Are Local Services Ads the same as regular Google Ads?+
No. Bosseo describes Local Services Ads as appearing above regular ads and the map, using pay-per-lead pricing rather than pay-per-click pricing. It also describes different ranking considerations, including reviews, responsiveness, profile quality, proximity, hours, and budget. Ask for a comparison based on your firm’s goals rather than assuming one channel is automatically better.
Can a Spring Valley campaign include all of Clark County?+
The appropriate scope depends on the locations your firm serves and the configuration reviewed for the campaign. Spring Valley CDP and Clark County are different geographic references. Ask Bosseo to separate those areas in the review and confirm how service zones will be handled.
What does Google Screened involve?+
Bosseo’s public page says Google verifies a firm’s license, insurance, and background information. The page does not guarantee approval or specify your firm’s timing. Ask which documents apply to your firm and what happens if Google requests additional information.
Will I pay for every call?+
Bosseo describes Local Services Ads as pay per lead rather than pay per click. It also says unsuitable leads such as wrong numbers, solicitors, spam, out-of-area inquiries, or wrong-practice-area matters can be disputed for credit. Ask how a lead is defined, what evidence is needed, and how credits are reflected.
What information should my firm measure?+
At minimum, define the path from inquiry to eligible inquiry, consultation, and signed matter. Bosseo describes lead-to-case tracking and an ROI Dashboard, but the public page does not provide your firm’s expected volume, costs, or return. Agree on definitions and reporting ownership before judging the program.
What if our team cannot answer every paid call?+
Responsiveness is described by Bosseo as one factor Google weighs, and missed calls can also reduce the value of a paid inquiry. Review your coverage, follow-up process, and after-hours handling. Bosseo also presents AI Answering as a related service, but you should decide whether that option fits your firm after discussing how calls, information, and handoffs would be handled.
