Nothing else in the Analytics space gives the right integration between your SEO and PPC. So for example, if I wanted to create an Analytics -based custom PPC audience based on a number of factors such as device, pages visited, events triggered and location (layered) directly into my AdWords campaigns, I'm going to have to use GA. And if I want to use Optimize for my PPC campaigns, then I'm going to have to still use GA. It's all out of the box and it's all "free", compared with the multiple vendors solutions I'd need to make the same scenario work in order to drive sales from web visitors. That's the google lock in right there. Meh.

UPDATE

THING FIXED!

Media release and some of you here helped bigly yuge with the getting of Google to sort out.

Thanks to you all.

Bows

Hi mate. I just checked now and they've raised the 25 queries per second limit to 100, but the Queries Per 100 Seconds Per User is still at 25, sooo... They've done half the job which I'm super stoked about - can't thank you enough mate! If I can be a bit of a cheeky prick, is there any chance you could please ping them to get the queries per user lifted too, to 100 per second? I did ask for both in their form. If you could do this mate, I'd be over the moon - and deffo happy to drop some dough on a charity of your choice as way of thanks too, to pay it forward :) thanks heaps man. Really appreciate the help

Nope. All this effort and they give not one single flying fuck. I'm still at 25 calls per second which is their standard.

Nothing. Has. Changed.

Fuck you Google. Fuck. You.

Mate, if you could possibly help me with this, is give a decent chunk to a charity of your choice.

Had to use their adwords API before too. Can confirm: Made us jump through hoops on automated systems there too. Their contempt towards developers is breathtaking. I'd be happy to pay for support but duck that if I can't get a simple API rate increase PLUS a load of negative press can't even budge them into this simple action.

It's fucking shit. Despite the negative publicity, and I just checked as their API rate resets midnight PST, annnd.... Still at 25 per second. Google are fucking shit and their contempt is palpable. I'm seething.

It's not actually been resolved. Cunts.

We're a GDPR solution smooshed in with the questionnaire builder mate. Primarily aimed at the UK market, but with the California GDPR equivalent kicking off Jan 1st..

Wow!! My company made HackerNews! Yeah, what an arseache it's been - and just checked and nothing has been actioned still despite the negative coverage. Google truly don't give a shit I'm afraid.
