Hell, as a small business owner providing third party IT technical support/repair services, I’d simply like to be able to advertise my actual technical support services in any form whatsoever on Google’s bullshit platform.
But for some vague and obscure reason, third party technical support and repair services are banned from advertising under Google Ads - Something that most definitely was not always the case.
At minimum they could provide a realistic and fair certification system for businesses that are obviously legitimate, assuming that providing ‘the best experience for the consumer’ really is Google’s main focus - They seem to be able to provide such a system for questionable online dating services boardering on human trafficking not a problem in the world.
But the shameless unspoken reality is that Google are only interested in maximizing the marketing presence of their own certified partners for the service and repair of Google’s own range of products, while burrying the little guy.
You can’t even configure the word ‘apple’ as a keyword search term in your advertising - The customer can’t see the keyword, it’s just a search term - But you can’t use the name of a piece of fruit in your advertising.
