Google Shopping DMCA reporting

Filing Google Shopping Ads DMCA requests

Like all major online platforms Google Shopping accepts Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) submissions.

It is worth noting that infringements found on Google Shopping will also be promoting the product on a website or marketplace. By removing the ad from Google Shopping you reduce the products exposure but product listing will still exist. You can contact the website or marketplace selling the items to have the listing completely removed.

IP Moat makes filing DMCA requests, patent and trademark infringement easy.

What to do if you find fake Google Shopping ads?

If you find counterfeits or infringing products being promoted by Google Shopping or Google Shopping scam listings, you can report them directly to the Google Shopping platform. You will also likely need to remove the actual product listing by contacting the website or marketplace where the item is being sold.

Are Google Shopping ads a scam?

No, Google Shopping advertisements are not inherently scams, but it’s important to be cautious the advertisements can be used to promote third-party products, leading to varying quality and authenticity. Some sellers may engage in tactics such as selling counterfeit or fake goods or providing misleading descriptions.

Google Shopping makes it easy for new websites to quickly gain exposure. This can be a great tool for new businesses but this can also allow illegitimate sites to promote fake goods.
