How to fix: Unable to view store on desktop

Update your online store so that it can be viewed from desktop devices

In this article


Why this issue is happening

For one or more of your products, you submitted a landing page, via the link [link] attribute, that can't be accessed by Google and may not be accessible to Google users. To avoid a bad user experience, we disable products that have an unavailable landing page. These products will stop showing in ads and free listings until Google can access the landing page.

We routinely crawl your landing pages to ensure that they work properly.


How to fix the issue

To resolve this issue, identify and fix the error to make sure your landing page is accessible from any device, location, or browser. You can test your current configuration with the URL Inspection Tool. Make sure to select Desktop as the type of fetch.

If you need to update the product page link for any of your products, follow the steps below:

Fix products one by one directly in Merchant Center

Step 1 Go to Products in Merchant Center, then select the Needs attention tab.

Step 2 Use the filter icon above the table to find all products affected by your issue.

Step 3 Click on the title of the product you want to fix, then click Edit product.

Step 4 Update your product page link to a URL that can be accessed by Google.

Step 5 Select Save.

Fix multiple products at once

Step 1 Go to Products in Merchant Center, then select the Needs attention tab.

Step 2 Use the filter icon above the table to find all products affected by your issue.

Step 3 Select the Download icon to download a list (.csv) of all affected products for all issues or this particular issue.

Step 4 Cross reference the downloaded list with your uploaded product data, and ensure that for these products the URLs that you’ve submitted using the link [link] attribute lead to valid landing pages.

Step 5 Reupload your corrected product data to Merchant Center via your chosen upload method.


Next steps

After you fix the issue, you can ask for a website check to speed up the review and reapproval process. If you choose not to request a website check, an automatic review will still be performed at a later time.

It may take some time for your change to be reflected on the “Needs attention” page. This time allows us to verify that we can access the landing pages. If the issue is fixed, your products will start showing up in ads and free listings again.

If Google identifies that the issue still persists during the website check, you'll be notified on the "Product details" page under the "Needs attention" tab to fix the issue and resubmit for another check. After a successful check, the issue will no longer be listed on the "Needs attention" tab.

Note: Google may take up to 12 hours to review your website. During this period, you can't submit a new request.
