Google Local Services Ads management from Honest Pixel Studio: we set up and run the ads at the very top of Google that show your reviews, the Google Verified badge and a button to call you.
The Google Verified badge replaced the Google Guaranteed and Google Screened badges in October 2025, so if you had one of those, this is the same program. With Local Services Ads you pay for leads, not clicks. We handle the account and profile setup, watch the leads that come in, and dispute the ones that shouldn't count against you.
Google offers Local Services Ads for a set list of business types: mostly home services such as plumbers, electricians, HVAC, cleaning and roofing companies, plus some professional services like lawyers and real estate agents. Your business has to pass Google's background and license checks before the ads can run, and we help you through them.
We manage Local Services Ads for businesses across St. Louis and St. Charles County, and many run them alongside search ads. We handle both, so see our Google Ads management if you want the two working together.
Why Local Services Ads
Why run Local Services Ads?
For service businesses, Local Services Ads are often the first thing people see on Google, above both the search ads and the map.
-
The top of the page
Your business appears at the top of Google with your star rating and the Google Verified badge, which builds trust before anyone calls.
-
Pay per lead
You're charged for calls and messages from potential customers, not for clicks or views.
-
Bad leads disputed
Wrong service, outside your area or spam: we check your leads and dispute the ones that qualify, so you aren't paying for them.
