, and schema before they can confidently compare or recommend a store.
