Merchant Center misrepresentation suspension: ready to request a review?
The question: My Google Merchant Center account is suspended for misrepresentation. Can it be fixed, and am I ready to ask for a review?
Google treats misrepresentation as an egregious violation, and its policy says accounts are only reinstated in compelling circumstances. Whether yours will be is unknown, because Google doesn't publish success rates. What you can control is asking for a review only once everything on Google's own list is fixed. Tick each item as you go and this page tells you whether you're ready, and what happens next.

Your "what we changed" notes
Built only from the boxes you ticked. Add the specific pages and dates yourself before you use it, and don't claim anything you haven't done.
