What Is Gearloose (Google Ads)?

Gearloose is the name of an internal tool used by the Google Shopping team. If you’ve ever been in contact with Google Shopping support, you might hear them mention that a product was flagged in the “Gearloose tool.” This can feel mysterious and frustrating—especially when you don’t have access to the same systems Google uses to judge your products.

Who Has Access to Gearloose?

Gearloose is not available to advertisers, agencies, or the public. Instead, Google provides access to select third-party partners, such as Teleperformance contractors, who work under Google’s supervision and use @google.com email addresses. These partners use Gearloose to identify policy issues with products in Google Merchant Center. Unfortunately, this means when your products are flagged, you’re often left in the dark about why—and your Merchant Center account could be suspended or restricted without a clear path to resolution.

Why Gearloose Matters for Advertisers

If your products are showing up in Gearloose, it usually means Google has detected a policy violation. That could include: misrepresentation in product data, listing prohibited products, inaccurate pricing or availability, or violations of Google Shopping Ads policies. Because you can’t see Gearloose yourself, the information you receive from Google support may feel vague or incomplete. That’s where working with a specialized agency can make all the difference.
