# Merchant Center fix checklist

## 1. Evidence
- [ ] Exact text of every notice
- [ ] Screenshot of Products > Needs attention
- [ ] Per issue: products affected, 2 examples, source of cause (feed / page / images / policy)
- [ ] Label each line: fact / likely / unknown

## 2. Fix in order of impact
- [ ] Account-level issues
- [ ] Data vs website: price, availability, variants
- [ ] Spec errors: GTIN/MPN, brand, category, images, apparel attributes
- [ ] Policy and pages: landing page, shipping, returns, contact, description consistency

## 3. Approval
- [ ] Access by user / staff / partner account, no passwords
- [ ] Owner approves each change; each change is logged

## 4. Verify
- [ ] Request a website check after price fixes (Google may take up to 12 hours)
- [ ] Follow the status after Google reviews
- [ ] Send a before / after log: issue, products affected, change, status now

Note: nobody can promise approval. Google decides.
