In Merchant Center, use the multi-client account (MCA) home page to see a snapshot of aggregated multi-client account-level metrics, and a sub-account list with approval and disapproval metrics.
This article explains the benefits of the MCA home page and how you may use the data provided.

Benefits
- See a graphical overview of all sub-account metrics for the past 30 days.
- Use a paginated list of sub-accounts to view key metrics for specific sub-accounts.

How to use
The MCA overview page provides a high-level view of your sub-accounts' product data. On the bottom half of the page, you can view a paginated list of all sub-accounts, along with several key metrics. Sub-accounts are sorted by Merchant Center ID. Click on the sub-account name to navigate to that account. Note that this page shows sub-account metrics at a selected point in time.
Product issues
Marketplace-specific behaviour
If you operate a marketplace using a multi-seller account, policy violations by individual third-party sellers will be represented as specific product-level issues.
For example, you may see explicit issue titles such as 'Misrepresentation' or 'Content restriction: Counterfeit' on the Products > Needs attention page for all offers associated with the seller who has violated that policy.
This reporting method provides clearer visibility into which seller is affected and why, enabling you to initiate a review directly from the product.
This behaviour is specific to multi-seller marketplace accounts and does not apply to other MCA types.
Setup and policy issues
You can download a report with the relevant metrics for all sub-accounts. This section contains issues that affect an entire sub-account or an entire target country for a sub-account. This includes issues such as 'no linked Google Ads account' and 'no verified/claimed home page'.
Tip
You may use the MCA home page to explore historical data. Within the chart, click the date that you're interested in. After you click, the hover line will be locked and the table (including a downloaded version) from that specific date.
