One request I have (to anyone out there who is listening) is a checklist focused on common small business tools and workflows.
For example, if I use Google Analytics on my website, or I advertise on Facebook and use the Facebook tracking on my website, do I need to do anything to be compliant. Same question for Mailchimp mailing lists, Square payments, Shopify e-commerce, etc etc. I get these questions from friends and clients all the time, and I struggle to give them a clear answer. I'm sure specialized consultants could, but small businesses often can't afford those.
Most of the resources I see are either aimed at larger companies, or tech startups. But the people most badly in need of guidance are neither.

Unfortunately, as far as I've seen from Google, the guidance they're providing on GA seems to basically amount to "if you use our service, it's your responsibility to audit what you send to us", and not much else. Which is... disappointing but unsurprising.
