why central exists

Disapprovals happen when the feed and the landing page disagree.

The Merchant Center error you've seen before. Title too long. GTIN missing. Wattage value doesn't match the landing page. Promotional language in the title. Central catches the same checks Google runs — in your record, before submission.

central fixes this

Catch every Google rule before the feed leaves your record.

Title hype, price drift, missing identifiers, category mapping, image dimensions — all enforced in the canonical record, so the Merchant Center diagnostics report stays empty.

Fix with Central
required attributes · scorecard

Every Google field, filled and validated.

The 12 required Google Merchant attributes — plus the common recommended ones — checked against your verified record, with the source that backed each value and the readiness state per field.

Title length, GTIN format, image resolution, category taxonomy, identifier_exists, condition, availability — every check Google runs at submission time, run first in Central.

What you control: identifiers, URLs, prices, stock, brand language. What Central drafts: meaningful titles, descriptions, highlights, attributes, buyer guidance.

how the feed gets built

Four steps from shop URL to approved feed.

Same shape as the Merchant Center submission flow you already know — but every check runs in Central first, against the verified record, before Google ever sees it.

1scan

Read what you already have.

Paste a shop URL, upload a CSV, or connect a catalog. Central maps your fields to Google's expected attributes and shows which ones are filled and which are missing.

sourceshop URL · 142 SKUs

2validate

Run Google's checks first.

Title length, GTIN format, image resolution, category taxonomy, promotional language — every Merchant Center rule runs locally. Disapprovals surface here, not at submission.

passing38 / 424 to fix
3adapt

Generate the missing copy.

Channel Studio drafts titles, descriptions, highlights, and attributes from verified facts. Merchant values stay in control for prices, stock, identifiers, URLs.

Export XML or CSV.

Merchant Center-ready XML or CSV. Schedule re-exports, push by URL, or sync directly. Review states ride along, so unsupported claims never enter the feed.

One sparse listing in. One Merchant Center XML out.

The same Le Creuset SKU. Sparse import on the left. The Google Merchant Center XML feed entry on the right — required fields filled, characters counted, identifiers validated, one claim held.

Frequently asked

Can Central publish to Google Merchant Center?

+

Central prepares and publishes Google Merchant Center output from verified product records. Platform review, account settings, and destination policies still apply — Google approves the feed.

What can I start with?

+

Start with a shop URL, product URLs, a CSV, supplier files, or existing catalog data. Central uses what you already have and shows what is missing for Google Merchant Center.

How are missing attributes handled?

+

Central drafts copy from verified facts. Unsupported claims stay hidden or marked for review until evidence or a merchant decision supports them.

Which fields stay merchant-controlled?

+

Identifiers, URLs, prices, stock, availability, account settings, shipping values, and other commercial invariants. Central validates and formats them while keeping merchant-sourced values intact.

Can the same record support other channels?

+

Yes. The same verified product record supports Google MC, Bing MC, ChatGPT Shopping, Perplexity, plus custom CSV / XML / JSON feeds, storefront copy, product widgets, Schema.org, and JSON-LD.

How do I know what's ready?

+

The output view shows required fields, source evidence, confidence, conflicts, blocked claims, and review decisions before anything ships. The Merchant Center diagnostics report stays empty.
