Does Bosseo manage geographic targeting for Local Service Ads?+
Bosseo’s public LSA description identifies service zones and geography targeting as program-management areas. In a consultation, ask how Crawford, Orange County and any additional areas would be evaluated for your firm.
How are Local Service Ads different from regular pay-per-click ads?+
Bosseo describes Local Service Ads as appearing in a different placement and charging per lead rather than per click. The public description also says reviews, responsiveness, profile quality and other factors affect placement. It does not guarantee a position or result.
What should count as a qualified lead?+
That is a firm-specific decision. You should define whether the inquiry involves an accepted practice area, an eligible location, a viable consultation and the information needed for attorney review. Establish the definition before judging performance.
Can questionable leads be flagged?+
Bosseo says it reviews certain junk leads with Google, including wrong numbers, solicitors, spam, out-of-area matters and wrong-practice inquiries. Ask how your firm’s records will support a review and how any credit would be confirmed. No credit outcome is promised here.
What should we measure after an inquiry arrives?+
Track the stages that matter to your firm, such as received inquiry, screened inquiry, consultation, completed consultation, signed matter and excluded contact. Bosseo describes lead-to-case tracking and an ROI Dashboard; confirm the exact reporting scope and the data your firm must maintain.
