You don't start counting at 0, so going with Americans on this.

Ground floor is 0.

It is depicted like that in the elevators. First floor above is 1, first floor below is -1.

Doesn't American go from -1 directly to 1? Skipping 0 entirely?

There's not usually a 0 (at least in Canada). Ground floor is 1 or G. The floor above that is 2. Basement is B, or if there's multiple basements, B1 then B2, B3, etc.
