The discussion revolves around the impact of Google's recent decisions, including the outsourcing of support and the introduction of a new verification process.
We explore the ramifications of these changes on businesses, especially the automotive industry, where trust and support play a pivotal role. Dave shares insights on the open letter Reunion Marketing penned to Google, calling out the adverse effects of their decisions and the subsequent lack of support.
