Advertisers contacting Google Ads support may now need to grant explicit authorization before they can even submit a help request — giving a Google specialist permission to access and make changes directly inside their account. Here’s what’s happening. Users are first routed to a beta AI chat. If they opt to submit a support form instead, they must tick an “Authorisation” box. The wording allows a Google Ads specialist, on behalf of the company, to reproduce and troubleshoot issues by making changes directly in the account. The fine print is clear. Google doesn’t guarantee results. Any adjustments are made at…

SerpApi filed a motion to dismiss Google’s federal lawsuit, two months after Google sued the company under the DMCA for allegedly bypassing its SearchGuard anti-scraping system. The filing goes beyond disputing the technical allegations. SerpApi is challenging whether Google has the legal right to bring the case at all.

Google’s complaint cited licensed images in Knowledge Panels, merchant-supplied photos in Shopping results, and third-party content in Maps as examples of copyrighted material SerpApi allegedly scraped. SerpApi CEO Julien Khaleghy wrote that…

Written by: Erin Chun AI might sound like a buzzword, but in influencer marketing, it’s doing some serious behind-the-scenes magic. From finding the right creators to predicting what content will actually perform, AI is helping brands run influencer campaigns that feel more authentic and less like ads. And honestly?

One real-world example: connecting Microsoft’s Copilot with your Excel spreadsheet. In this scenario, you can ask Copilot to analyze…
