FAQ’s
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
What makes LSA different from Google Ads or Meta Ads?
LSA uses a pay-per-lead model, so businesses pay for qualified leads, and it is limited to a few eligible business categories. Google Ads and Meta Ads use different advertising models. Many of our clients use LSA alongside either Google Ads or Meta Ads, both of which are handled by our paid advertising team.
How can I confirm if I qualify for LSA?
Google has provided a list of supported categories covering a wide range of professional services and health and wellness businesses in available locations. Our local ads agency can do a free eligibility check to find out whether you qualify.
What has to be done to obtain a Google Verified badge?
Your business must undergo a background check and prove that you have the necessary licenses and insurance for your area of expertise. Usually, the process takes from a few days to weeks, but for categories that undergo stricter background checks, the process may take a bit longer.
What is the cost of a lead?
Lead costs vary depending on things like your location, job type, and which category your business falls under. There are some industries that are usually more competitive and may cost more, while slower markets incur lower costs.
Will I be able to dispute an unqualified lead?
Yes, you can dispute leads involving spam calls and wrong numbers when they meet Google's applicable eligibility criteria for a credit.

Many businesses overlook their eligibility for LSA because they believe it’s only for big companies with plenty to spend. That’s not the case: Local Service Ads can also work for small businesses, like a plumber with a truck or a house-cleaning service looking for relevant customers to call.
