Incorrect product page URL

What Google requires

An absolute, verified, clean URL

The link is a single absolute URL beginning http:// or https://, on the domain you have verified and claimed in Merchant Center, encoded properly and under 2,000 characters. It points at the product's own page and carries no advertising placeholders: ValueTrack fields such as {ifmobile} and a hardcoded gclid belong in a tracking template, not the feed's link. Google reports a malformed one as Incorrect product page URL.

What Google does

The URL fails before the page is ever fetched

A link without a scheme, with spaces, or over the length limit fails validation immediately, so the item never gets the chance to be crawled. A ValueTrack placeholder that survived the export resolves to nothing and sends shoppers to a broken address.

How to fix it by hand

Repair the string, move tracking out of it

• Give every link an explicit https:// scheme on your verified domain, encode spaces, and keep it under 2,000 characters.
• Strip ValueTrack placeholders and any hardcoded gclid; put campaign tracking in the account's tracking template instead.
• Point the link at the product's own page, not a listing or a homepage.

What the scan does not check today: whether the page actually loads, redirects, or matches the product — that is a live-page check. FeedMender reads the URL string, it does not fetch it.
