I have done some check on my website but i am not sure whether the website is ready for google to approve my appeal.
Can someone help to diagnoise my website and point out any potential issue taht i might have on my website?
My website url is : 24kmaplesupply.com
Hi @DEMIANBUAN !
There are a lot of possible causes that might cause this. Some of them are:
No full contact details page linked from the footer (email, phone number, address, contact form)
No valid checkout
Not having returns and refund, delivery, privacy policy and terms of service pages or link
Listed prohibited products
Listed out of stock products in your store
No content or blogs
Have multiples websites
No order fulfilled or product reviews
I highly suggest that you double check Google Merchant policies and you can also reach out to Google Merchant support team so you can further ask for an example of policy violations that might cause this issue.
Diagnosing a website is a big task, however here are some examples of issues that I recommend you resolve after a quick look.

Hi, there! Thanks for reaching out there.
Generally, I'd suggest focusing to enhance the user experience of your website by making it more user-friendly, ensuring clear navigation, and providing accurate product information. Also, by addressing any technical issues on your website that may have contributed to the suspension. This includes broken links, slow loading times, or other usability issues. Your website looks great so providing additional context on the suspension reasons would be helpful to look into it further.
Additionally, have a look through Common reasons for account warnings and suspensions article.
