Prepare the item facts and website destination before making a profile change. “GMB products” is an older search phrase for this question. Use the current Business Profile documentation for the actual workflow. This is a planning brief, not a claim that an editor is enabled on your account. ## Check the offering and available workflow Google describes the product editor as suitable for local stores selling physical goods. Its documentation also directs service businesses to the services editor. [Google product-editor guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9124203?hl=en). Write down what the item is, how a customer obtains it, and whether your profile shows the relevant editor. Do not force a service into a physical-product description merely to create another profile card. Google says certain categories may have an option to showcase services, with suggested or custom service entries. [Google services-editor guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9455399?hl=en). Have the profile owner confirm the available workflow before briefing an update. Keep any missing control marked unresolved rather than treating it as an account defect. ## Prepare an item record before editing Use this proposed preparation table: | Item detail | Evidence to gather | | --- | --- | | Public name | Current approved product or service name | | Description | Actual scope, contents, or limitations | | Image | Authorized image of the correct item | | Price, if used | Approved amount, currency, and applicable terms | | Destination | Current page for that exact offering | | Review owner | Person responsible for changes | Do not infer current stock from an old photograph or price sheet. Omit a detail until the responsible person confirms it. For a service, use an approved service description rather than an inventory-style availability claim. Keep a quote request distinct from a purchased appointment. ## Check the linked website page Open the planned destination and compare its item name, description, price if shown, and next step with the working record. Resolve conflicting statements before publishing another version. Use the [store pickup guide](/articles/retail-store-pickup-website-google-check) when the destination concerns collection. State only the collection arrangement the store supports. Use the [price mismatch guide](/articles/merchant-center-price-mismatch-store-website) for a separate Merchant Center mismatch question. Do not treat every product-related tool as one interchangeable listing system. ## Account for a linked Merchant Center Google explains that a linked Merchant Center account can change the destination of the Edit Products action. [Google product-editor account note, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9124203?hl=en). Ask the owner to identify the controlling account and review access through their own account. Keep credentials and recovery information out of the page brief. Record which system contains the accepted item record and who updates it. Avoid assigning a routine website editor responsibility for an account they cannot access. ## Review the published result after an authorized change Prepare a checklist for the account owner: correct business, correct item, supported description, appropriate image, and a destination that opens the intended page. Keep Google product policy review separate from the copy check. Google's product-editor documentation says submitted products must follow its linked shopping policy. [Google product requirements, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9124203?hl=en).
