Google Local Service Ads — show up at the top of Google searches (but only pay for real leads)
Google Local Service Ads (LSAs) put your business above everything else in search results — above regular ads, above the Map Pack, above organic listings. And unlike traditional Google pay-per-click ads, you only pay when a potential customer actually contacts you.
Explaining LSAs
What are Local Service Ads? (in plain English)
Google Local Service Ads are a pay-per-lead advertising program designed specifically for local service businesses. When someone in your area searches for a service you offer, your ad appears at the very top of Google with your business name, reviews, and a “Google Guaranteed” or “Google Screened” badge.
The best part? You only pay when someone calls or messages you through the ad. No clicks that go nowhere. And no wasted budget on people who were never going to hire you.
