Google is pushing some businesses to sign up for a free Google Ads consult with a Google representative through their Gmail accounts. This is in the form of a pop up in the Gmail interface, it is not a normal spammy email solicitation but rather a pop up.
The pop up says, "Get a free 1-on-1 consultation with a Google Ads expert: You don't have to start on your own. Let our experts help you set your strategy, budget and keywords." It then has a button to "schedule" that consult.
Here is a screenshot from Anthony Higman who posted this on X - he said his client sent it to him.

Just funny (sad) Google is doing this...
Ive just never seen a pop up like that in Gmail before. I have seen the top of SERPs thing but this is new and annoying.

This @gmail pop-up is getting quite aggravating @GoogleAds @adsliaison .
