Google promotions can no longer include dates in the title

What they said

“Redemption dates: Don’t include dates in any format.”

In plain English

Google has updated its rules for Merchant Center promotions. Promotion titles must not include redemption dates in any format; the dates go in the promotion's own date fields instead. The only exception is a short month name, such as "Jan".

Google Shopping will reject product images smaller than 500 x 500 pixels

From 31 January 2027, Google wants every product image in Merchant Center to be at least 500 x 500 pixels. Until then the old minimums still work: 100 x 100, or 250 x 250 for clothing. Google has been showing warnings on smaller images since July 2026.
