What are google local services ads?
Google Local Services Ads (LSA) are targeted ads that appear next to relevant search results. When potential customers search for pest control services, your business stands out in a special box of ads. Not only do these searches bring more leads and clicks to your website, but they also give you the chance to build trust with local clients through reviews and ratings.
With Google LSA, your pest control company only pays when a customer clicks on your ad, making it an affordable and effective way to reach customers searching for the services you offer. In contrast, pay-per-click advertising charges you for each click, no matter if the user completes a purchase or not.
This is a sample of the average costs and rates of Local Services Ads and pay-per-click advertising for pest control services:
| PLUMBING SERVICES | Average Cost Per Lead | Average Click-Through Rate | Average Cost Per Click | Average Cost Per Call |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Services Ads | $39.25 | 4.31% | $6.55 | $51.94 |
| Pay-Per-Click | $66.69 | 0.09% | $5.42 | $70.11 |
Based on this table, investing in Google LSA yields a higher click-through rate while keeping costs to a minimum. Additionally, the call rate for pest control services is considerably higher when using Google LSA compared to pay-per-click. This makes Google LSA a great option for businesses in the home services industry looking to get more quality leads and increase their return on ad spend.
The Google LSA dashboard allows you to showcase specific services, target relevant geographical locations, and optimize your budget. With Google LSA, you only pay for booked calls made through the platform. This allows you to adjust your budget according to performance, and get the most out of your ad spend.
The Buzz on Google LSA
Whether you’re just getting started with online advertising or already have a presence in the market, Google LSA can be tailored to help you get the most out of your ad budget. With flexible targeting options and competitive pricing, it’s an ideal solution for businesses looking to increase their leads and conversions.
Here are some of the benefits that pest control businesses can expect to gain from Real Time Marketing's Google LSA package:
-
Increased visibility in search results
Google LSA propels your pest control business to the forefront of search results, making sure that when potential clients search for pest control services, your business is among the first they encounter. This heightened visibility increases the likelihood of capturing the attention of individuals seeking immediate pest solutions.
-
Increased trust and credibility
The inclusion of the Google Guaranteed badge in your LSA builds trust and credibility with potential clients. This badge serves as a seal of assurance, signifying that your pest control services have been vetted by Google. This not only instills confidence but also positions your business as a trustworthy option in a competitive market.
-
Improvеd lеad quality
Google LSA attracts leads that are specifically interested in pest control services. These are individuals actively seeking solutions to their pest problems. As a result, the leads generated through LSA are more likely to convert into actual clients, enhancing the overall quality of your lead pipeline.
-
Cost-effective advertising
With Google LSA, you only pay when a potential client contacts you directly through your LSA. This eliminates the cost associated with clicks that may not result in actual business. By focusing on tangible leads, you ensure that your advertising budget is spent efficiently, targeting individuals actively seeking pest control services.
-
Easy lead management
Google LSA comes equipped with a user-friendly lead management system, streamlining the process of tracking and responding to leads. This helps you to efficiently manage inquiries, promptly respond to potential clients, and stay organized in handling the influx of pest control service requests.
-
Access to performance data
One of the strengths of Google LSA is the access it provides to valuable performance data. From the number of leads generated to conversion rates and other key metrics, you gain insights into the effectiveness of your advertising campaigns. This data-driven approach empowers you to refine your strategy, optimize your budget, and continuously improve your pest control business's online presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike other digital advertising platforms, Google LSA has a cost-per-lead model. This means that you will pay for each customer who contacts you through the platform, rather than paying per impression or click. This makes it easier to budget and plan for your pest control business’s digital advertising costs. The exact cost will depend on factors such as region, market size, and competition from other companies in your industry. However, you can expect to pay anywhere from $20-$50 per lead. You can also benefit from the Google Guarantee, which helps ensure that customers are satisfied with your services.
