promotional_text_in_dataWarning

Additional or promotional info in title or description

Your product data contains marketing phrases instead of factual product information — things like "Free shipping", "Best price guarantee", or "30-day money back guarantee". Google wants titles and descriptions to describe the product itself; promotional messaging belongs elsewhere (e.g. Merchant Center promotions or shipping settings).

Common causes

  • ·Marketing claims appended to titles for visibility
  • ·Descriptions copied from landing pages that include shipping or guarantee messaging
  • ·Feed rules injecting promotional suffixes

How to fix it

  1. 01Remove promotional phrases from the title and description attributes — keep only what describes the product
  2. 02Move legitimate offers into the proper channels: shipping settings for free shipping, Merchant Center promotions for deals
  3. 03Fix affected items in 'Needs attention' or in your source data, re-upload, and allow 24–72 hours
