How to Submit an Idea to Google

Google accepts idea submissions from the public.

Google has grown exponentially in terms of both revenue and services provided since its founding in 1998. In spite of its growth, the company refuses to rest on its laurels. Google accepts submissions for new products and services through its AppSpot.com website, and anyone is allowed to submit an idea. Submit your idea to Google if you have an idea for something that you would like to see Google provide.

Instructions

1. Browse to the Google product ideas submission page using the link in the "Resources" section of this article. Click the "Sign In" link in the upper-right corner of the window and log into the website using your Google ID and password. If you do not have a Google ID, create one using the second link in the "Resources" section.

2. Enter a nickname and location using the text boxes on the right side of the window. This information is used to identify you if you participate in public discussions regarding your or someone else's ideas. Click the "Save" button.

3. Click a link under "Featured Products" to select the Google service (such as Google Docs or Google Images) that you would like to submit an idea for.

4. Click the "View Ideas" button, then click the "Submit an Idea" button at the bottom of the page that appears.

5. Click the drop-down menu next to "Pick a Topic" and select the area of the service you selected that most closely describes the area that you want to submit an idea for. For example, if you selected "Google Images," you might select "SafeSearch" under "Pick a Topic."

6. Type your idea using 250 characters or less, then click the "Submit" button. Your idea will be open to the public for discussion and voting. If the idea is popular and possible to implement, you may find it added to Google in the future.
