Please... I could really do with some help here from google support.
Yesterday I used the below script to research LSV on 50,000 keywords.
This translated to 285,168 billable quota units or £49.49? How can
this be? As far as I can work out, I should only have been charged 50
API units (50,000 quota units), which is $12.50 (around £8.50).
I eagerly await your reply.
Regards, Simon
