1. Start with eligibility, not a promised placement
Google says Local Services screening varies by service category, country and whether a provider advertises directly or through an affiliate. Depending on the account and category, checks may include business, owner or professional background checks, license checks, insurance checks and advanced verification. Google also requires compliance with applicable policies and Local Services requirements. the cited sources do not establish that your firm is eligible, verified or entitled to a particular position.
Recommended approach
Treat eligibility as a decision gate. Review the firm’s actual legal category, license information, insurance documentation, business details and service locations against Google’s current requirements before planning spend. Bosseo can help organize an eligibility review and identify information to confirm; the responsible attorney should review advertising questions with Florida Bar resources and counsel as appropriate.
