The system is easy to use. It asked me how much I wanted to spend each day for one ad. I chose $15 a day. On the first day, they charged my account $125. I called to delete my account and got sent in circles. After holding for about 25 min, I got a recording saying that no one could take my call due to covid (not kidding). I went looking for how to delete the ad account and eventually found it but they bury it in multi-page data and some instructions are not correct (waste your time). Once I completed the steps nothing was deleted. I was able to cancel the account but I don't trust this company so I also canceled the card I gave them. This is NOT the kind of company that you want to have your credit card number. Google ads will never get my business again.

Tip for consumers:
AVOID!

You will end up paying a fortune for Advertising on Google and in most cases it works however if you ever need to speak to someone you will find it near on impossible to do so. Any other business you deal with and spend far less money with provides a certain level of support. Google seems to not bother.

UNRELIABLE & VERY RISKY Advertising Platform for Indian Business's - Google Adwords India

My company faced so many challenges with Google Adwords India & after going through with all these challenges, I'm so much frustrated that i will recommend & advice every Indian Company/business NOT to rely on Google for a long term business relation.

Our account & other tech support accounts were closed instantly overnight by Google Ad words Policy Team. And here is the worst nightmare which i faced:

1) After account suspension, If you try to call Google, they will NOT allow to get in touch with anybody over the phone. IVR will RUDELY say that your account is suspended because of some blah blah blah reasons & we cannot help you out anymore. It's a shame that being a billion dollar company, Google cannot employee people to help you out over the phone.

2) If you email Google Adwords India via email, they will reply you so late with an automated template message, just explaining that your account was suspended because it does not comply with our User safety policy. Please refrain yourself from creating any more accounts & they will share this unreliable link with you:

https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/*******?hl=en

Now trust me, you(As a Customer specially in India) is blocked for ever. This link is a general policy applied to every business's. Customer like us will be trapped forever to make guess's & keep on correcting everything on the site. Even if you correct any site lacking's following this policy & send your site for a review, Google will send you the same automated template format reply saying that we have reviewed your site and it still does not comply with our policies & guidelines.

No business can comply with your Homemade policies on day 1. You need to inform the business, if the are making any mistakes instead of just shutting the down the account in the backend and let the business(Customer) suffer. Google is made by customers & if you treat your customers like this then its a big big shame,

3) Google Account Mangers in Google Adwords India are completely USELESS. Yes. Its an ugly truth. They are just account managers for a formality. They don't have any control over your account. Everything remains in a control of Google policy team, who never responds to you directly or talk to you directly. They act as they are super classifieds and sitting in super secret area like Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. They never reveal anything and make you suffer for ever. Your every effort to bring your account out of suspension will go wasted & your business will eventually closed down. If you rely just on Google to promote your business in India, then be warned. Google will never help you to grow, until you are based out of U.S. Google is a U. S product, & they only treat well if you are an U. S based business.

My account managers in India were vanished on a very second day since the account got suspended. Till the account was running fine, they used to call me & come to my office like they will be with me forever in my business growth. But that was all fake. After few days of suspension, one of the account manager left Google and other one went too quiet like she was paralyzed by Google policy team from U. S and controlling these managers like puppets.

Shameless impression ever you can encounter will Google Services.

Google needs to understand that if somebody is doing a huge investment in marketing then, they must be doing a same thing in buying a office and hiring the employees. Shutting down the website instantly without any warning or proper support can turn somebody's life into a major NIGHTMARE. How will that business clear its dues? How will that business survive to pay its mortgage? It can also lead you to big mental distress, when you see your business going down even though you did everything right.

Due to some bad business in the market, you cannot close other business similar to that just because of your instant internal policy changes. If Google is a billion dollar company then verifying every business should not be a big task. It's very disappointing that you treated Indian business like this & I will keep on sharing this experience like anything everywhere.

Every time i decide about doing a new online business, I can't even think about marketing on google. Google makes me afraid of being slammed by a big investment loss & suffering. Google DO NOT value small business's & specially in India.

India is an emerging market of new business's everyday & i think its time for India to develop something like Yandax.com & not allowing outsiders to control us. You have treated hundreds of business like us this way but we are together and make sure that India will have their own search engine by 2020 & it will happen for sure no matter what.

Today i read this article by PCWORLD ( http://www.pcworld.com/article/*******/google-under-antitrust-investigation-in-india-over-adwords.ht...) & I'm now super confident that you made so many suffer and acted biased.

Thanks for you bad services Google Adwords India & treating biased.: smileysad:
