Terry Ecom — Google won’t tell you which check failed. These are the checks I teach in GMC Help — I wrote this, so when they change, the scan does too.

How it works

1

Enter your store URL

Paste your Shopify store link and hit scan. Typical scan is about a minute. The free scan shows counts and categories; members see the pages.

2

Check 70+ storefront signals

GMC Scout checks 70+ technical, policy and trust signals commonly associated with Google Merchant Center approval, misrepresentation reviews and store-quality assessments. It counts every issue it finds, by category and severity.

3

Join to see the pages

The free scan counts every issue by category. Members see the exact pages, the evidence, and how to fix each one, on every report. Google alone decides approval — a clean scan does not guarantee it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about GMC Scout

What does GMC Scout check?
GMC Scout crawls the Shopify storefront for policy pages (privacy, returns, shipping, terms), contact-information consistency, product data, broken links (404s), and domain age. GMC Scout checks 70+ technical, policy and trust signals commonly associated with Google Merchant Center approval, misrepresentation reviews and store-quality assessments. It is not a copy of Google’s private enforcement systems.
Is the first scan really free?
Yes. You get one free scan every 24 hours on any Shopify store — no credit card needed. The free scan shows how many issues were found and what category each falls into. Members see every report in full for €29 a month, with unlimited scans (fair use) — cancel anytime.
What do I get as a member?
Every issue named, the evidence behind it, the exact URLs affected, step-by-step fix guidance, and a dated PDF you can use as supporting notes for a Merchant Center appeal — on every report, for every store you scan. Scans are unlimited under fair use (your own stores and your clients' stores, one scan at a time), and white-label branding for client PDFs is included. €29 a month, cancel anytime.
Can I re-scan after I fix the issues?
Yes. Members can re-scan as often as they need — fixing and verifying is the same job as finding. On the free tier you get one scan every 24 hours, with counts and categories.
Does GMC Scout only work with Shopify?
Yes, GMC Scout is built specifically for Shopify stores. It uses Shopify’s product data, collection structure, and store layout to run compliance checks that generic tools cannot match — including product data validation, empty collections, and policy page detection.
How long does a scan take?
Half of all scans finish inside a minute and nine in ten inside three minutes. A large catalogue can take longer, because every URL we find gets its own status check. You’ll see a live count of pages as it runs, and you can close the tab — we email the report when it’s ready.
How do I cancel?
One click in your dashboard. There is no save offer and no form: the membership runs to the end of the month you paid for and is not charged again.
Is GMC Scout affiliated with Google?
GMC Scout is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Google. Google alone makes all Merchant Center approval and enforcement decisions.
