By Ali Sedighi, MBA · July 1, 2025
Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) are a pay-per-lead advertising product that appears at the very top of search results. For BC trades businesses, LSAs offer a powerful way to generate qualified leads without paying for clicks that don't convert.
Key features of LSAs include: - Pay only for valid leads (phone calls or messages from potential customers) - Google Screened or Google Guaranteed badge (requires background check and insurance verification) - Appear above regular ads and organic results - Customers can see your reviews, hours and service areas directly in the ad
For BC plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other trades businesses, LSAs often deliver the highest ROI of any paid channel because you only pay for actual lead contacts.
