Google Merchant Center: Pending website check
Google is re-checking your product page
What Google's message means
Google is waiting to crawl the product page again, usually after you fixed an issue or requested a website check.
Why it matters
The product may not show until the check is done. If the page still has the problem, the disapproval comes back.
Common causes on Shopify
- You requested a website check after fixing a product issue.
- Google is re-checking pages after a change in your data.
How to fix it
- 1Make sure the product URL is correct and the page loads for anyone, with no password or login.
- 2Avoid editing the same product again while the check is running.
- 3Check back on the Needs attention page after a few days.
How to stop it coming back
- Fix all issues on a product before requesting a check, so one check is enough.
Common questions
- Can I speed it up?
- Requesting a website check after fixing an issue speeds up the reapproval, according to Google. Otherwise Google reviews automatically later.
