How to Contact Google

Use Google Support (Google Help)

How to Contact Google Picture 1

Find out what works at the Google help center. Because Google can't provide customer service for requests like password resets or account recovery, they have lists of common support topics and instructions for common problems.

While the help center doesn't feel like you're connected to Google, it's your one-stop-shop for issues when you need assistance from Google.

Contact Google directly

Understand that there are few ways to contact Google directly. Unless you're a reporter or G Suite manager, the ways you can contact Google are limited to just mailing and applying for jobs.

The only exceptions are for Android help, Pixel help, and Google Drive help as mentioned in the method above.

Do not call numbers that are not recognized by Google. Many scam phone numbers claiming to be Google's are still in circulation. To avoid being scammed (or time-consuming), you should only call the phone number found in the Google documentation. For example, you can call a phone number on a G Suite site, but not a phone number on a non-Google site.

The same applies to email addresses and regular addresses.

Google employees never ask you for your password by phone or text.

Email the press support team. If you are a reporter and would like to contact Google with questions, you can email press@google.com. Whether or not you receive a reply will depend on the subject of the email.

Google only accepts and responds to emails from reputable reporters.

Send an email to Google's office. If you don't mind mailing your letter and don't receive a reply, you can write to 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043. Google almost doesn't respond to mailed mail, so don't do this for urgent or sensitive matters.
