Google won’t stop harassing me to spend more money on my Google Search Ads
Posted by on December 15, 2025 at 7:37 pmI work for a marketing agency and run ads on Google Search.
Google has a contracted workforce called "XWF" that is a glorified sales team. Google frames these people as "Google Ads Experts" able to answer your every question about anything Google Ads.
In practice, they just follow scripts that tell you to spend more money on Google Ads or making changes that are detrimental to your campaign.
I have been receiving calls unrelentingly from countless reps and phone numbers to talk about "optimizing" my ads, which always leads to telling me to increase my ad budget.
I have told the reps to stop calling me. I also went into the Google Ads dashboard and opted out of them calling me, yet they cold call me sometimes 10 times a day asking me to increase my budget.
I have told the reps multiple times I feel harassed by them and that this needs to stop. Nothing is working.
I get phone calls at 3AM, 12PM, 6PM, etc etc. All hours of the day and night.
I'm out sick from work today with COVID and I'm waiting for a phone call from my doctor and I'm getting Google Ads calls still back-to-back.
Mind numbingly infuriating.

They literally never stop. I told them to fuck off and the guy was like that’s unprofessional – shut up, you ruin accounts for financial gain. They’re snakes. The worst is when they convince the client you’re doing a subpar job because you aren’t taking their advice, and hop on a call with the client who green lights the disaster, ruins the accounts, and it’s “your fault.”

I yell at them since they lie. they don’t work for google and it is a sales call.

Same. I got calls from 2 different reps for the same account. For MONTHS. I finally replied to a couple emails to leave me alone, and it’s been quiet for a few days.
