In the next few lines I will show you, step by step, how to contact Google support through its official forums or on Twitter, by phone and also using the contact service made available to Google One subscribers.
Google help
One of the main ways to ask Google for help is to use the Google help, a sort of hub that allows access to pages intended to offer complete support and assistance on a specific service offered by “big G”.
use the Google help it is very simple: just select the service of your interest, search for the topic that corresponds to your question or problem and, if there is not already one that can answer your questions, open a new thread to receive assistance through the available forums for each of the services of the Mountain View giant.
Having clarified this, let's go into the procedure in more detail: to start, connect to the Google Guide, clicking on the link I have just provided you and, on the page that opens, click on one of the services / products listed (eg. Google Chrome, YouTube, gmail, Google Play and so on).
If you are looking for a product or service other than those listed, click on the ▼ icon, to see all the other products and / or services present within the categories Consumer, Business e Developers.
After clicking on a specific product or service, click on the tab corresponding to the type of problem for which you want to receive assistance: in the section The most read articles, for example, you can find some problems most frequently encountered by users; in the other available sections, however, you can find other articles regarding the type of problem attached to the card itself.
After you have expanded one of the tabs in question, click on the link corresponding to the article that answers your question and that can help you solve the problem you are experiencing. If you want, you can also try to search for the solution to a problem using the search bar, corresponding to the wording Describe your problem, which is placed at the top.
Google Forum
La Google help doesn't contain the solution to your problem? You would like to know how to contact Google Maps, how to contact Google Play, how to contact Google Photos or how to contact the team at the head of some other Google family service and you still haven't figured out how to do it? Don't worry: the Google forum can help you.
Through a function present in the official guide of Google services, in fact, it is possible to ask for help regarding a certain problem using the assistance forum attached to the section of the guide taken into consideration.
To use it, after having gone to the section of the Google guide of your interest (eg. Google Chrome), click the button Forum of [service name], which is located at the bottom left of the page (eg. Google Chrome Forum).
At this point, on the page that will be shown to you, you can find the list of questions posed by other users. Under the heading Featured post, for example, you can find the topics that have attracted the most interest among the community.
By scrolling the page, however, you can browse through all the countless other topics covered in the forum and you can look for one that can help you solve your problem / doubt. Once you have identified a discussion potentially useful for your purposes, click on its title and consult it, to see if the solution to the problem you were looking for is actually given.
Would you like to interact with users in a discussion you are following? Then click on the item Reply, write your message in the box that appears and click on the item Public, to publish it. Before posting your message, you can also click on the symbol of clip to attach a photo or screenshot (very useful if you want to understand the type of problem you are having), or enrich your message by inserting a link (the icon of chain located at the bottom right of the box).
If you are not logged in to your Google account yet, you will be prompted to do so before posting your reply in a discussion. If you don't have a Google account yet, you can create one by following my guide dedicated to the topic.
If you want to open a new discussion on a topic that hasn't been covered yet, click on the link Ask a question (at the bottom of the home page of the selected forum) and, on the page that opens, write, corresponding to the entry Create your question, the question you want to ask the community and click on the button Continue.

In this case you can use a function included in some programs made by the Mountain View company that allows you to send feedback related to their operation.
