1. Start with eligibility, not geography alone
Google says Local Services screening varies by service category, country and whether a provider advertises directly or through an affiliate. Google’s checks vary by practice category and account; review the current identity, licensing, insurance and business-verification requirements that apply to your firm. Local Services Ads also remain subject to Google Ads policies and Local Services requirements. A law firm serving Inverness Highlands South is not automatically eligible because it is located in Florida or because it serves Citrus County.

Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the actual account, legal category, documentation and intended service area against Google’s current requirements. Have the responsible Florida attorney review advertising decisions with the Florida Bar’s guidance and resources; this page is not legal advice and does not certify a campaign as compliant.
