How to Fix: Products or Services Not Showing
#

Items you added are saved in your dashboard but not visible publicly on your profile.

Step-by-Step Solution
#

Step 1: Verify Eligibility
#

Products and services features are only available for certain categories:

  • Products: Retail stores, restaurants, some services
  • Services: Service-based businesses (lawyers, contractors, etc.)
  • Check if your category qualifies

Step 2: Check Product/Service Compliance
#

Items must follow guidelines:

  • No prohibited items (weapons, drugs, adult content)
  • Accurate pricing
  • Clear descriptions
  • Appropriate for your business category
  • No misleading information

Step 3: Add Items Correctly
#

For Services:

  1. Click Services in your dashboard
  2. Click Add service
  3. Select category or create custom
  4. Add description (required)
  5. Add price or price range
  6. Save

For Products:

  1. Click Products in dashboard
  2. Click Add product
  3. Upload product photo
  4. Add name and description
  5. Add price
  6. Select category
  7. Save

Step 4: Wait for Review
#

  • New items take 24-72 hours to appear
  • Google reviews items for policy compliance
  • Check back after waiting period

Step 5: Ensure Complete Information
#

Items are more likely to show if they have:

  • High-quality photos (for products)
  • Detailed descriptions
  • Accurate pricing
  • Relevant categories
  • All required fields filled

Step 6: Troubleshoot If Still Not Showing
#

Try these fixes:

  • Remove and re-add the item
  • Try different photos
  • Shorten or revise description
  • Check for policy violations
  • Contact support if persistent

Step 7: Check Category Eligibility
#

Some categories don’t support products/services:

  • If you don’t see Products or Services in your dashboard
  • Your category may not qualify
  • Consider changing to a more specific category

Common Issues
#

Products:

  • Poor quality photos → Replace with clear, well-lit images
  • Missing prices → Add accurate pricing
  • Inappropriate category → Use correct product category

Services:

  • Vague descriptions → Be specific about what’s included
