60 seconds on why LSA leads dry up, and how to get them back.

The Google Guaranteed badge sits above every ad and every map result. You pay per lead instead of per click, and your position is decided by things most contractors never think to fix.

The cheapest lead source you're probably ranking badly in

LSA is the top slot on the page. Above the paid ads, above the map pack. You pay for a lead, not a click, and a lead is someone who actually called you.

The catch is that Google decides who shows, and it doesn't run on budget alone. Review score, how fast you answer, how many calls you miss and whether you dispute junk leads all move you up or down. Most contractors set it up once, stop answering after five, and wonder why it went quiet.

What we do

  • Get you verified: licence, insurance and background checks pushed through instead of stalling
  • Job types chosen deliberately, so you stop paying for work you don't want
  • A weekly dispute routine, because a junk lead you don't dispute is a junk lead you paid for
  • Review generation aimed at LSA specifically, since it's the biggest ranking lever you control
  • Response monitoring, because missed calls are the fastest way to disappear
  • Budget set against real lead volume, not a number that sounded about right

How it works

Get in, get ranked, stay ranked

  1. 1

    Verification

    Licence, insurance and background checks. This is where most applications stall for weeks. We do the paperwork and chase Google when it goes quiet.

  2. 2

    Set the profile up properly

    Job types, service area, hours and photos. Each one decides which searches you appear for and which leads you get charged for.

  3. 3

    Rank

    Reviews, response rate and answered calls. Agencies skip this because it isn't advertising. It's also what decides your position.

  4. 4

    Dispute and refine

    Junk leads challenged every week and credited back. Job types and radius trimmed to whatever is actually profitable.

Questions we get

LSA charges per lead, sits above everything else on the page, and gives you the Google Guaranteed badge. Google Ads charges per click, sits below LSA, and gives you control over keywords, copy and landing pages.

Run LSA first, because it's cheaper and lower risk. Add Google Ads for volume and for the searches LSA doesn't cover.

Not sure if you're ranking or just running?

We'll check where you show for your main job types, what your response rate looks like, and how many leads you should have disputed. Twenty minutes, and you keep the answer either way.
