can not find the right google category finding for a bicycle degreaser.

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A merchant is struggling to find the correct Google product category for a bicycle cassette/chain degreaser, which is preventing them from resolving a misrepresentation issue with their account.

Attempted categories (all rejected):

  • Bicycle accessories
  • Degreasers in car parts
  • Solvents

Suggested solution:
Another user proposed: “Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Cycling > Bicycle Maintenance > Bicycle Cleaning Products”

Current status:
The original poster cannot locate this suggested category path in the official Google taxonomy (GB text version). The issue remains unresolved, with the merchant still unable to exit “misrepresentation jail.”

I’m a bit confused in getting the category for a bicycle cassette/chain degreaser. Bicycle accessories is not correct and degreasers in car parts not correct. Have tried solvents also, but still no joy. Have looked through the Google taxonomy i think GB text. Is stopping me getting out of the misrepresentation jail.

Thanks

Thanks for that, but can’t find that on the google taxonomy.
