- After you’ve claimed your website URL, you can upload product listings.
Ways you might lose your claim
- If another authorised owner of the website in question successfully verifies and claims the website URL, you will lose the claim and will be notified by email. We’ll let you know who the clashing account is (you can also find this information in your Google Webmaster tools account) in order to resolve the situation yourself, where possible. If unsuccessful, you can choose to either verify and claim a different URL or contact us.
- If you lose your ‘verified’ status in Google Webmaster Tools, you will lose the claim. You can lose the ‘verified’ status because the identifying Meta tag or HTML file has been removed from the website. If you’ve lost your ‘verified’ status in Google Webmaster tools, you will need to verify and claim your website URL again.
- If you choose to verify and claim a different URL in Google Merchant Center, you will lose the claim for your previously verified and claimed website URL.
Multi-client accounts
Multi-client account owners are required to verify and claim a Website URL for the parent account. Typically, the parent multi-client account will need to verify and claim the top-level domain, e.g. http://example.com.
After the parent multi-client account has verified and claimed a URL, each sub-account can automatically inherit the claim and can submit product listings for any sub-host or path under the claimed URL tree. Alternatively, each sub-account can also choose to verify and claim a completely different website URL instead.
