be a great tool to help boost your presence in nearby search engine results and reach potential clients. Google\u2019s Local Service Ads (LSAs) are a specialized form of Google Ads that allow local businesses to promote their services in the \u201cLocal Services\u201d section on the search engine results page. LSAs are intended to help local service providers gain visibility and be more easily discoverable by potential customers than other search results.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:22px;color:#fcb900;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_baace5-ba kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_ea7a82-37\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Purpose\u00a0of Local Service Ads<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Local Service Ads allow local businesses to advertise their services directly on Google without competing with larger companies or national brands for visibility. Small business owners can gain greater exposure and connect with prospective customers who may have yet to learn about their offerings by utilizing LSAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local Service Ads connect users with local service providers based on keywords they use in their searches. When someone searches for a particular type of service, such as &#8220;plumber near me&#8221; or &#8220;landscaping company,&#8221; Google will display ads from relevant businesses in the area at the top of the page. These ads will provide customers with data about each business, such as customer ratings and reviews, contact info, and pricing information, enabling them to evaluate different services available in the area before deciding.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:22px;color:#fcb900;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_02853b-a9 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_db1da2-92\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Benefits Of Local Service Ads<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main benefits of using Local Service Ads is that they provide targeted exposure for local businesses that may otherwise be overlooked due to a lack of resources or budget constraints compared to larger competitors. Additionally, these ads offer increased visibility since they appear prominently at the top of search engine results on pages rather than being buried beneath organic listings or competing advertisements from bigger companies. Because these ads require payment only when someone clicks through them instead of traditional pay-per-click models like AdWords campaigns, they provide cost savings over time while still providing effective lead-generation opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9f0fd9-9d\"><strong>How to Set Up a Google Local Service Ad Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up a Google Local Service Ad account is essential to local marketing for any business. It allows businesses to target potential customers in their local area and increase visibility. To get started, create a Google Local Service Ad account to reach local customers and increase visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#<strong>1. Create Your Profile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by creating your profile on the Google My Business page, which will be the foundation for your Local Service Ads (LSAs). Accurately list your business&#8217;s details like contact info, area, services rendered, work hours, etc. Make sure to include relevant keywords in your profile that accurately describe what you offer so that customers can easily find you when searching online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#<strong>2. List Services Offered<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Please list all your services on your LSA profile page so potential customers know exactly what they&#8217;re getting when hiring you. Include descriptions of each service with detailed pricing information so that customers clearly understand how much it costs to work with you before committing to anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#<strong>3. Verify Your Business Information &amp; Location<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Verify your business information and location using a postcard or phone verification process provided by Google My Business (GMB). This step is important because it ensures accuracy and helps prevent fraudsters from taking advantage of LSAs without permission from legitimate businesses like yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#<strong>4. Set Up Payment Methods &amp; Budgets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once verified, set up payment methods such as credit cards or PayPal accounts to pay for ads through <a href=\"https:\/\/sapinsider.org\/vendor-showcase\/gmb-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">GMB&#8217;s billing system<\/a> and create budgets based on how much money you&#8217;re willing to spend per month or campaign period on LSAs. You can also set daily caps or weekly limits depending on what works best for your budgeting needs &#8211; stay within them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Remember best practices when optimizing campaigns, such as choosing relevant keywords, writing compelling ad copy, setting reasonable budgets, and bidding strategies.

Not verifying business information or location is one of the most important steps in setting up your campaign, and if it needs to be done correctly, your ads will appear in searches. Additionally, optimizing your campaigns properly is essential for getting the best results. You need to choose the right keywords and categories for your ads and write compelling ad copy that will convert into sales or leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another mistake to avoid when running Google Local Service Ads is not responding to customer reviews or messages on time. Reviews can significantly influence how people view your business online, so responding promptly and demonstrating that you value their feedback is important. Responding quickly shows potential customers that you care about their feedback and value their opinion. Ignoring them could lead to positive reviews, which could help your reputation with potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s also important to stay up-to-date with changes in advertising policies, so you know what rules apply when running Google Local Service Ads campaigns. Knowing what restrictions exist can help ensure compliance while maximizing performance at the same time by targeting only relevant audiences who may be interested in purchasing from you or engaging with content related to your services or products offered through this platform.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_676867-a1,
