Let’s Talk Google Local Services
As a business owner you have probably have heard of Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords). You’ve probably heard other business owners who have said that Google Ads can be spendy. Well, they’re not wrong, but they’re not right either. Google Ads have their place in the world of digital advertising, and when done right the long term benefits can really outweigh the costs.
So why even consider Google Local Services ads?
1. They’re Straightforward
Once your business is verified (more on that later) you can take each service you provide and set the budget for that service. Basically, how much you want to pay for each lead. Then, set your final budget and those calls you pay for (ALSO MORE ON THAT LATER) will start coming in! Higher the budget, the more the calls. Like we said, pretty straightforward.
2. Credibility
Who doesn’t love credibility? So here’s the thing, every single business that wants to run Local Services Ads means has to be verified. That means background checks on all employees for the business, license checks for whatever services you’re providing and insurance checks to make sure that you’re credible and covered. Once all of this is passed (it’s a process….trust us..) you will receive the “Google Guaranteed” green check mark of approval and be on your way to running ads in no time!
3. Qualified Leads
Arguably the best thing about Google Local Services ads is the ability for it to generate what Google calls “Qualified Leads”. These leads that come through Google guarantees to be qualified. Why? Because YOU’RE PAYING FOR THEM! These leads generated are calls to your business. Now here’s the best part… If those leads are not qualified, they can then be disputed and you will then receive your money back from that lead that was generated that you paid for. Awesome right? We thought so too.
