Have you tried advertising on DuckDuckGo? There's not as much traffic, but it could be worth it.



How many people do you know who use DuckDuckGo? How many of them would consider a repair shop instead of doing it themselves?


FWIW, I use DDG, I’d still go to a repair shop rather than try to repair an iPhone personally.

I’m perfectly happy building a PC or messing with something that’s meant to be user-serviceable, or even replacing the stereo in my car, but when it comes to small things that are glued together I’d look at a professional. I can’t even manage to get screen protectors to go on perfectly straight in past experience...


I use DDG and would consider going to a repair shop. Used to fix them myself, but stopped around the iPhone 6 era as they became too fiddly to bother.

The last straw was when I knackered a motherboard because I mixed up two screws and severed a vital copper trace. So frustrating.


I would definitely use a shop, there isn't enough time to read/watch up on how to do it myself


About as many as I know who would consider repairing their device at all instead of buying a new one.


I also use DDG and would use a shop. I used to even repair iPhones for myself and others, but I just don’t have the tools or expertise these days.


I've heard that Bing also works well
