Fix Website Needs Improvement In Google Merchant Center

On 27th May 2021, Google has announced that merchants are required to meet a certain level of professional and editorial standards on their website.

Google is protecting users from poor shopping experiences, such as incomplete websites, confusing or inaccurate product information, broken links or category pages that are empty on the website, etc.

Google requires all merchants to follow a basic level of requirements. If your website does not have basic requirements, you will see a suspension warning: Website needs improvement.
