The umbrella — how the individual checks connect.

What does Google Merchant Center mean by misrepresentation?

Misrepresentation is an umbrella, not a diagnosis. A missing policy page, an unsupported claim and a price contradiction are different faults, even when a notice gives them the same broad label. StoreVerifier lays the public evidence side by side so you can work on the page and sentence you can actually change.

Start here when the notice is vague. These guides explain the boundaries, the public checks and the account-side work that remains yours. Everything else in the Library deals with one narrower subject; this category is the map.

There is no magic first fix. Clear the strongest evidenced contradictions, keep a dated record, and leave anything the scan could not reach marked unknown. Boring, perhaps. Still better than guessing.

When the notice is the reason you are here, run the store through the Merchant Center misrepresentation checker before you request another review.
