Are Local Services Ads the same as regular Google Ads?+
No. Bosseo describes Local Services Ads as appearing above regular ads and the map, with pay-per-lead pricing rather than pay-per-click pricing. Placement, eligibility and ranking remain subject to Google’s rules and do not guarantee an inquiry.
Can a Springdale firm target both Benton County and Washington County?+
The Census record identifies both county relationships for Springdale city. Whether your firm should target either county, both, or only selected locations is a business and practice decision. Review the boundary with Bosseo using the places your firm actually serves.
What does Google Screened involve?+
Bosseo’s public LSA page describes license verification, insurance documentation and background checks as part of the screening process. The firm should confirm the current requirements and provide accurate documentation. Screening does not guarantee ranking, leads or retained matters.
How should we judge whether the program is working?+
Do not rely only on impressions or lead count. Define valid inquiry, consultation and signed-matter statuses, then review lead quality, response handling and downstream outcomes. Bosseo describes attribution and an ROI Dashboard for connecting lead activity with consultations and signed cases; ask what information will be available for your firm.
What happens to wrong-number or out-of-area inquiries?+
Bosseo says its LSA service disputes junk leads such as wrong numbers, spam and out-of-area or wrong-practice inquiries. Confirm the dispute criteria, documentation and review process for your account. Do not assume every disputed inquiry will be credited.
What should we decide before booking a consultation?+
Bring your approved service area, practice categories, excluded matter types, intake owner, current response process and preferred outcome definitions. Also identify the budget boundaries you are willing to discuss. These decisions allow the consultation to focus on fit rather than on an assumed lead or revenue result.
