Add the Google channel in Settings and Rabbot reads Google Merchant Center's own verdicts on your products once a day on paid plans.

What the Google channel is for

If you sell through Google Shopping ads or free listings, Google reviews your product feed and can reject individual products or your whole catalogue. A rejection often shows up as lost sales before anyone on your team notices. The Google channel in Rabbot exists to close that gap.

Adding it

Open Settings, find the Google card, and choose Connect. Your plan decides how many channels you can run at once: Starter covers one, Growth covers up to three, and Pro covers every channel, current and future. If your plan has no room left, the card says so before you click, with a See plans link.

The Google channel takes one slot and covers both Google Merchant Center and Google Search Console under the same connection. Google Search Console covers the Search Console side.

What it reads

On paid plans, Rabbot connects to Google Merchant Center and notifies you when Google disapproves a product. It reads Merchant Center’s own verdicts on your products once a day: products Google disapproved, products Google demoted, and items still in review. A disapproval opens as a critical finding, and a demotion or an item in review opens as a warning. These are Google’s own decisions, not an estimate from Rabbot.

On Free, Rabbot runs its own day-zero feed cross-check at install, a deterministic check that needs no channel connection. Connecting a channel needs Starter or above: on Free, the card in Settings shows See plans. The daily reading starts on Starter.

Where Google’s verdicts show up

A disapproval reaches you the same day Rabbot reads it: one email on every plan, plus a Slack post on paid plans with Slack set up. A demotion or an item still in review is a warning, emailed on paid plans. Every verdict appears in your dashboard and weekly digest, and your agent can read them over MCP. Each one names the product, what Google decided, and what to do next.

The cross-check beside it

Rabbot’s own feed cross-check is a separate layer. It compares the product data your feeds are built from with what your live storefront shows (price, availability, required identifiers such as barcodes, and missing or empty product data), and raises a gap as disapproval risk before Google reviews the product. What feed monitoring is explains both layers, and Feed alerts and disapproval risk covers how cross-check findings reach you.

Switching or dropping the channel

On Starter and Growth you can change which channels fill your slots once every 30 days: choose Connect on the card for the channel you want, and Rabbot moves the allowance across. Reconnecting the channel you held most recently never counts against that. Pro covers every channel at once, so it never runs into the rule. Switching which feed channel Rabbot watches covers the rules.

When Google is no longer a channel Rabbot watches, its daily reading of Google’s verdicts stops. The Google findings and history you already have stay in the app to read, and your storefront monitoring carries on as normal.

If you are not on Google Shopping yet

There is nothing to add. The Google card in Settings only matters once you are listing products there. Everything else Rabbot watches, your pages, your feed structure, keeps running regardless.
