1. Start with eligibility, not assumptions
Google says Local Services screening varies by service category, country and provider arrangement. Google’s checks vary by practice category and account; review the current identity, licensing, insurance and business-verification requirements that apply to your firm. 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 Verified 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.
