Local Feed Partnership Sync Causing Duplicate Listings and Preventing Products from Showing on Googl

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a serious issue with my Google Merchant Center setup after syncing thousands of products from Shopify. I accidentally activated the Google Business Profile connection, which created a new "Local Feed partnership" feed in my Merchant Center. This feed has duplicated my listings, and unfortunately, it seems to be causing errors that prevent my other products from displaying on Google entirely.

Here's what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Turned off Google Business Profile Connection: I disabled the Google Business Profile connection in Shopify about 24 hours ago, assuming it would automatically remove the Local Feed partnership and its duplicate listings in the Merchant Center.

  2. Problem Persists: Despite turning it off, the Local Feed listings are still active in my Merchant Center, each one showing errors. This duplication seems to be causing the "Fix all setup and policy issues that prevent your products from showing on Google" error, which blocks all my products from appearing in Google search results.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any tips on how to effectively remove the Local Feed duplicates and resolve these errors? I would appreciate any guidance on restoring my products’ visibility on Google.

Thank you in advance for your help!

This is an accepted solution.

Update, I found (and cannot again see anywhere) a link to feed sources, and deleted Local Feed, now they're all removed, and all that's left is requesting a fix for "policy" trust issues, which I'm guessing is because it's a new shop.

I'll update more if there's any more local issue. For anyone else, you can get to the page by going to

I still don't know where I saw that link, but thank goodness I did.
