FAQs about Local Service Ads in Austin

What are Google Local Service Ads?

Google LSAs are pay-per-lead ads that appear at the very top of Google search results above regular Google Ads. You only pay when a customer contacts you directly through the ad (call, message, or booking). They include the Google Guaranteed badge for instant trust.

How much do Local Service Ads cost?

LSAs operate on a pay-per-lead basis. Lead costs vary by industry and market typically $15-75 per lead for home services. Our management fee starts at $500/month plus your ad budget. You set your weekly budget cap.

What's the Google Guaranteed badge?

Google Guaranteed means Google has verified your business through license checks and background screening. If a customer is unsatisfied, Google may refund them up to the job invoice amount. This badge builds instant consumer trust.

Can I run LSAs alongside Google Ads?

Yes and we recommend it. LSAs appear above Google Ads, so running both gives you maximum search real estate. We coordinate both campaigns to avoid cannibalization and maximize lead volume.

How do you handle bad leads?

We monitor every lead in real-time. Invalid contacts (spam, wrong area, services you don't offer) are disputed with Google within 72 hours. Most businesses recover 20-30% of their budget through proper dispute management.
