FAQs

LSA Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about Local Services Ads.

Local Services Ads sit at the very top of Google — above regular Google Ads — and you pay per lead rather than per click. They carry the Google Guaranteed badge, show your review rating in the ad, and are ranked by reviews, responsiveness and proximity rather than keyword bids. Google Ads gives you more control and reach across campaign types; LSA gives you top placement and a trust signal for high-intent local searches. Many local businesses run both.

Google Guaranteed is a badge shown on Local Services Ads for businesses that have passed Google’s verification — including background, license and insurance checks. It signals to customers that Google stands behind the business, and it typically comes with a customer guarantee backed by Google. The badge is one of the biggest reasons LSA leads convert so well.

You pay per lead, not per click, and you set a weekly budget. The cost per lead varies by industry and area — competitive categories cost more per lead than quieter ones. Because you only pay for genuine leads, and because invalid leads can be disputed, the model tends to be efficient for local service businesses. We manage the budget to keep your cost per lead as low as possible.

Google supports LSA for specific service categories — trades like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing and cleaning, plus professionals such as lawyers and real estate agents, among others — and availability varies by country and region. The first thing we do is confirm whether your business qualifies in your area, so book a call and we’ll check for you.
