1. Start with eligibility, not assumptions
Google says Local Services screening varies by service category, country and provider arrangement. Requirements may include business, owner or professional background checks, license checks, insurance checks and advanced verification. Google also states that Local Services Ads must comply with its advertising policies and applicable Local Services requirements. A Palm Beach Gardens law firm should therefore verify the actual category, account, service area and documentation requirements before treating a Google Screened badge or launch date as available. Bosseo can review the qualification path and help organize the account discussion, but neither Palm Beach Gardens location nor law-firm status alone proves eligibility.
Recommended approach
Make eligibility a written go/no-go item. Have the responsible attorney review advertising considerations and the firm’s documentation before launch. Confirm what Google currently requires for the specific practice categories and locations you want to advertise.
