Google feed evidence tool

Estimate the most likely Shopify to GMC mismatch.

Enter rough evidence from the same date range. The output is a free triage snapshot, not a guarantee or platform verdict.

Products missing in Google?Send store URL for a 1-page Feed/GMC owner map.

Email and store URL are enough to start. The optional issue can use the current free tool result, and private Merchant Center CSVs can wait for the reply thread.

No CSV upload firstEmail + store URL start the thread.

Keep affected-products CSVs, screenshots, and exports for the reply.

1-page owner mapWe separate source, feed app, GMC, and public proof.

The first review decides what evidence is missing before bulk edits.

Where to fix nextShopify product data, feed app, Merchant Center rule, or page proof.

The answer should be a repair owner, not another vague audit score.

Email + store URL -> owner map

10-second request. We reply with the first owner to check.

EmailStore URLPlain domains are fine; we add https:// before creating the request.

You receive: first fix owner, why it is likely, and the next evidence to attach.

Sample replyFirst owner: Google & YouTube app channel inclusion.

Why: GMC item count trails Shopify before GTIN edits. Next proof: affected-products CSV plus the feed app mapping screenshot.

No CSV, card, or call first. The reply thread asks only for needed proof.

Private files wait until we confirm the owner-map path.

No files in the first request.Browser validation only needs email and store URL.

We check the public store first, then ask only for the CSVs or screenshots needed to confirm the owner map.

Product count mismatch

The Shopify catalog count and Google Merchant Center item count are far enough apart that source inclusion, app sync, feed rules, or variants should be checked before item-level fixes.

The result has enough Feed/GMC risk to decide the repair owner from evidence before bulk edits: product source, feed app, Merchant Center rule, GCR, or public product proof.

If the tool shows a count gap, identifier rows, GCR context, or unclear feed ownership, prefill the reviewed request and send email + store URL before sharing private CSVs.

Google Channel Truth Snapshot handoff

Use this handoff when product count, affected-products CSV rows, feed app mapping, GCR status, and public product URLs do not agree.

Attach before review

Shopify product or variant export with channel inclusion, SKU, barcode, vendor or brand, price, availability, and product URL.
Merchant Center diagnostics screenshot, affected-products CSV, feed name, item count, destination, and last fetch time.
Google & YouTube app or feed app mapping screenshot, supplemental feed or rule notes, GCR status, and sample public product URLs.

Snapshot decision

The reviewed snapshot should decide whether the next owner is Shopify product data, Google & YouTube app, a feed app, Merchant Center rules, GCR checkout evidence, public product proof, or a focused suspension evidence pack.

Open Google Channel Truth Snapshot sample

Worked example: free feed output -> reviewed snapshot

Use this when the free tool says Product count mismatch or Identifier field repair, but you still do not know whether to edit Shopify, a feed app, Merchant Center rules, GCR evidence, or suspension appeal proof.

Free tool output used

Free tool result: High priority Product count mismatch with a 578-item gap between Shopify and Merchant Center.
Secondary signal: 214 affected rows include missing or invalid GTIN, but identifier cleanup should wait until the count path is explained.
Context signal: GCR is missing after a checkout upgrade, so this may be a Google channel evidence issue rather than only a feed field issue.

Reviewed snapshot should decide

Decide whether the next owner is Shopify channel inclusion, Google & YouTube app state, feed app mapping, Merchant Center diagnostics, identifier rows, GCR checkout evidence, or suspension timeline proof.
Return a one-page repair map with the first owner to check, the evidence conflict, and the next attachment list.
Escalate to a focused feed or suspension evidence pack only if the reviewed snapshot shows a cross-system repair.

Attach before requesting review

Shopify product or variant CSV with channel inclusion, SKU, barcode, vendor or brand, price, availability, and product URL.
Merchant Center affected-products CSV plus diagnostics screenshot showing item count, issue names, destination, and last fetch time.
Google & YouTube app or feed app mapping screenshot, GCR status screenshot, two sample product URLs, and any warning, support, or appeal date.

Price boundary

Use the free tool when the issue is obvious. Use the $79 reviewed snapshot when the owner is still unclear. Move to a focused feed or suspension evidence pack only when the reviewed map shows a cross-system repair.

Request a reviewed Feed/GMC Truth Snapshot

Send the free tool summary and minimum case context on this page first, instead of opening an email draft. You only need an email, store URL, issue type, and short evidence summary to start. Do not paste private customer data here; attach CSV exports or screenshots only after we confirm the review thread.

Paid snapshot click means the next step should feel smaller.Email, store URL, issue type, and one sentence are enough.

CSV exports, screenshots, feed names, and date ranges can wait for the reply thread.

Email and store URL are required.
Issue type can be approximate if you are unsure.
Evidence summary can be one sentence from the free tool output.
Date range, market, feed name, and Merchant Center context can wait until the reply thread.

This copies the current mismatch result into the evidence summary, so the first request can start with a concrete Feed/GMC blocker instead of a blank note.

CSV and diagnostics example

Prepare the affected-products rows before requesting review.

Use these field groups to line up Shopify product data, Merchant Center diagnostics, feed app rows, and Google Customer Reviews evidence before changing rules or identifiers.

GMC affected-products CSV

Item ID or offer_id exactly as Merchant Center exports it.
Issue title, issue severity, destination, country, and affected attribute.
Current value, suggested value if shown, and sample product URL.
Diagnostics export timestamp and whether the issue is item-level or account-level.

Shopify product export

Handle, title, variant SKU, variant barcode, vendor or brand.
Variant price, compare-at price, inventory, image URL, and product URL.
Google product category, custom product flag, MPN, GTIN, and identifier_exists source.
Last product edit time and whether the Google & YouTube app or another feed app owns the row.

GMC diagnostics screenshot

Account or MCA name, feed name, content API source, and last fetch time.
Total items, active items, disapproved items, limited-performance items, and affected rows.
Countries, destinations, policy or identifier issue names, and sample item drilldown.
GCR status, survey module status, checkout trigger evidence, and merchant trust notes if relevant.

Fix-location decision

Shopify product data when barcode, vendor, product URL, price, or availability is wrong.
Feed app or supplemental feed when transformed fields differ from Shopify source rows.
Merchant Center feed rule when the visible source is right but GMC receives a different value.
Public product or policy page when GMC needs visible evidence for trust, shipping, returns, or reviews.

Reviewed snapshot sample

Preview the reviewed Google Truth Snapshot before sharing private CSVs.

A reviewed snapshot should not be a vague audit upsell. Start with a 1-page Feed/GMC owner map: email, store URL, destination country, closest issue type, and a short evidence summary. Private Merchant Center CSVs and screenshots can wait until the review thread is confirmed.

Products missing in Google?Send store URL for a 1-page Feed/GMC owner map.

Send email, store URL, destination country, and the closest issue type.
Paste a short summary of product count gaps, affected rows, GTIN or brand issues, GCR status, or suspension context.
Use the reply thread for private Merchant Center CSVs, Shopify exports, feed app screenshots, and product URLs.

Do not paste customer data, order exports, or private account screenshots into the first form. The first request is only to qualify the reviewed Feed/GMC Truth Snapshot.

Sample snapshot finding

Shopify shows 1,847 product or variant rows while Merchant Center shows 1,269 active items.
214 affected rows include missing GTIN and invalid GTIN warnings, but the count gap should be explained before identifier cleanup.
The reviewed map would separate Shopify channel inclusion, feed app ownership, Merchant Center diagnostics, and identifier row cleanup.

Evidence to attach

Shopify product or variant CSV with SKU, barcode, vendor or brand, status, and Google channel inclusion.
Merchant Center affected-products CSV, diagnostics screenshot, feed name, item count, destination, and last fetch time.
Feed app mapping screenshot plus sample product URLs where public price, availability, brand, and identifiers can be verified.

What the snapshot will not promise

No Google Merchant Center approval, suspension recovery, Shopping ads serving, ranking, or GCR activation is guaranteed.
The output is a one-page repair map and evidence gap review, not a replacement for Google, Shopify, feed app, or policy support.
A focused audit is recommended only when the evidence crosses Shopify, feed app, Merchant Center, public product pages, or suspension history.
