Get a Free LSA ReviewWhat are Google Local Services Ads, and who are they for?
Local Services Ads (LSA) are Google ads that appear at the very top of search results with a Google Screened badge. You pay per lead, such as a phone call or message, rather than per click. To qualify, Google verifies your law license and runs background checks. LSA is for consumer practices like personal injury, family, criminal defense, immigration and estate planning that want affordable, high-trust leads.

FAQ
Local Services Ads questions
What does Google Screened mean for lawyers?
It means Google has verified the attorney's license and completed background checks. The badge appears on your ad and helps searchers trust you before they call.
How much does a Local Services Ads lead cost?
It varies by practice area and city. Personal injury leads usually cost much more than estate planning leads. You set a weekly budget, and Google charges only for valid leads.
Can I get money back for bad leads?
Yes. Google lets you dispute leads that don't fit, such as spam, wrong practice areas or job seekers, and credits approved disputes. We review and dispute leads every week.
How does Google decide which firm shows first?
Key factors include how close you are to the searcher, your number of reviews and rating, how quickly you respond to leads, your business hours and how often you dispute or decline leads.
Should I run Local Services Ads and Google Ads together?
Often, yes. LSA gives low-cost, high-trust leads at the very top of the page, and Google Ads adds control and reach for more searches. Together they cover more of the results page.
How long does verification take?
Commonly a few weeks, depending on how quickly documents are submitted and the background checks clear. We keep the process moving.
