Are Local Service Ads the same as regular Google Ads?+
No. Bosseo describes Local Service Ads as a pay-per-lead format, while regular pay-per-click advertising is a different product. Bosseo also describes LSA placement and ranking factors as distinct from ordinary search ads. Ask for a comparison based on your practice areas, service geography and intake capacity.
Does Corsicana’s population show that LSA will generate leads?+
No. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate for Corsicana is 25,511, with a margin of error of 34. That is population context only. It does not establish search demand, competition, lead volume, case volume or revenue.
Can my firm target Navarro County instead of only Corsicana?+
Geographic coverage should reflect the locations your firm actually serves. Bosseo’s public description includes service-area targeting, but the appropriate boundary depends on your firm’s practice, capacity and instructions. Review Corsicana, Navarro County and any wider coverage as separate decisions.
What does Google Verified involve?+
Google’s checks vary by practice category and account; review the current identity, licensing, insurance and business-verification requirements that apply to your firm. Screening is handled under Google’s requirements, so your firm should confirm the current information needed and should not assume approval before the process is complete.
How should we judge whether an LSA inquiry is useful?+
Define your own stages before launch or review: inquiry, contact, qualified matter, consultation and signed case. Record location and practice area where appropriate, and separate wrong numbers, spam, out-of-area contacts and unsuitable matters from qualified inquiries.
What happens when an inquiry is unsuitable or appears to be junk?+
Bosseo says its LSA service includes reviewing certain junk leads with Google, including wrong numbers, solicitors, spam, out-of-area matters and matters outside the selected practice area. Ask how your firm should document each issue and how credits or review decisions will be communicated.
