I get phone calls all the time from people saying your Google address is wrong. Google calling. Okay. Yeah. There's companies out there that are like search engine optimization companies and they get lists of businesses and they call you and they say things that makes you think like your Google Business Profile is incorrect or it's not complete or whatever scare tactics they come up with. And they say they're from Google, but the reality is they're not. And Google will never call you unless you call them first and then they call you back. And there was a magic number that we used to be able to call for that, that I think they lost when COVID hit. And you don't have it to share with us? No, because it doesn't work anymore. It was a secret little button that you could find within their help files that would basically tell them to call you. And it— thank you very much— it took it down.
