Make no mistake, this is not the same as advertising on Google Ads. Local Services Ads make it easier to grow your business with Google and receive leads directly from potential customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How? Well actually it&#039;s very simple, you receive these leads in the form of calls and messages through your Local Services advertisement. Via the special Local Services Ads app you can answer messages at any time, keep track of bookings and manage your new leads. Check out the images below to get a better idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">FAST TO<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/adaptoo.nl\/en\/local-services-ads-google\/#Voordelen_van_Lokale_diensten-advertenties\" >Benefits of Local Services Advertising<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/adaptoo.nl\/en\/local-services-ads-google\/#Hoe_werken_Lokale_diensten-advertenties\" >How do Local Services ads work?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/adaptoo.nl\/en\/local-services-ads-google\/#Zijn_Lokale_diensten-advertenties_al_mogelijk_in_Nederland\" >Are Local Services advertisements already possible in the Netherlands?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/adaptoo.nl\/en\/local-services-ads-google\/#Vragen_of_hulp_nodig\" >Questions or need help?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Voordelen_van_Lokale_diensten-advertenties\"><\/span>Benefits of Local Services Advertising<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, with Local Services ads you simply purchase leads directly from Google. This makes it very different from advertising on Google AdWords where you have to use your ads quality score to ensure that your ads are clicked and then a successful conversion goal is carried out on your website to win a new lead. Below we give you all the benefits of Google&#039;s new Local Services ads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>More effective method to get your business listed at the top of Google.<\/li><li>Reach potential customers who are looking for your company and the services you offer.<\/li><li>Use the handy mobile app to communicate with your potential customers at any time.<\/li><li>Only pay for leads that really relate to your company and the services you offer.<\/li><li>Use the handy tools to create an extensive company profile.<\/li><li>Earn Google&#039;s trust and receive a Google Screened or Google Guarantee badge.<\/li><li>With the Google warranty badge you will be listed as a local provider on the Google Assistant.<\/li><li>Potential customers only choose your company, so only you receive the information from the potential customer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hoe_werken_Lokale_diensten-advertenties\"><\/span>How do Local Services ads work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So a Local Services Ads section will appear at the top of Google&#039;s search results when someone searches for services you offer in your region. Potential customers can then click on your ad to call or send a message directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an added bonus, you can also use a function to schedule an appointment directly through your advertisement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a potential customer contacts you, you will immediately receive an email and a notification via the app. From this moment on, you or your sales team can start working on turning a lead into a real customer. Tip: answer contact requests from potential customers as quickly as possible and, above all, do not leave contact requests unanswered! If you regularly don&#039;t answer calls or messages, this can cause you to lose positions in the ad rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you can increase or decrease the limit of the number of leads you want to receive yourself. It is also possible to pause your Local Services advertisements at any time so that no costs are incurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zijn_Lokale_diensten-advertenties_al_mogelijk_in_Nederland\"><\/span>Are Local Services advertisements already possible in the Netherlands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Local Services ads are only available on certain services and in some countries.
