Google boasts a global search engine market share of 91.94%, so it’s no wonder that most people find new businesses they want to work with by running a Google search! It’s why Google Ads are such a great way to expand your business, and it’s why we place a lot of emphasis on your Houston SEO strategy. Now, there is yet another way to leverage Google to get your business found by interested, high-quality leads.
Run Local Services Ads For Your Houston Business
Local Services Ads are a type of advertisement you can run on Google. These ads are shown to potential customers who are searching for your services in their area. With these ads, your business can earn a Google Guaranteed Badge and show up at the top of search results!
What Does Google Guaranteed Mean?
Google Guaranteed means Google has certified that your service-based business is background checked and reliable. This looks great for your business because customers can rest assured that:
- Your reputation is strong,
- You have been approved by Google,
- If a customer is for some reason unhappy with your services, Google may refund up to the amount they paid for jobs booked on Local Services Ads.
How to Get Google Guaranteed Status
Once you sign up for Local Services Ads, you will undergo a verification process. Depending on your industry, Google may ask for:
- Insurance

Bonus: Refresh Your Houston Web Design In Time For Your Local Services Ads Campaign
Ads seem like an excellent way to rapidly expand your business, but they are really only as effective as your team and your website design are at capturing them.
Your ad can be at the very top of Google search results, but if visitors go to your website and it looks outdated or irrelevant to your business, then it might actually steer prospects away from contacting you.
When you would like to do Google Ads, we’ll make sure that the landing pages are up-to-date, refreshed, on-brand, and designed to capture your leads.
