| 00:01:23 | 00:01:27 | products from your |

| 00:01:42 | 00:01:44 | regarding the one-on-one google ads |
| 00:01:43 | 00:01:46 | mentoring |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | i've started to see more success with my |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | students getting their merchant center |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:51 | accounts approved |
| 00:01:49 | 00:01:53 | if they go within their homes take |
| 00:01:51 | 00:01:55 | photos of items within their home |
| 00:01:53 | 00:01:57 | and then upload those to their shopify |
| 00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | store as if they were selling it |
| 00:01:57 | 00:02:00 | rather than going on aliexpress rather |
| 00:01:59 | 00:02:02 | than going on ebay |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | to directly add to their store like you |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:05 | normally would and this is one of the |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:06 | biggest game changers i've personally |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | notiked and |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:10 | all you have to do here is basically go |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:12 | around your house if you see a chair |
| 00:02:10 | 00:02:14 | somewhere or if you see a painting or |
| 00:02:12 | 00:02:14 | whatever that you see within your own |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:16 | home |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | which is not really a branded product |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:20 | you can put it on your shopify store by |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:21 | taking custom photos meaning photos with |
| 00:02:20 | 00:02:22 | your phone |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:24 | and uploading them directly onto your |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:26 | shopify store and no this does not mean |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:27 | that you have to become a professional |
| 00:02:26 | 00:02:29 | photographer or hire somebody |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:31 | to take photos for you simply lay it |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:33 | down on a flat surface on a plain |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:35 | background and upload the photo and the |
| 00:02:33 | 00:02:37 | product to your website as if you were |
| 00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | selling it i just recently had a call |
| 00:02:37 | 00:02:40 | with a mentoring student today who was |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:42 | able to actually get their merchant |
| 00:02:40 | 00:02:42 | center approved and their google ads are |
| 00:02:42 | 00:02:44 | kind of approved |
| 00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | through this method and there's other |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:48 | students as well who have been able to |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | achieve this with custom photos and |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:51 | custom products so |
| 00:02:50 | 00:02:53 | simply go within your home look around |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:55 | for products and put them |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | on your store it can literally be a rock |
| 00:02:55 | 00:02:58 | as long as you take good photos of that |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:00 | raw give it a fancy name |
| 00:02:58 | 00:03:02 | it should be good to go as long as it is |
| 00:03:00 | 00:03:04 | not a branded product |
| 00:03:02 | 00:03:05 | but in addition to that when it comes to |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | actually writing the descriptions |
| 00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | for these products and by the way when i |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:11 | say products i mean at about |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:13 | five to 15 different products of these |
| 00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | kind to your shopify store for best |
| 00:03:13 | 00:03:16 | chances of getting approved |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | for the descriptions for these products |
| 00:03:16 | 00:03:19 | first of all you want to write |
| 00:03:18 | 00:03:21 | a normal description maybe a hundred |
| 00:03:19 | 00:03:23 | word description describing the product |
| 00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | maybe just add specifications |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:26 | or something like that but at the very |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | end add these do |
| 00:03:26 | 00:03:30 | two sections for every single product |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:31 | first things first our guarantee section |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:33 | this should tok about some kind of |
| 00:03:31 | 00:03:34 | guarantee which you are offering your |
| 00:03:33 | 00:03:36 | customers |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | number two offer the shipping times and |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:38 | in this case i recommend putting in that |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:40 | you |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:42 | do deliver within two to ten business |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:44 | days of course we're not really going to |
| 00:03:42 | 00:03:46 | be selling these products but for the |
| 00:03:44 | 00:03:47 | purpose of getting our merchant tenor |
| 00:03:46 | 00:03:49 | of getting our google ads account |
| 00:03:47 | 00:03:51 | approved we do need to write two to ten |
| 00:03:49 | 00:03:52 | business days but that is tip number one |
| 00:03:51 | 00:03:54 | and that could really |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:56 | change your results that you're getting |
| 00:03:54 | 00:03:58 | with your approval for the merchant |
| 00:03:56 | 00:04:00 | center let's move on to tip number two |
| 00:03:58 | 00:04:02 | and that is related to the policy pages |
| 00:04:00 | 00:04:05 | this is one of the most overlooked |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:07 | section of uh of any shopify store and |
| 00:04:05 | 00:04:09 | this is also one of the main reasons |
| 00:04:07 | 00:04:11 | why a lot of people get suspended with |
| 00:04:09 | 00:04:12 | google ads or google merchant center |
| 00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | and that is because they have not |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:16 | properly set up their policy pages |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:18 | you want to know that all policy pages |
| 00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | need to have the same data |
| 00:04:18 | 00:04:22 | and all of that data needs to be edited |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | what do i mean by this exactly |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | if you say the shipping time is 2 to 10 |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:26 | business days on your product |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:28 | description |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:30 | it should be saying two to ten |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:31 | businesses on the shipping policy it |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:33 | should say the same thing on the return |
| 00:04:31 | 00:04:35 | policy or wherever else |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:37 | you decide to mention that if on one |
| 00:04:35 | 00:04:38 | page it says two to ten on another test |
| 00:04:37 | 00:04:39 | seven to fifteen |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | that is going to be known as |
| 00:04:39 | 00:04:44 | misrepresentation that is an easy way to |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:45 | not get approved for the google merchant |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:47 | center account so that is how |
| 00:04:45 | 00:04:49 | you kind of avoid that basically edit |
| 00:04:47 | 00:04:51 | the policy pages and make sure the |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:53 | information is fully matching on every |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:54 | single page but in addition |
| 00:04:53 | 00:04:56 | a lot of these policy pages actually |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:58 | have special brackets where you're |
| 00:04:56 | 00:04:59 | allowed to go in and edit that |
| 00:04:58 | 00:05:01 | information and |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | actually shopify requires that you go in |
| 00:05:01 | 00:05:04 | and edit that information maybe add in |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:05 | your store's url |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:07 | or add in your store's name or any other |
| 00:05:05 | 00:05:08 | information so what you want to do is |
| 00:05:07 | 00:05:10 | read |
| 00:05:08 | 00:05:12 | these policy pages word for word line |
| 00:05:10 | 00:05:12 | for line and make sure that all of the |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:14 | information |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:16 | is correctly provided all of the |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:18 | information where it needs to be edited |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:20 | is actually edited otherwise you're just |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | going to not get approved for the google |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | merchant center account and again |
| 00:05:22 | 00:05:25 | this was the second biggest game changer |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:27 | that i personally notiked to getting |
| 00:05:25 | 00:05:29 | more merchant center accounts approved |
| 00:05:27 | 00:05:31 | let's move on to tip number three and |
| 00:05:29 | 00:05:33 | that is the ways of communication |
| 00:05:31 | 00:05:35 | that you provide back in the day when |
| 00:05:33 | 00:05:36 | shopify was easy when google ads was |
| 00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | easy |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:40 | all you really needed was a contact us |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:40 | page with an email address and that |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:42 | contact |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | us form and that was basically good for |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:46 | all advertising platforms |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:48 | nowadays if you have just that you're |
| 00:05:46 | 00:05:49 | most likely not going to be even |
| 00:05:48 | 00:05:50 | approved for the google merchant center |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:52 | account |
| 00:05:50 | 00:05:54 | or for google ads and even in facebook |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | ads case it may cause you problems later |
| 00:05:54 | 00:05:58 | on down the line so |
| 00:05:55 | 00:06:00 | here is what i recommend not only should |
| 00:05:58 | 00:06:02 | you have a valid email address on file |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | on your website mentioned on multiple |
| 00:06:02 | 00:06:06 | pages but preferably you should also |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:07 | have a phone number |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:08 | and this doesn't mean you have to |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:10 | provide your personal phone number you |
| 00:06:08 | 00:06:11 | can use free applications like |
| 00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | googlevoice.com |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:16 | i use a paid one called openphone.com |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:17 | and no open phone does not sponsor me |
| 00:06:16 | 00:06:19 | for this is this what i personally use |
| 00:06:17 | 00:06:21 | and what i have personally found results |
| 00:06:19 | 00:06:22 | with but having a phone number does |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:24 | wonders because not only does it help |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | you stand out of the crowd |
| 00:06:24 | 00:06:27 | but it also proves your trustworthiness |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:29 | in google's eyes |
| 00:06:27 | 00:06:30 | which is exactly what we want so make |
| 00:06:29 | 00:06:32 | sure to have a phone number along with |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:33 | an email address mentioned on multiple |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:34 | pages |
| 00:06:33 | 00:06:36 | and the third one if you really want to |
| 00:06:34 | 00:06:38 | go above and beyond is to |
| 00:06:36 | 00:06:40 | have a physical address on your website |
| 00:06:38 | 00:06:41 | now this doesn't mean again that you put |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:43 | your personal |
| 00:06:41 | 00:06:44 | physical address where you live but you |
| 00:06:43 | 00:06:46 | can buy one |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:47 | physical address online or you can have |
| 00:06:46 | 00:06:49 | a po box address |
| 00:06:47 | 00:06:51 | which you provide and all of these work |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:52 | but this is just an extra step i don't |
| 00:06:51 | 00:06:54 | really do this personally |
| 00:06:52 | 00:06:55 | but just in case if you want to do it |
| 00:06:54 | 00:06:57 | feel free to do that that can only |
| 00:06:55 | 00:06:58 | increase your chances |
| 00:06:57 | 00:07:00 | of getting approved but this brings me |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:01 | to the fourth tip |
| 00:07:00 | 00:07:03 | on my list and this is a very short and |
| 00:07:01 | 00:07:04 | simple tip it's basically related to |
| 00:07:03 | 00:07:07 | social media |
| 00:07:04 | 00:07:08 | nowadays having a social media presence |
| 00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | is extremely important |
| 00:07:08 | 00:07:12 | and if you already have a facebook page |
| 00:07:10 | 00:07:14 | set up an instagram page set up |
| 00:07:12 | 00:07:16 | properly but also with a few followers |
| 00:07:14 | 00:07:18 | it's going to do wonders with getting |
| 00:07:16 | 00:07:19 | your merch antenna account approved |
| 00:07:18 | 00:07:21 | now keep in mind that the merchant |
| 00:07:19 | 00:07:23 | center approval process |
| 00:07:21 | 00:07:24 | is not done by a real human it's done by |
| 00:07:23 | 00:07:27 | the algorithm and by a bot |
| 00:07:24 | 00:07:29 | but even in that case if the links are |
| 00:07:27 | 00:07:30 | present on your website and maybe you |
| 00:07:29 | 00:07:33 | have posted a few products on your |
| 00:07:30 | 00:07:35 | social media pages directly linking back |
| 00:07:33 | 00:07:37 | to your website that could be counted as |
| 00:07:35 | 00:07:38 | a back link and google is going to be |
| 00:07:37 | 00:07:40 | able to crawl through that |
| 00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | is going to be able to note that down |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:43 | and that can only benefit you |
| 00:07:42 | 00:07:45 | with getting your merchant center |
| 00:07:43 | 00:07:46 | account approved so what i recommend is |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:47 | having social media channels set up |
| 00:07:46 | 00:07:49 | properly |
| 00:07:47 | 00:07:50 | but in addition post a few things on |
| 00:07:49 | 00:07:51 | there make sure you have a few followers |
| 00:07:50 | 00:07:52 | on there |
| 00:07:51 | 00:07:54 | you can ask your friends or family |
| 00:07:52 | 00:07:55 | members to follow or you can even buy |
| 00:07:54 | 00:07:58 | followers maybe |
| 00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | even 50 to 100 it doesn't really matter |
| 00:07:58 | 00:08:01 | the main reason why we're doing this |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | proof to google has that we are a legit |
| 00:08:01 | 00:08:03 | and verified business we're not just |
| 00:08:02 | 00:08:05 | somebody |
| 00:08:03 | 00:08:06 | who's in here to scam our customers and |
| 00:08:05 | 00:08:08 | that is exactly |
| 00:08:06 | 00:08:10 | what google wants and that is exactly |
| 00:08:08 | 00:08:12 | why the rules have become so strict |
| 00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | for a lot of us dropshippers so that's |
| 00:08:12 | 00:08:15 | tip number four have an active social |
| 00:08:14 | 00:08:17 | media presence and at least have a few |
| 00:08:15 | 00:08:18 | followers on there but |
| 00:08:17 | 00:08:20 | this brings me to the final tip that i |
| 00:08:18 | 00:08:22 | have for you guys and that is |
| 00:08:20 | 00:08:24 | related to the shipping and the general |
| 00:08:22 | 00:08:27 | settings when it comes to the merchant |
| 00:08:24 | 00:08:29 | center and google ad and shopify itself |
| 00:08:27 | 00:08:30 | you want to make sure that all of the |
| 00:08:29 | 00:08:32 | settings across the board |
| 00:08:30 | 00:08:34 | are the exact same so when you're |
| 00:08:32 | 00:08:36 | signing up for a merchant center account |
| 00:08:34 | 00:08:38 | you put one address in make sure that is |
| 00:08:36 | 00:08:40 | the same address used for the google ads |
| 00:08:38 | 00:08:42 | account as well as your shopify store |
| 00:08:40 | 00:08:44 | if you have one address on the merchant |
| 00:08:42 | 00:08:46 | center another one on the shopify store |
| 00:08:44 | 00:08:47 | that can be counted as misrepresentation |
| 00:08:46 | 00:08:48 | and that can actually cause you more |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:50 | problems because |
| 00:08:48 | 00:08:51 | that is going to be a little bit |
| 00:08:50 | 00:08:52 | suspicious to google as to why you have |
| 00:08:51 | 00:08:54 | two different accounts |
| 00:08:52 | 00:08:56 | when you're using both of these for the |
| 00:08:54 | 00:08:58 | same purpose so in order to avoid that |
| 00:08:56 | 00:08:59 | always make sure to have the same |
| 00:08:58 | 00:09:01 | settings throughout all of these |
| 00:08:59 | 00:09:02 | different platforms but in addition |
| 00:09:01 | 00:09:05 | when it comes to setting up stuff like |
| 00:09:02 | 00:09:06 | shipping settings or general information |
| 00:09:05 | 00:09:08 | that you need to sign up for a merchant |
| 00:09:06 | 00:09:09 | center account or a google ads account |
| 00:09:08 | 00:09:11 | or a shopify store |
| 00:09:09 | 00:09:12 | make sure all of that matches for |
| 00:09:11 | 00:09:14 | instance one of the easiest ways to get |
| 00:09:12 | 00:09:16 | suspended how on the merchant center is |
| 00:09:14 | 00:09:18 | to not have accurate shipping settings |
| 00:09:16 | 00:09:20 | and then when google crawls through your |
| 00:09:18 | 00:09:22 | website it notikes one shipping setting |
| 00:09:20 | 00:09:23 | but then on your merchant center it says |
| 00:09:22 | 00:09:25 | something completely different and that |
| 00:09:23 | 00:09:27 | is a cause of misrepresentation because |
| 00:09:25 | 00:09:28 | your shipping settings are not properly |
| 00:09:27 | 00:09:30 | set up they're both saying something |
| 00:09:28 | 00:09:32 | else and that is an easy way |
| 00:09:30 | 00:09:33 | to get suspended so make sure not just |
| 00:09:32 | 00:09:35 | shipping but generally |
| 00:09:33 | 00:09:37 | all of the settings match all of them |
| 00:09:35 | 00:09:38 | are the same but this is my top five |
| 00:09:37 | 00:09:40 | tips for you guys |
| 00:09:38 | 00:09:42 | in order to find better success of |
| 00:09:40 | 00:09:43 | getting your merchant center |
