Licensed locksmiths and small locksmith businesses with all the paperwork and licensing that is required by local, state and federal governments are being denied the ability to advertise their business on Google. Ninety percent of all locksmith work is generated through Google's search engine. Some locksmith businesses worked with Google for only a few years, while others worked with Google for many more years prior to Google’s implementation of a program called “Advance Verification.” The new program requires locksmith businesses to obtain special approval or verification in order to be able to advertise on Google. Part of the process requires a recorded video call with Google. Many legitimate locksmith businesses are not getting approved. Because gauging the legitimacy of a business can done by referring to licensing and paperwork, there is some concern that a video call does not strictly adhere to whether or not a business is truly legitimate. We suspect that this might be done to cast judgement or conclusions based on ethnic background or any other details gained from a video interview that might be considered unlawfully biased. Some locksmith businesses that are gaining approval notices via email are then subsequently denied days or even weeks later without explanation. Locksmith businesses that are denied have the option to appeal the decision with Google by filling out a form. Google allows the business owner to submit “any more information that might help reverse the disapproval,” but business owners have no idea what that could possible include since they have already proved they are a legitimate business and Google is not disclosing a more detailed explanation. Google simply tells business owners that they do not meet the standard. And without an explanation of what exactly that standard is, Google emails the business owners to tell them they were denied in the appeals process and the case is closed with no more recourse for the business owner.
