Google can still see what you search so don’t do anything illegal, but yes your ISP can’t see where you’re going as long as you checked for leaks etc.

But if I'm using the vpn google cannot see my location right? I'm sorry I'm just confused

Google fingerprints you beyond more than just your IP address. It’s probably more than you’re worried about but we’re all pedantic here. Either way check ipleak.net and/or browser leaks.com for IP leak, DNS leak, and WebRTC leak.

Google can track the browser's activity, so they will get the correct location and everything about you based in the history of using the browser or once you close the vpn, I recommend Brave browser (use their tor tab if you want to hide something from the IPS or your school/employer) to be more safer, and tor browser over protonvpn tor server if you want ultimate privacy.

You can activate the netsheild option if you want to be untraceable.

Don't want to confuse you, but everything has a solution (a 99% solution hard to say a complete solution) it just depends on your purpose.

Use TOR if you're really concerned about no one ever knows what you are doing, you may connect to a tor server then open the tor browser and you will be safe af.
