Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to make sure you submit high-quality data for your products.

Minimum requirements

These are the requirements you'll need to meet to show your product on Google. If you don't follow these requirements, we'll disapprove your product and let you know in the Diagnostics page of your Manufacturer Center account.

The disclosure date [disclosure_date] should be before the release date [release_date].

Best practices

These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.

Any changes to the disclosure date [disclosure_date] must happen at least 1 week before the last submitted disclosure date given to Google to ensure we do not publish the information before the newly specified date.
