I can understand the author's frustration, but that's a doordash ad, not a Saddleback BBQ ad - it's unrelated to the advertising fee that the author pays to be on the platform from my understanding that fee is for appearing in searching on the platform. The ad on google is for the platform itself. Doordash paid google to pick out queries with words like "bbq" and redirect them to doordash queries for "bbq". That has nothing to do with saddleback BBQ -- except, that for some awful reason, the ad is placed in the sidebar full of saddleback BBQ information instead of the main search results. I'd say this is less conspiratorial and more evidence of incompetence. Still, I feel for the author.
