When you create your account, you need to add your business's name. Customers will find this name in your ads and free product listings.
Note: Changing your business name might cause temporary performance fluctuations in free listings and Shopping ads.
To make sure your business name works correctly in all situations, follow these guidelines:
- Use a short name for your business name. You could use your business name or website name. If the name is too long, we'll show your website link.
- Don't include additional text or suffixes such as "Inc.," "Co.," or "GmbH."
- Don't include promotional text such as phone numbers, marketing messages, or sale announcements.
- Don't use repeated and unnecessary punctuation, capitalization, or symbols. For instance, don't use emoticons, all capital letters, emoji, or copyright/trademark symbols (©, ™) when referring to your business name. Learn more about Editorial & professional requirements .
- Don't include any personally identifiable information (PII) such as full names or email addresses.
- Don't use offensive or inappropriate language. Learn more about offensive or inappropriate content policy.
- Use clear and professional language. If you make changes to your business name, they'll show up the next time you submit your product data.
- Don't use underscores ( "_" ) or symbols in business names.
Keep in mind
If your business name contains any errors or doesn't comply with our editorial and professional requirements
, we may show your online store URL instead. You'll also find a notification about this in Merchant Center.
