Through social media channels

If you are having problems with a support request, there are 2 other options where you can ask for help. We'd only suggest using them if you've already contacted Google using our form or step-by-step guide, but you haven't received the support you think you should have received.

Contact our business customer service Google on Facebook, either by posting on their wall or by sending a message directly to the page. NOTE: It used to be https://www.facebook.com/GoogleMyBusiness, but this link has now fallen into the hands of spammers.
You can also contact the account Google Business Profile on the X platform.

Expect a response from the customer service support team within 24-48 hours (Monday-Friday only). During busy periods, Google's business customer service team may be delayed and response times may take a week or more.

Through the community

You can't speak directly to a Google employee at community, but you can get advice from Google's product experts who are able to escalate issues if necessary. The Google Business Profile Forum is supported by active members and managed primarily by a team of experts who have the ability to escalate issues and cases to Google.

It's best to post in the forums if you want advice on a specific topic, have seen something strange that you think might be a bug, or need clarification on a specific Google policy. For issues related to misleading business listings, you should use the Google reporting form for spammers.
