• Policy Compliance & Account Health: Proactively monitor and resolve Google Ads and Google Merchant Center policy violations, product issue diagnostics, feed optimization, and item disapprovals (e.g., restricted substances, pricing discrepancies) to avoid account suspensions and ensure continuous campaign performance.
