The Top Secret Ways To Contact Google Directly

It isn’t always easy to find the answers you need when it comes to Google products, but if you want to pick up the phone or increase your chances of getting answers from a Google employee, here’s a complete list of how to accomplish your goals.

How to contact Google directly
If you have a computer/device and the internet, you’re most likely using a Google product right this very second, and there is a chance you’ve had a challenge at some point that you wished you could talk to someone at Google about. Whether you’re a phone person or an email person, there are ways to actually get in touch with the perfect person to get your questions answered, and while most of these are not a secret at all, it isn’t overly evident on most of Google’s pages and takes digging. No longer.
Google is infamous for ignoring contact forms and for messages going into a giant black hole, but you can get around that.

Step one: general contact

The first place to start is Google.com/contact where you can search by Google product. You might just find exactly what you need right off the bat, but if you don’t, you can always try Support.Google.com which can help you direct to general answers about Google products.

Also in your first round of trying to contact Google, try the Product Forums which Google employees are known to monitor and respond. Many people have great success in finding answers just by searching, but when you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can always ask questions about any of these Google products: AdSense, Blogger, Chrome, Gmail, Google Affiliate Network, Google Analytics, Google Books, Google Apps, Google Calendar, Google Chat, Google Checkout Merchant, Google Commerce, Google Custom Search, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Earth, Google Fusion Tables, Google Maps, Google News, Google Voice, Google Wallet, Google+ Hangouts, Orkut, Picasa, YouTube, and more.

Step two: get on the phone

The general contact page and the forums didn’t yield results. So you want to get on the phone. Calling for general inquiries from technical support to customer service. But this is general and you have to go through an automated system to system (hint: press 5 for customer service). If you already know who you want to talk to, dial that person’s extension by pressing 8 to dial by name.
