same with me, I have a template for DMCAs that I thankfully don't use too frequently, I do recall that many moons ago removeyourcontent (RIP) helped me out, along with a gfy'er I didn't really know but got in touch with through RYC, in getting an infringing site removed from the host and ad account terminated, all in a matter of days. the SERP stuff I did myself
my then-new site got killed in goog back when that ish mattered cuz someone copied everything on a subdomain of their more established site. all my blog posts and pages, all my pics, pretending to be me. even made a fake yahoo messenger acct soliciting show payments (that's how long ago this was, had really only gotten started in the biz venturing out solo)
wasn't just stealing from me, but also well-meaning potential clients meaning to pay
me and getting scammed. talk about a huge ding in the reputation as solid/trustworthy I was tryna build
spent a couple weeks wanting to kill somebody and then reached out and the whole thing was over in a matter of days. in that instance a DMCA co made all the difference

yikes
so another route. def most DMCA co's are shit. everyone is in agreement on that. I've never worked with them personally but have heard from others that takedownpiracy are on the good side. worth a look, all I'm suggesting
believe me, I get your frustration. again, good luck with this
