Local Service Ads for home-service businesses

Local Service Ads managed so you pay for real leads only

Get the Google Guaranteed badge at the very top of search, then keep your ranking high and your bad leads disputed.

What is Local Service Ads for home-service businesses?

Local Service Ads are Google’s pay-per-lead ads for home-service businesses, shown above regular ads with a Google Guaranteed or Screened badge. You pay for each lead, not each click. Ranking depends on reviews, responsiveness, proximity and business hours, and invalid leads can be disputed for credit.

The problem

Why Local Service Ads goes wrong for most trades

Stuck in verification

Background checks, licences and insurance documents stall many trades for weeks.

Paying for junk leads

Wrong-service and spam calls get charged unless someone disputes them.

Low ranking in the ad

Missed calls and slow replies push you below competitors in the same ad slot.
