Description
Local Services ads make it easy for service providers, like electricians and plumbers, to get found online and get more jobs. Get seen at the top of Google, and get high quality leads from consumers that are looking for services like yours. All Local Services providers are vetted by Google, so you can quickly build trust with customers who need your services. Ads are easy to set up and you pay per lead, so you only pay for leads relevant to your business. Most leads are phone-based so can you connect with customers on-the-go.
In the app you can:
- Manage leads
- Communicate with customers
- View reports to track how your leads convert
- Read and request reviews
- Update your ad
- Manage your advertising budget

Ratings and Reviews
Was good to start with
Been using almost a year now originally this new version of ads was brilliant it was expensive always but I felt the customers brought in made it worth the cost, unfortunately the last couple month a large number of companies that seriously over charge customers I’m talking 550 pounds for a ball valve pricing is making it very difficult to see the google guarantee as a badge to be proud of as google seems to prioritise these companies at the top as they must spend more money with them but it really is a shame that what started as a great new product is now 80% conmen
Area
The area section is not working on the app . No save section visible
Not fit for purpose
The whole purpose of this mobile app is to allow you to connect with customers while you’re on the move , take enquiries through voice calls and messages and input their information into the booking page if they wish confirm an appointment.
I have received countless requests from customers who have messaged me asking for a quote, however when you reply to them using the app the email that is sent invariably lands in their junk or spam folder and never seen again unless they check those folders.
Often customers who message do not leave a contact number so it is impossible to make any other contact with them.
Google charge you for this lead even though you can’t respond.
I contacted the local service support team to ask for help and their only solution was that I should turn off the messaging facility only receive phone calls ?
Another suggestion was to delete the app and reinstall it ( l did, but it didn’t work).
Therefore my line of communication with customers is cut in half.
When you receive a call from customers by phone and they would like to book an appointment with you the booking page does not allow you to save their details after completing all the data fields.
There should be a NEXT icon on the top of the page which you should click to save the information and confirm the booking but this no longer appears as it once did?
In conclusion, the app is not fit for purpose and needs a major upgrade.
I have made several calls to the local service business team to get help but they haven’t got a clue .
When you’re paying for leads you need a system that works flawlessly and this doesn’t.
