Google is testing a paid model of buyer assist for its advertisers who use Google Adverts. Google mentioned this can be a “paid pilot” the place its “smallest prospects can obtain specialised, one-on-one assist, tailor-made to their particular wants.”
Google didn’t submit something about this on their weblog or assist channels, however a Google spokesperson emailed us at Search Engine Land about this.
Google mentioned this paid pilot is predicated on “buyer suggestions” the place Google Adverts is experimenting with choices “to enhance and rethink our Adverts buyer expertise,” the corporate instructed us.
The paid stage assist will provide its smaller prospects the identical stage of assist a few of its largest prospects get. Google did inform us that “these modifications are a part of a long run technique that we’ll be constructing on extra time, testing and studying as we go.” That may be a bit regarding in that possibly Google can even require giant prospects to pay for one-on-one assist sooner or later?
That is only a take a look at, and it isn’t accessible to all small advertisers now, Google might increase this over time after the pilot is over.
Google mentioned businesses working with prospects included on this pilot can even be capable of schedule specialised paid assist consultations tailor-made to their shoppers’ particular wants.
What It Seems Like
Here’s a screenshot of Google providing this via the Google Adverts interface, this was noticed by Lomaxx PPC on Twitter. You may see an appointment right here prices 40£ ($50) per name, I’m instructed the time restrict is at present as much as 45 minutes (however which will change):

Actually, it simply appears bizarre to me that this might be one thing advertisers must pay for. I get if you’re hiring a third-party consulting company, you’d pay them, however to pay the promoting community to assist you on their advert platform, that simply appears off to me.
The concept Google would cost smaller advertisers to really have entry to respectable assist is gross.
How we’ve let these platforms get away with not providing even fundamental customer support to paying advertisers continues to be thoughts blowing.#PPCChat

Based mostly on the examples offered, I might hope they don’t cost quite a bit. Sounds prefer it’s extra of account tune-up gadgets which a enterprise may usually pay a guide to assist with anyway.
….or simply ping #ppcchat without spending a dime 😉

IMO I believe that is counterintuitive and will backfire on Google. We have seen the work of rep really useful accounts, it often creates extra enterprise (account rescue missions/audits) for businesses. (Assuming this is identical stage of experience assist reps for small accounts have now

The gall of Google to cost for that is simply wonderful to me. Think about being charged by Verizon or AT&T each time you referred to as assist with a difficulty. YOU’RE ALREADY PAYING THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE
