critical link attribute does not match landing page

Link attribute doesn't match landing page

What this means

The URL in your link attribute resolves to a different product than the one in the feed. Google blocks the listing as misrepresentation.

Why this happens

URL slug logic broken: the feed exports old slugs while the storefront has migrated to new ones, sending shoppers to the wrong product or a 404.

How to fix it

  1. Spot-check 20 random feed entries — open the link URL, confirm the page matches the title.
  2. Fix slug-mapping in the feed export script.
  3. Set up 301 redirects from old to new URLs as a backstop.
