Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Blogger.com Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Blogger.com in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Change Who Can Comment on My Blogger.com Blog? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible.
