When Merchant Center Feed price, inventory, or product identity disagrees with the page, which product truth chain should we fix first this week? Compare the same SKU across page, structured data, feed, preview, and source field before deciding whether to restore traffic.
This is not a survey of every ecommerce specialty. It gives your team one weekly review rhythm for deciding what to handle first across product, inventory, conversion, ads, support, and profit.
Lesson outline
- 1Lock the weekly SKU scope
- 2Open Merchant Center Diagnostics / Needs attention

Public core framework
- Choose the SKU scope for this week: high-value SKUs, hero SKUs, backup SKUs, and low-priority cleanup SKUs. Do not start from the entire catalog or Merchant Center issues become unbounded work.
- Record issue type, affected item count, first detected time, issue detail path, and current product preview. The screenshot should show whether this is a blocker, limited eligibility, or an optimization suggestion.
