What are Google’s new Local Service Ads?
Google’s new Local Service Ads are a new way for local service businesses to connect with customers who are looking for their services. The ads are tailored to the customer’s local area and are only shown to customers who are within a certain distance of the business. The ads appear at the top of Google search results and include ratings, reviews, and other relevant information about the business. Businesses can pay for the ads on a pay-per-lead basis and will only be charged if a customer contacts them.

LSAs are designed to provide a convenient and trustworthy way for customers to find and hire local service providers, such as dentists, and to help these providers attract more business. To qualify for LSAs, service providers must meet certain eligibility criteria and undergo a background check and screening process to ensure their credibility.
