REACH MORE CUSTOMERS

Book local jobs with online ads

When you search online for a nearby service, you may see a Local Services ad like the one below.

These ads are tailored to the needs of local service providers. You can set your ads to only show up for people in your area when they’re looking for the types of services you offer. Plus, customers can call or message you to book your services directly from the ad.

CONTROL YOUR SPEND

Set a budget that works for you

Local Services ads give you the flexibility and control you need as a small business owner. You’ll set a budget based on the number of new customers you want each week. You’ll only pay for leads, like when people use your ad to call or message you. And, if your schedule fills up or you go on vacation, it’s easy to pause your ads.

MANAGE YOUR BOOKINGS

See all your leads in one place

You’ll be able to manage all your leads from your account dashboard, keeping your customer contacts organized and easily accessible in one place. You’ll also get helpful reports that show how many bookings you're getting from Google, so you know how well your advertising is working.

BUILD TRUST

Get a Google Guarantee badge

When you hire someone to fix your sink or clean your house, you’re looking for a combination of qualities: honesty, trustworthiness, and experience, to name a few. Same goes for when a customer hires you to perform a service. That’s where the Google Guarantee badge comes in — it can help you build a great reputation online.
