Their support site is far more valuable than the landing page.

From the main support index at https://support.google.com/googleone/ here are various tidbits of useful content that the surrounding HN comments wished for (sorry, none describe the "expert help" available):

"Get Google One":

https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9004013

> With Google One, you get more storage, help from experts, and extra member benefits. You can share your membership with up to 5 family members.

"How your existing storage works with Google One":

https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9004014

> You'll get storage through your Google One membership, which will become your new storage limit. You'll no longer buy storage through Google Drive.

"Claim a Benefit":

https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9003266

> Google One hotel deals depend on the day, time, and other factors. There might not be a deal for every hotel search.

https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9080668

"Learn where Google One is available":

> Create or join a family; Use Google Play Family Library; Subscribe to the Google Play Music family plan; Use a family calendar

That landing page was too busy and did a weak job at selling what "one" was if it's really more than a cheaper drop box.

Expert access for $1.99/mo? Huh?

I'm confused. What is it? A storage bump? Paid support? A discount plan? A consolidation of all these offerings from different places into one home?

This is such a bad landing page. I have more questions than answers.

Based on what I know about it, it's a one subscription plan for everything. Storage, mail, photos, music, videos, everything.

For a moment I thought it was going to be another chat app.

Instead it's... something? A one sentence description at the beginning of the page wouldn't hurt...

It's a googlier Google.

It's Extra Google.

Could've been called Google Extra, but the word Extra has a negative connotation to it at this time.

...actually, even that interpretation seems applicable here.

By the end of the page, I wasn't even sure what "one" is.
