How to fix common image errors in Google Merchant Center (Generic image)
When you create a Google product feed, it is highly likely that you will face some kind of errors or warnings from Google. Don't worry, our team is here to guide you to fix them.
Errors: Errors indicate critical feed issues. These issues can lead to item disapproval, and prevent you from showing ads for the affected products. In some cases, errors might even result in account suspension.
Warnings: Warnings are far less serious than errors as they do not lead to item disapproval. However, they still negatively impact the performance of your product listing ads. If you leave them untouched for a long time, your products might be disapproved.
This issue happens because Google finds your image to be too generic. You must provide a main image that clearly shows the principal product being advertised by referring to Google's best practices and guidelines for images.
If you meet any issue while trying to fix these errors, do not hesitate to drop us a message in the live chat or email us at support@socialhead.io. We would love to help you out!
