Reaching out to Google for assistance is generally slow, annoying, and all too often, unproductive. While their AdWords support is demonstrably better than their support for their other platforms, seeing as you’re presumably a paying customer through AdWords, their Google My Business support team can be difficult to reach and largely unhelpful.
While their phone and email support have long been their go-to methods of interacting with users, in the last several months, more and more businesses have wised up and started contacting Google My Business via Twitter to address their needs. Although there support line supposedly still exists, it’s become nearly impossible to receive any help via their number.
