Say What?! Google has a verified service program?

This is another new rollout with Google (they are always changing and adding), but this new role is a game changer for residential service providers and consumers. This new program is providing consumers a great way to find licensed, insured and background-checked companies. It is only rolling out in 17 regions across the USA, but this new move with Google is shaking up the online AdWords for residential services industry companies.

What does this mean for your business? It means if you are a residential service company, then you need to have your business verified by Google. Why should you have your business verified by Google? The number one reason is Google is putting their money where their mouth is and is offering the consumer a guarantee and insurance when they use your business. Also, your ads will show at the top of the page for your industry.

Now the best thing about this whole program is what this will provide for the end-user, which is simple, a better experience. It can be hard trying to make sure you have a legit and professional contractor that will service your home needs, and Google is putting their name behind these small business to make sure you do not end up with a former convict fixing you’re a/c unit.

Google is the go-to for searches, and now with this new implementation of Google Local Service your online ads will convert at a higher rate, and you do not have to compete with 3 to 5 other companies like some of the other home services companies.

The best part about this is that it is free to become a verified Google company. To learn more and receive and free E-Book on Google Guarantee, fill out the information below.
