We tried Google Ads for years with mixed results. LSAs are a game-changer—pay per lead, not per click. First Rank manages everything and we just focus on closing the jobs. Highly recommend!

Why Local Services Ads Are the Smartest Investment

Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) are the most cost-effective way to generate high-quality leads. Unlike traditional Google Ads where you pay for every click, LSAs charge you only when a customer contacts you directly. Plus, your business appears at the very top of search results with the trusted 'Google Guaranteed' badge—building instant credibility and trust. If you're a local service business (plumber, electrician, HVAC, locksmith, cleaner, etc.), LSAs are non-negotiable.

Our LSA Management Services

Account Setup & Google Guaranteed

We handle the entire LSA setup: business verification, license/insurance uploads, background checks, and Google Guaranteed badge approval. You get approved fast and start generating leads immediately.

Budget Management & Optimization

We set smart weekly budgets, adjust bids based on performance, and optimize your service areas and categories. You never overspend and every dollar goes toward qualified leads.

Review Generation & Reputation

LSA rankings are heavily influenced by reviews. We implement systems to generate authentic 5-star Google reviews from happy customers, boosting your visibility and trust.

Call Tracking & Lead Qualification

Track every lead, call duration, and conversion. We help you dispute invalid leads (spam calls, wrong service area) so you only pay for legitimate customers.

Performance Reporting

Transparent weekly reports showing leads generated, cost per lead, conversion rates, and ROI. You always know exactly what you're getting for your investment.

Ongoing Optimization & Support

We continuously optimize your profile, adjust service offerings based on demand, and respond to customer messages on your behalf. Your LSA account is always working at peak performance.

Our LSA Management Process

1. Eligibility Check & Account Setup

First, we verify your business is eligible for LSAs (must be a local service business with proper licensing and insurance). Then we create your LSA account, upload all required documents, and submit for Google Guaranteed verification. Most businesses are approved within 1-2 weeks.

We handle all the tedious paperwork: license verification, insurance certificates, background check coordination, and business profile setup. You just provide the documents—we do the rest.

2. Profile Optimization & Category Selection

Your LSA profile is your storefront. We optimize every element: business name, description, service areas, hours, photos, and service categories. Choosing the right categories is critical—too broad and you waste money on unqualified leads; too narrow and you miss opportunities.

We also optimize your booking preferences: do you want calls, messages, or both? What's your availability? We tailor everything to match how your business actually operates.

3. Budget & Bidding Strategy

LSAs work on a pay-per-lead model with weekly budgets. We set conservative starting budgets, monitor performance, and scale up as we prove ROI. We also adjust bids for different service types—emergency services typically convert better and justify higher bids.

We track which service categories and zip codes generate the best leads, then reallocate budget accordingly. This ensures you're not wasting money on low-value leads.

4. Review Generation & Ranking Boost

LSA rankings are influenced by your Google review count and rating. Businesses with 50+ reviews and 4.5+ ratings get priority placement. We implement a review generation system: automated follow-ups after completed jobs, QR codes for easy review submission, and professional response to all reviews.

More reviews = higher rankings = more leads. It's a virtuous cycle.

5. Lead Management & Dispute Resolution

Not all leads are created equal. We monitor every incoming call and message, tracking duration and customer intent. If you receive spam calls, wrong service area requests, or robocalls, we dispute them with Google to get your money back.

We also provide weekly reports showing: total leads, cost per lead, conversion rate, disputed leads, and ROI. You always know what's working and what's not.

Why LSAs Beat Traditional Google Ads for Local Businesses

If you've been running Google Ads, you know the frustration: paying $10-50 per click, watching your budget drain on tire-kickers who never call, and competing with national chains that can outspend you 10:1. LSAs solve all of this.

Pay Per Lead, Not Per Click

With traditional PPC, you pay every time someone clicks your ad—regardless of whether they call, convert, or even load the page. With LSAs, you only pay when a customer calls or messages you directly. No more budget bleed from accidental clicks or competitors clicking your ads.

Appear at the Very Top (Above Everything)

LSAs appear above Google Ads, above the Map Pack, above organic results. Your business is literally the first thing customers see when they search for your services. And with the 'Google Guaranteed' badge, you instantly stand out from competitors.

Higher Trust = Higher Conversion Rates

The Google Guaranteed badge is a massive trust signal. It tells customers that Google has verified your business, checked your licenses and insurance, and will cover up to $2,000 if something goes wrong. This level of trust means customers are more likely to call you first—and more likely to hire you.

Lower Cost Per Acquisition

Our clients consistently see 50-70% lower cost per acquisition with LSAs compared to traditional Google Ads. You're paying for intent, not traffic. Every lead has already decided they need your service—they're just choosing which business to hire.

Perfect for Service Businesses

LSAs are designed specifically for local service businesses: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, locksmiths, cleaners, landscapers, pest control, and more. If you're a service business that serves a specific geographic area, LSAs are your best marketing investment.

Combine LSAs with our local SEO services and Google Maps optimization for maximum local visibility. When you dominate LSAs, the Map Pack, and organic results, competitors can't compete.

Local Services Ads FAQs

How much do Local Services Ads cost?

LSAs work on a pay-per-lead model. You set a weekly budget (typically $200-500 to start) and only pay when a customer contacts you—either via phone call or message. Cost per lead varies by industry and location but typically ranges from $15-75. This is significantly cheaper than paying $10-50 per click with traditional PPC.

What is Google Guaranteed and how do I get it?

Google Guaranteed is a badge that appears on your LSA profile, signaling to customers that Google has verified your business, checked your licenses and insurance, and will cover up to $2,000 if something goes wrong. To qualify, you must pass a background check, provide license and insurance documentation, and maintain good reviews. We handle the entire verification process for you.

How long does it take to get approved for LSAs?

Most businesses are approved within 1-2 weeks. The process includes business verification, license/insurance document review, and background checks. We expedite this by ensuring all documents are submitted correctly the first time—no back-and-forth delays.

Can I dispute leads that aren't qualified?

Yes! If you receive spam calls, robocalls, or calls outside your service area, you can dispute them within 30 days and get a refund. We actively monitor your leads and dispute any that don't meet Google's quality standards. This protects your budget from invalid charges.

Do LSAs work better than Google Ads?

For local service businesses, yes—LSAs typically deliver better ROI because you only pay for qualified leads (not clicks). You also get better placement (above everything else) and higher trust (Google Guaranteed badge). We recommend running both: LSAs for immediate leads and SEO/Google Ads for long-term brand building.

What industries are eligible for Local Services Ads?

LSAs are available for most local service businesses: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, locksmiths, garage door repair, appliance repair, house cleaning, window cleaning, pest control, lawn care, landscaping, moving companies, junk removal, painters, and more. If you're a licensed service business, you likely qualify.
