1. Eligibility comes before placement
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 Service Ads also remain subject to Google Ads policies and Local Services requirements. A Rainbow Springs law firm should therefore treat Google Verified status as an eligibility question to verify, not as an automatic feature of engaging a marketing provider. The Florida Bar publishes lawyer advertising guidance, filing resources and checklists. The responsible attorney should review advertising decisions against applicable guidance; this page does not certify a campaign as compliant or provide legal advice.
Recommended approach
Before allocating budget, assemble the firm’s current business, license and insurance information, identify the responsible attorney, and confirm the applicable Google requirements for the selected legal category and service location. Ask Bosseo to review what is known, what still requires confirmation and which decisions must remain with the firm.
