How to fix: Image not crawlable due to robots.txt

The site's robots.txt blocks Googlebot-image from fetching product images.

Image issues come from URLs that don't load, file formats Google doesn't accept (only JPEG/PNG/GIF/BMP/TIFF/WebP up to a size limit), images smaller than the minimum size, or images that violate Google's content rules (text overlays, watermarks, generic placeholders).

1. Verify the image_link URL loads in a private/incognito browser session.
2. Check image dimensions: at least 100×100 px (non-apparel) or 250×250 px (apparel). Aim for 800×800+ for best quality.
3. Remove any promotional text, watermarks, retailer logos, or call-out badges from the image.
4. Use unobstructed product-only photography for the main image. Lifestyle shots can go in additional_image_link.
5. Re-upload the feed; image changes propagate within 24–48 hours.

• Hosting images on a CDN that auto-serves WebP — some merchant feeds need the .jpg variant explicitly
• Submitting images that are visually identical to a stock-photo source — Google may flag as generic
