Submit an image that contains this product

On this page

Why this issue is happening

The image that you’ve submitted for either the image link [image_link] or the additional image link [additional_image_link] attribute does not appear to be relevant to your product.


How to fix your issue

To fix this issue, make sure each product has a primary image that shows the product advertised. The image must not be a generic or placeholder image. Products with irrelevant images will remain disapproved and won't be shown in Shopping ads until you've updated the images.

The quickest way to update your images is to change the URL provided for the image link [image_link] or the additional image link [additional_image_link] attribute. If you keep the URL the same and change the content, this may lead to a longer time before your products are updated. You can force a faster fetch of the image by changing the image URL.
