a customer
contacts you.

Google Local Services Ads sit above every other result on Google — including regular ads. You get the Google Guaranteed badge, and you pay per lead, not per click. We achieved 26× ROAS for AtlasHC.

A fundamentally different
type of Google ad.

Most people have heard of Google Ads. GLSA is something different — and for local service businesses, it's significantly more powerful.

Regular Google Ads

Pay Per Click

  • You pay every time someone clicks — whether they contact you or not
  • Appears below GLSA results in search
  • No Google trust badge or verification
  • Click fraud and accidental clicks waste budget
  • Requires extensive keyword management
  • No lead dispute process if a call is irrelevant
Google Local Services Ads

Pay Per Lead

  • You only pay when a customer calls or messages you through the ad
  • Appears at the very top — above regular Google Ads and organic results
  • Google Guaranteed badge builds instant trust
  • No wasted spend on clicks that don't become contacts
  • Google handles matching — you just show up for relevant searches
  • Dispute irrelevant leads and get credits back

Everything from setup
to ongoing optimisation.

GLSA has a verification process that trips up most businesses — and ongoing management that most agencies ignore. We handle all of it.

🏅

Google Guaranteed setup

Getting the badge requires business verification, licence checks, insurance documentation, and background checks. We guide you through every step of the process so you don't get stuck or rejected.

🎯

Service & category targeting

GLSA only shows your ad for services you offer in your area. We configure your categories precisely — so you show up for the right jobs and don't pay for leads outside your service area or scope.

💰

Budget management

We manage your weekly budget to maximise lead volume without overspending. As your review count and response rate improve, your ranking within GLSA improves — which means more leads for the same budget.

🔁

Lead dispute management

Google allows you to dispute leads that were wrong service type, wrong area, or fraudulent — and get credits back. We monitor every lead and file disputes where warranted so your budget goes to real jobs.

From application to leads.

GLSA has more setup than regular ads — but once it's live, the quality of leads is unmatched.

01

Eligibility check

We confirm your business category qualifies for GLSA in Saskatchewan and review your existing ratings and documentation before applying.

02

Verification & badge

We handle the full Google verification — business licence, insurance, and background checks. This is where most businesses stall. We've done it before.

03

Campaign launch

Service categories set, budget configured, service area defined. You go live at the top of Google, showing only when someone searches for exactly what you offer.

04

Ongoing management

Monthly budget review, lead dispute filing, ranking optimisation, and reporting. Your GLSA position improves over time as reviews and response rate compound.

26× return. Real business. Saskatoon market.

GLSA questions.

Is my business eligible for GLSA?
GLSA is available for specific service categories — trades, home services, healthcare, legal, financial, and more. Most local service businesses in Saskatchewan qualify. We check your eligibility before we do anything else. If you're not eligible right now, we'll tell you what needs to change.
What counts as a "lead" that I pay for?
A lead is a phone call or message that comes through your GLSA ad. You only pay if the contact was for a service you offer, in your service area, during your business hours. Anything outside those criteria can be disputed — and we dispute them on your behalf to recover your budget.
How much does a GLSA lead cost?
Lead costs vary by category and market. Trades and home services in Saskatchewan typically range from $15–$80 per lead depending on the service. We'll give you a realistic estimate for your specific category after reviewing your eligibility. The 26× ROAS we achieved for AtlasHC tells you how these numbers can compound when the system is running well.
How long does the Google Guaranteed verification take?
Usually 2–4 weeks from application to badge, depending on how quickly documentation comes together. We've been through the process and know exactly what Google needs — we handle the coordination so it doesn't drag out longer than necessary.
Can I run GLSA alongside regular Google Ads?
Yes — and for many businesses it makes sense to do both. GLSA captures high-intent searchers at the top of the page on a pay-per-lead basis, while Google Search Ads can capture broader intent at the pay-per-click level. We can manage both if it makes sense for your budget and goals.
