Google is Rolling out LSAs and "Google Screened" to Select Professional Services Nationally
Local Services Ads (LSAs) have been a massive success for Google. After a successful trial run Google conducted in August with select professional services categories, Google has formally decided to roll out LSAs for professional services nationally.
Although we have many professional services categories, it will be initially available to lawyers, real estate agents, financial planners, and tax preparers. Businesses in these categories interested in Local Services should be checking the form to see if their area is currently available for onboarding!
LSA advertisers must meet a minimum review score (3 stars or higher) and be Google Guaranteed or Google Screened. Both of them involve licence and background checks. Google Guaranteed offers a limited money-back guarantee if the consumers aren't satisfied. However, the same doesn't extend to services under Google Screened.
