Google Is Silencing Small Repair Shops — Help Us Fight Back

The Issue

Enough is enough.

Small repair shops aren’t being outcompeted — they’re being erased by Google.

Across the country, thousands of honest, family-run electronics repair businesses are being silently banned from advertising on Google — their #1 way of reaching new customers.

These aren’t shady shops. They’re 5-star local businesses run by veterans, parents, and young entrepreneurs. But because they offer independent repair, their ads are blocked without warning or explanation — even if they're verified and compliant.

Here’s the result:

🔍 When people search “phone repair near me,” these shops don’t show up.
🚫 No visibility = no customers. No customers = no business.

Even in Right to Repair states, where consumer choice is protected by law, Google’s quiet ad ban makes that protection meaningless. Great businesses are being forced to shut down — not from bad service, but because they’ve been cut off from the digital economy.

This isn’t fair competition — it’s digital erasure.
