That's at least something related being offered :)

When I searched for a very specific pillow type (and added country name to the search to get local results) I get this as first result on Google https://i.imgur.com/Fxx9b80.png. It's a mattress/pillow start-up/brand in India. The ad shows the exact thing I am looking for.

But when I click, and I am redirected to the actual product page https://i.imgur.com/eI6sNtJ.png that has none of these features and the product description is completely different from what it shows on Google Search result page.

I had reported this to Google sometimes back and nothing changed in their SEO gymnastics the last time I had checked a couple of weeks later.

I think what they are doing is fraud (wrong? unethical?). But what really annoyed me is it wasted a lot of my time as I thought I was doing something wrong and probably they actually had the product I am looking for.
