A notice is not a diagnosis

A Merchant Center notice that says “Misrepresentation” does not point at one faulty page. Google looks at several sources when it reviews an account, and not all of them are visible from outside the account.

A review of the public website can document issues and inconsistencies. It cannot reconstruct the internal reason for a suspension. Save the exact wording of the notice first and check whether it applies to the account or to individual products.

Start with information you can verify

Compare the business details on the contact page, the legal notice and every other page that repeats them. Then check whether the statements about products, shipping and returns agree with each other.

Work with the real facts about the business. An invented address or an unsupported quality claim does not replace missing evidence. It only adds another statement that has to be defended.

Record a source for every finding

A finding you can act on contains the URL, the statement you observed and the date you observed it. A conflict needs both sources, not only the one you intend to change.

After that, list any missing business details needed for the correction and every location that needs to change. In that order you avoid replacing one inconsistent statement with another.

Keep open questions visible

Account settings, supplier evidence and anything else you cannot reach stay open review items. Without evidence they should not be marked as correct or as incorrect.

After a correction, read the affected live pages again and treat a review request as a separate step. A report without confirmed issues is not a promise that the account will be approved.
