Google Local Service Ads (LSAs) FAQs

Why do I keep seeing my ad everywhere I go?

You’re not going crazy, Google LSAs are designed to be hyper-local and repeat often for users searching in your service area. You might also be seeing your own ad more frequently due to Google’s personalization. To get a clear, unbiased view of where you show up, try searching in an incognito window or private browser tab.

How do I check how my ad looks to other people?

Search in an incognito window or private browsing mode. This stops Google from customizing the results based on your personal search history or location. It’s the best way to see how your ad shows up for regular customers in your area.

Do the ads run 24/7?

Not necessarily. LSAs run based on your ad schedule and daily budget. If your daily budget gets spent early, your ad may stop showing for the rest of the day. We help our fence clients optimize both so you stay visible during peak hours and don’t waste spend on low-converting times.

What industries are eligible for LSAs?

LSAs aren’t available to everyone. They’re only offered for specific service industries, like fencing, landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, roofing, and other home services. If you’re unsure whether your service qualifies, we can check for you.

Can I run LSAs without being Google Guaranteed?

Nope. LSAs and Google Guaranteed go hand in hand. The badge is what allows your ad to appear in the Local Services section. It’s not optional, it’s step one. DotCom can handle the whole verification process for you.
