What gets measured after launch

Clear targets, honest reporting, and a plan you can change

What gets measured after launch

Reports are short here. One page of numbers you can act on beats twenty you cannot. Each stage has one owner and one check, from profile setup and verification through ongoing lead accountability. The published scopes are Scoped to your requirement, so you can see what each one covers before you choose. If google local service ads is not producing the number we agreed, that is our problem to solve, not yours to chase.

What you gain with us

A lead channel we build around jobs booked, not clicks

Placement above paid and organic outputs

Local Services Ads appear at the very top of the search page, ahead of standard Google Ads and organic listings, for the local queries that matter most to your trade.

Pay for qualified leads, not clicks

You're charged when a customer contacts you through the platform, not every time your ad is clicked, so browsing traffic doesn't erode your budget.

The Google Guaranteed or Screened badge

Passing background checks and license or insurance verification earns the badge that signals verified credibility to customers comparing providers.

Leads you can dispute

Leads that fall outside your service area, job type, or hours can be disputed and credited, so you're not paying for calls you never should have received.

We define the service categories, job types, and coverage radius your ads target, so your budget only goes toward the jobs and neighborhoods you want.

Questions our clients ask us

Google Local Services Ads questions we answer

What's the difference between Local Services Ads and regular Google Ads?

Local Services Ads appear above standard Google Ads and organic outputs, charge per qualified lead instead of per click, and require passing Google's verification process before you can run them.

What does the verification process involve?

Google runs a background check on your business and, depending on your trade, verifies licensing and insurance. Passing this process is what earns the Google Guaranteed or Google Screened badge.

Which businesses qualify for Local Services Ads?

Google Local Services Ads are available to local service trades such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, locksmith, cleaning, and similar home and local service categories that Google supports in your area.

Can we dispute a lead we don't think was legitimate?

Yes. Leads that fall outside your defined service area, job type, or business hours, or that turn out to be spam, can be disputed directly with Google for a credit.

How much does this cost?

Pricing is scoped individually based on your trade, service area, and target lead volume rather than a flat published rate. We'll walk through the numbers during your consultation before any commitment.

Will every business get approved?

No. We turn down running Local Services Ads for a business that isn't ready for the background check and license verification, because a rejected application wastes the weeks you needed to start getting calls.

How long does the badge approval process take?

Timelines depend on Google's background check turnaround and how quickly your license and insurance documentation comes through, we submit everything as soon as your profile is built.

Do you manage our service area and job type settings?

Yes. We define the service categories, job types, and coverage radius your ads target, so your budget only goes toward the jobs and neighborhoods you want.

How do you keep the budget from getting wasted on bad leads?

We monitor incoming leads, dispute any that fall outside your criteria, and adjust weekly bids based on which job types and areas are converting into booked work.

What happens if we get a bad review?

A bad review or a slow response can cap your ad budget under Google's own system. We watch for this and work with you on response times so it doesn't quietly throttle your leads.

Do you handle ongoing management or just the initial setup?

Both. Profile setup and verification come first, but lead review, bid management, and accountability for lead quality continue for as long as we run the account.

Can this work alongside our other Google Ads campaigns?

Yes. Local Services Ads and standard Google Ads run independently and often complement each other, since Local Services Ads appear above both paid and organic results.

What if our trade isn't listed as eligible in our area?

Google Local Services Ads eligibility varies by trade and location. If your trade or area isn't currently supported, we'll tell you upfront rather than take on an account that can't run.

Are we charged for leads outside our service hours?

No. Leads that fall outside your business hours can be disputed and credited, they aren't a cost you have to absorb.

Is there a contract or can we cancel anytime?

This runs month to month once your account is live and verified, no long-term contract required.
