1. Start with Google’s actual eligibility rules
Google states that Local Services screening varies by service category, country and whether the 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. Google also requires advertisers to satisfy applicable screening and verification requirements and prohibits misleading representation. These rules do not establish that a particular Perry firm is eligible, verified or entitled to a Google Verified badge.
Recommended approach
Before planning spend, assemble the firm’s current business, licensing and insurance information for review by the responsible attorney and the person managing the account. Confirm the exact legal category, account structure and service location with Google’s current requirements. Treat eligibility as an open question until Google confirms it.
