Yeah, I’m seeing the same pattern. Not even just “bad leads” either — it’s the volume that’s annoying. Stuff looks fine at a glance, then sales digs in and it’s all no budget, no timeline, duplicate junk, or whatever weird bot mess slipped through. I wouldn’t pin it all on Google alone, but something’s definitely noisier than it was a few months back. The “traffic up, revenue flat” line is getting old fast.
