How to Contact YouTube, Gmail and Other Google Properties
Google owns a number of web properties like YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Drive, Android, and more. Each of these services has spawned an entire industry. They have become a brand. So, if you want to contact YouTube, for example, it is better to do it from the YouTube site instead of Google.
Google only has customer support for paid services like AdWords, Google Apps for Work, Google Pixel etc. Howeve, for free services such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Play apps etc, they rely on forums where you can ask for support from Google experts and other users for your concerns.
Since there are billions of people use Google web properties, chances are your question has already been answered on some forum. So, for each site/service, I will share some links to help and troubleshoot pages before showing you how to connect with a representative, if there is a way.
Let’s take a look at how you’re able to contact Google-owned sites and services in case you need some help.
Note:Here is a link toGoogle Status Boardthat shows which Google service is down. Check it once to understand.
