Google will make sure you never rank for anything again if you do a chargeback. None of your digital properties will ever rank again. I have been hit hard just because a credit card had a fraud warning google destroyed my rankings and deleted a bunch of my real reviews

Google removed manual dispute button in Aug. 2024… now you rate leads dissatisfied within 30 days and their AI decides… credits supposed to show within 30 days but their system is notorious for ghosting refunds… escalate through LSA support and document every lead with call recordings.

A credit promise from Google LSA that did not apply at month end is a billing dispute with a specific escalation path that most advertisers do not know about. Whether this is recoverable depends on how the credit was promised and whether you have documentation. Do you have written confirmation from Google that those charges were going to be credited?
