I keep getting my GMC account suspended for " website needs improvement " , but as far as I can tell , everything should be up to spec.
The website matches the registered domain
No placeholder text or images
Has no broken links ON THE SITE ( google search console shows 404 errors though )
the products details are synced 1:1 , so they match
has my business info including address and phone number
and i have the policies in the footer
I can't seem to figure it out for the life of me , and google won't give me a straight answer, and ontop of that I had $200 stolen on fiverr from someone who "fixed it" for a week, just for the suspension to come back without touching it.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated , if it helps , my site is www.forgedinfilament.shop
Make sure your product images, are of the product itself only, no added background. The image must show what you sell only.
With a quick scan this is the only issue I can see.
Make sure to follow all other policies listed below:

That totally makes sense! Would explain why I cant find the issue ( because I never really looked at my bad photos as an issue 😛 ) , is google okay with AI backgrounds as long as they don't have other items in them?
If you use AI, then make sure to keep the AI metadata in the image. That is the only rule. So be very careful if you minimize the images, that it does not strip out the data.
Sounds good! Do you mind doing another quick check on my site and let me know if you think the new pictures are appropriate before I go ahead and submit for a re-evaluation. www.forgedinfilament.shop
Checking a website is a big task, I recommend using the links I shared to find more issues.
Did changing the images get you approved by Google?
It didn't , I just hired someone from Fiverr, I can report back what they ended up changing when the jobs done.
A few things I've already noticed are:
Removed 50% off whole store banner
Removed ALL sale pricing ( no $300 $150 SALE tags, no " SALE " tags on pictures " )
Formatted footer different from stock
