What to Know About Local Service Ads

Pick a topic to see what matters most.

What Are Google Local Service Ads?

Google Local Service Ads are a pay-per-lead advertising format that connects local businesses with nearby customers searching for their services. Google places these ads in a dedicated block above both standard Google Ads and organic search results, giving eligible businesses the most visible position on the results page. Businesses pay only when a real lead comes through, meaning a phone call or a direct message, rather than for clicks or impressions. Eligible providers earn a Google Guaranteed badge or a Google Screened badge after passing a background check and a license and insurance review, and the badge signals verified trustworthiness to searchers evaluating local providers.

How Do Local Service Ads Work?

Local Service Ads bill businesses per qualified lead, charging only when a searcher calls or sends a message through the ad. Google routes each call through a tracking phone number that forwards directly to the business, connecting the searcher to the provider in real time.

Local Service Ads or Google Ads?

Local Service Ads and Google Ads differ across billing structure, placement, verification, and targeting control, as the comparison below outlines.

DimensionLocal Service AdsGoogle Ads
Billing modelPay-per-lead, with charges applying only for calls or messagesPay-per-click, with charges applying for every click regardless of contact
PlacementDedicated block above Google Ads and organic resultsStandard ad slots above or beside organic results
Verification badgeRequires Google Guaranteed or Google Screened verificationNo verification badge required
Targeting controlLimited to service categories, ZIP codes, and service radiusGranular keyword, audience, and bidding controls

What Is the Google Verified Badge?

The Google Verified badge marks a business as Google Guaranteed or Google Screened, depending on industry category, after the business clears a background check and, where applicable, a license and insurance review. Home-service providers display Google Guaranteed, while professional-service providers such as law firms display Google Screened, and both badges function as a trust signal that reassures searchers of vetted credibility.
