We continue to try and get a straight answer from Google as to why legitimate repair businesses are unable to advertise on their platform. In our petition we link to the google post that discusses the crack-down on third party technical support providers. Whilst this seems to be the most obvious reason for the restrictions, it is unclear why searches for "IT Support" on google still yield plenty of paid search results - the very industry they are claiming they are clamping down on.
