> Stick with Google. It's not fashionable but a bargain. You're commodicized on the internet unless you run your own services. Don't let any marketing fool you.
You also don't get any useful customer service for that $5. I know companies that charge less but provide customer service. So what you value isn't what others may value.
- systemvoltage 6y agoThat's one of the drawbacks of Google in general. I think if you want to buy Ads and have a big account with them, perhaps you can talk to a human.

One day: two sw engineers onsite, we recreated the problem, they went back to yake care of it. Another day: what seemed like a student from a third world country on a very cheap helpdesk asking irrelevant questions instead of reading the description. Another day again: answer by "head of <something>" acknowledging the issue and pointing to a fix coming <at some specified time>, only IIRC the fix didn't arrive, at least not at the time that person said.
