How do I talk to Google Customer Care?

The best way to contact Google Customer Care is by calling the number on the bottom of your screen. You can also use the links at the bottom of our web site to visit Google Customer Care by phone. However, when you call, be sure to give the agent a brief and specific description of your issue. They will then look up your account and contact you directly.

If you call Google Customer Care by phone from a landline, the charges will appear as call from your landline provider. If you're using a mobile device, the charges will be call from your mobile service provider.

This may or may not be reflected on your bill. Your charges should still show up as call from your carrier, but there may be a small fee at the beginning of your call that you won't see. It is important to be aware of these fees, even if they aren't quite as high as expected, so that you don't accidentally incur another charge.

Most international calls can be made from US phone numbers with only a few exceptions, including calls to Canada and Mexico. If your service provider isn't listed above, the best number to contact is the 800 number for Google Customer Care. Calls to this number are free and your call is always translated into English, Spanish or French. The 800 number is available in many countries worldwide.

To make an international call, you must first dial an access number - usually a 1 or 2 followed by the country code. You may also be able to receive text messages to your cell phone or mobile device. Simply go to your Google voice page and text the number that appears at the top of the page. You can also set up text messages to sent to other phones or devices with that number.

To set up notifications, simply sign into your Google account and check off the box next to Text message and then you can choose what you would like to receive. You can set up to three types of notifications, including updates to your account and security-related alerts.

Can I chat with Google support?

Is this not considered spam?

Yes, you can talk with Google support. However, Google may not want to get involved. If they do send a response, it's probably an auto-generated email telling you that Google has addressed your complaint, but there isn't anything more that it can offer in terms of help. They don't even offer the option of submitting a report directly. They have all the answers, but they're kind of hoping that it will go away on its own. If it does, and if you don't take the opportunity to share your story, you may be doing Google a disservice by giving them no chance to make their service better. So, if they're not offering to help, I think it's best to keep complaining.

Can I submit a support ticket if I'm not a paying customer? No. Asking for support directly goes against Google's ToS. Also, it's kind of silly. Google exists to make money, and they want you to buy ads, not play games or ask for support. You may be able to get support in other ways, but there isn't a direct way to ask for it.

Are ads from this service good? A lot of people have complained that it's unclear what to do with their click. That means that the ads they clicked on were useless, or worse, misleading. Advertisers make mistakes; they try to use a campaign to deliver a message that would work for everyone. Sometimes the messages don't work. Sometimes the ads have a high CTR (click through rate) and low CPC (cost per click). In other cases, a particular ad could be very effective for some people, and not for others. But you can't tell who's going to benefit from what until you do an experiment.

So far, the experiment is very positive. There is a large group of people who don't know what to do when they see an ad, but the CTR is high. That means they're clicking on ads, thinking it's just going to work. These are the people who are going to get the best return on their spend.
