Video Proof Becomes Mandatory for Google Merchant Reinstatements

A mobile screen displays a mandatory form for business video verification, requiring video proof for Google Merchant reinstatements. Sections include uploading a video, confirming content, and blue "Back" and "Submit" buttons at the bottom.

Google is tightening Merchant Center rules as suspensions are rising due to misrepresentation, missing trust signals, and dropshipping abuse. Now, reinstatement may require a 3–5-minute unedited video showing your business, storage, and products.

Merchants should:

  • Fix all feed, site, and policy issues before requesting review.
  • Prepare the required video carefully (storefront, signage, inventory).
  • Be transparent. Misrepresentation reduces chances of reinstatement.

Google’s new process raises the bar for trust and authenticity. Merchants who invest in compliance and credibility will be better positioned long-term.
