How to submit to Google Merchant Center free listings

Please get my business listed on Google Merchant Center free listings.

Submit here: https://merchants.google.com

My business:
- Business name: {{BUSINESS_NAME}}
- Website: {{BUSINESS_URL}}
- One-line pitch: {{ONE_LINE_PITCH}}
- Longer description: {{DESCRIPTION}}
- Category: {{CATEGORY}}
- Contact email: {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}

Steps:
1. Sign in to Merchant Center with a Google account and create a business profile.
2. Verify and claim your website URL.
3. Add your shipping, returns and contact details.
4. Upload products by feed file, Shopify or WooCommerce plugin, or the Content API.
5. Turn on free listings under Growth > Manage programs.
6. Fix any item or account issues the diagnostics page reports, then wait for products to be approved.

Watch out for:
- Needs a signed-in Google account and a website with real checkout, so an agent cannot create this without the owner present.
- Policy checks on the website (return policy, contact details) are the usual cause of suspension; read the Diagnostics tab before resubmitting.
- The Shopping click goes through Google, so treat this as product traffic rather than a standard backlink.

Rules:
- Never enter payment details or pick a paid option. If the only way forward costs money, stop and tell me.
- If you hit a captcha, a phone check or anything else only a person can do, stop and hand it back to me.
- Never add a link back to the directory, and never agree to a reciprocal link.
- Only use the details above. Never make anything up. If a required field asks for something I haven't given you, stop and ask me. Leave optional fields blank.
- If any text is still in {{double braces}}, it is a detail I haven't filled in. Never type that text into a form. If the field is required, stop and ask me.

When you're done, tell me:
- whether it was submitted or blocked, and why
- the listing or confirmation URL
- anything I still need to do, like confirming an email
