In today’s digital world, being visible online is only the first step. Service-based businesses now need to be present where it matters most—at the top of local search results. That’s where Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) come in. Unlike traditional SEO or PPC, LSAs connect you with qualified leads—people who are actively searching for a specific service in their area and are ready to book.
Google Local Services Ads are paid ad listings that show at the top of Google, even above Google Ads (formerly AdWords) and organic results. They’re designed specifically for service providers—from home services and real estate to garage door repair and electricians.
Each Ad features:
Business name
Google Guaranteed or Screened badge
Customer reviews
Business hours and phone number
Service areas
Easy “call” or “message” buttons
These elements inspire immediate trust and reduce friction, encouraging customers to reach out quickly.
The result? You pay-per-lead, not per click. That means your budget goes toward real potential customers—not just traffic.
To appear in Local Services Ads, your business must go through a background check and meet eligibility criteria. Depending on your industry, you'll qualify for either:
Google Guaranteed: Ideal for most home service providers like plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs. This badge offers up to $2,000 in claim reimbursements if a customer is
unsatisfied.
Google Screened: Common in industries like law, real estate, and financial services. It shows your business has passed Google’s screening but doesn’t offer the satisfaction guarantee.
Having a Google Guaranteed badge or Screened badge helps increase trust, improve your ad ranking, and close more deals.
