  • What are local service ads?
    Local Service Ads is a newer program by Google that allows advertisers to achieve a "Google Guaranteed" status in search engines when a visitor makes a search. Advertisers who participate in Google Local Service Ads will receive a larger ad space with their competitor's local services ads and they will be able to feature their local businesses throughout organic search queries. This program allows local business owners to compete for local customers and it gives them more authority than competing advertisers due to the size of the listing.
    How do google local service ads work?
    Local Service Ads work differently than traditional Google Ads. Google local service ads will not directly affect traditional local listings or organic local listings. The LSA program was built so that local business owners could compete for local customers without having to worry about competing businesses driving their local rankings down. When a customer searches for local services, the local service ad is displayed first and all other local business ads are then displayed.
    What businesses are eligible for local service ads?
    At this time not every business is eligible for Local Service Ads. The following types of businesses are eligible:
    Home services
    Legal services
    Finance professionals
    What is the process of getting listed on local service ads?
    The process to get listed in local service ads is simple. All local business owners have to do is visit the LSA sign up page and fill out a short questionnaire for Google to get started. After filling out the form, you will submit your documents to Google proving you are licensed, insured, and can pass a criminal background check.
    How much do local service ads cost?
    Local service ads are free for local business owners to participate in. Google will not charge local business owners to utilize local service ads, but the LSA program is designed in a way that makes advertisers pay when they get a qualified lead through their program. Local business owners who pay for higher ad placement often end up taking away local customers due to their bidding plan. Most advertisers have reported paying around $65 per lead.
    Are local service ads call only?
    No, local service ads will display a map of local business listings and they will include a phone number to each local business listing. This is important for local business owners because it allows them to receive calls from customers who are not considering their competitors during local search queries. But the ads also list your website and have a messaging option as well.
    How can I check how my ads are performing in local service ads?
    You can check the performance of your local service ads by going to the local service ads dashboard and checking your ad performance. The local service ads dashboard shows you how many leads were generated through an ad, which is helpful for local business owners that are trying to compare their local listings versus their competitors. You can additionally, dispute bad contacts through the program so you are not charged a fee per lead.

    Hi Ruan, I run ads for a Commercial Roofing company and I set up local services ads for my client and we are getting a lot of calls, the only problem is we are getting leads for residential projects and not the commercial roofing I intended. is there a way to only show upo for people looking for commercial roofing services? thanks!

    • @rubenbalboa9094
      @rubenbalboa9094 Год назад

      I would say target other commercial roofing company’s, or commercial real estate agents on Facebook, or property insurance owners that sell roofing policies to restaurants and hotels, apartment complexes etc. To get them to call that company to do the job whenever they get a client that needs a new commercial roof for a commercial property.

    The issue with Google Guarantee is that anyone can farm reviews. The service does not sticks to leads that you provided a service. Anyone can go on your Guaranteed profile and post FALSE or POSITVE reviews. Malicious competition, the average Karen or companies that make a living out of Ads management can create false profiles in matter of seconds and either hide your listing out of existance or boost it. The review team does close to nothing to verify the listings and they are never available on the phone and when they reply your email is always to indicate that the review does not violate policy even thought is a false review spreading false information
