When they call I just aggressively try to sell them a house. Evens things up a bit.

Hi Margaret --- how funny!
I don't count but it seems like a lot in the course of a week -- as Noah Seidenberg answered they may not actually be officially Google but they certainly throw around the name a lot and how they can improve my ranking. Love to ask -- how they found me. Most seem to be automated or using a really bad script.

I think a lot of the people are getting calls from companies that are Google certified representatives but do not work for the Google company. That ain't Google. If you are speaking with them your caller ID says Google.
Watch out for impostors.

I have not spoken with Google directly, but I have had several offers from companies "who guarantee top search results in Google" many, many times. I used to tell them I make all of my marketing decisions in December (or any month that is not the month they call), and my marketing dollars have already been spent that year. Recently, I changed to, "If you are so certain that your system will produce results, offer me one free month of your services. If they help me to succeed, I will sign on for a longer time period."

No calls from Google, but plenty of calls from scammers of all kinds, including a few pretending to be from Google.

Never from Google. At least once a month from Google certified advertising companies (or those who say they are).

Margaret- I must get 5 or 6 a day but don't answer them. I've learned after I picked up a few.

I ignore about 3 calls a day from California. If you are in California and was calling me to refer a buyer or seller, please accept my apologies and don't take it personally.
How can we all be the top three on page one of google? Ahh, the the offer is for today only. What a shame.

I block the phony Google telemarketing spam phone calls and robocalls using free phone app, MrNumber. In Colorado, telemarketers must register with the Attorney General before calling. If someone gets thru, I don't answer any questions. I immediately interrupt them and say "Put my phone number on your do not call list and hang up." End of nuisance.

Margaret, I feel like I get them all day long, because they are annoying, But in reality it's probably a couple of times per week.

I don't get any calls from Google ( I hope, it is not going to change). Other marketers do call.

None. When I get a call from a number and there is no one on the other end of the phone I code the number so it doesn't ring any more. If they call back I don't know it.

Thankfully it is not every day but it is every week. I also get those robo calls and if I suspect it is one of them I may not say anything at first. They usually hang up.

Margaret,
The way to shut that down is to sign out of your Google account after you are through using. A

Probably a lot. Once I identify a call I don't wish to receive again, I add the number to my blocked calls list. It's an excellent tool to cut down on junk calls.
