Enduclo GMC Misrepresentation Recovery: 725 Products Approved
Enduclo, a multi-language store selling in Europe, kept getting products approved in Google Merchant Center, then removed for Misrepresentation once ads started. Logical Gecko aligned shipping and policies across every language, stabilized the feed and added products in stages. The account now has 725 products approved, 0 disapproved and 0 limited.
The client
Enduclo
Enduclo (ENDU) is a multi-language ecommerce store selling men's clothing internationally. Because the site ran in several languages, every policy, shipping message, and trust signal had to be consistent across locales. Even small mismatches were enough to re-trigger Misrepresentation in Google Merchant Center.

- Issue
- GMC Misrepresentation
- Symptoms
- Approved then removed after ads start
- Pressure
- Important sales period approaching
- Goal
- Stable approval and safe Shopping rollout
The challenge
Approved, then blocked again, every single time
Products would get approved in Merchant Center, but as soon as ads went live, they were removed again. Past fixes did not hold. The real issue was that Google did not fully trust the information across the website, policies, product feed, and Merchant Center setup, especially across multiple language versions.
- Products approved, then removed after ads started
- Repeated Misrepresentation flag in GMC
- Shipping details not aligned between website and GMC
- Multiple language versions with inconsistent policy info
- Product feed needing cleanup before scaling
- Time pressure due to an important sales period
- High risk of another suspension on aggressive uploads
- Past fixes did not hold, issue kept returning
Our strategy
Cleanup, alignment, and controlled scaling
Not another quick appeal. We rebuilt trust across the store and Merchant Center, then scaled products carefully to keep the account stable.
- Step 01
Full compliance cleanup
Reviewed business info, contact, footer, shipping, returns, product feed, country targeting, and free listings setup.
- Step 02
Shipping and policy alignment
Aligned GMC shipping with the actual store policy. Started with one country to reduce risk and keep the account stable.
- Step 03
Controlled product scaling
Stabilized the account with a small product set first, then gradually added more once approval held.
What we fixed
A full compliance reset across the store

Misrepresentation review closed by Google
After the cleanup and alignment work, Google confirmed the Misrepresentation issue no longer appeared on the Merchant Center account. From there, we moved into stabilization and controlled scaling.
The result
725 products approved, 0 disapproved, 0 limited
After the compliance work, the account reached a clean, stable state. The product feed was fully accepted and the account was linked with Google Ads, ready for Shopping campaigns.

Key lessons
What this case teaches other store owners
Our Google Merchant Center misrepresentation fix guide covers the same checks step by step. To keep an approved account stable while you scale, see Merchant Center setup and management or our misrepresentation fix service.
Misrepresentation is a trust problem
It is rarely one mistake. It is small inconsistencies across site, feed, and Merchant Center stacking up.
Multi-language stores need extra care
Every locale must show the same policies, shipping, and contact info. One mismatch is enough to trigger a review.
Shipping mismatches are a top trigger
If the website and GMC do not show the same delivery, returns, and costs, the account becomes unstable.
Approval is step one, stability is the goal
Rushing uploads or sudden country expansion can re-trigger Misrepresentation right after approval.
Controlled scaling protects the account
Stabilize first, then add products and countries gradually. Speed is not the safest option in GMC.
