Google

Google is a technology company best known for internet search, digital advertising and widely used consumer services. It also develops cloud infrastructure, workplace software, mobile operating systems, browsers, mapping products, video platforms and artificial intelligence. Google operates as a principal business of Alphabet and earns most of its revenue from advertising delivered across Search, YouTube and partner websites.

The company’s products include Google Search, YouTube, Android, Chrome, Maps, Gmail, Photos, Drive and Google Workspace. Google Cloud provides computing, storage, databases, analytics, security, collaboration and machine-learning services to organisations and developers. Its AI work is incorporated into products such as Gemini and supports research, developer tools and enterprise services. Google also designs Pixel phones and other consumer devices while maintaining large advertising and measurement platforms.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998 after developing a search system while studying at Stanford University. The company grew rapidly as its ranking technology helped users navigate the expanding web. It later expanded through products and acquisitions, including Android and YouTube. A corporate reorganisation in 2015 created Alphabet as the parent company, with Google remaining the largest operating business.

Google’s main campus is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, United States. The published corporate telephone number commonly associated with that office is +1 650 253 0000. Customer and product support is generally provided through Google’s online help centres, account consoles and dedicated business-support channels rather than the corporate switchboard.

For the most current product, office and support information, visitors should use the official Google website, because regional availability and contact routes can change. Corporate services and product availability can differ by market.
