Today I opened my Google Ads account to see a $760 charge to a video campaign I set up 2 days ago at a $5/day budget. I called Google Support and he assured me that Google did not charge me, they gave me free traffic for “testing purposes”. He said this “happens once in a blue moon”.

To verify I wasn’t charged he took me here:

Reports > Predefined reports (Dimensions) > Other > Billed cost

I also checked here:

Tools > Billing & Payments > Transactions
