FAQ
How much does it cost?
A flat monthly management fee, quoted after a free call. Your Google lead budget is separate and paid directly to Google.
How fast will I get leads?
Once Google verification is complete (usually 1-4 weeks), leads can start within days.
What about bad leads?
Google has removed the manual dispute button for Local Services Ads, so you can no longer send a form to contest a lead. Charged leads are now reviewed automatically. In the US and Canada that review can credit invalid leads such as spam, duplicates, wrong numbers and robocalls within about 30 days, but Google’s help page lists advertisers in EMEA, which includes the UK, as excluded from automatic lead credits. Calls for job types you do not offer or from outside your service area are billed and cannot be disputed, and Google now charges for missed calls during opening hours when the caller stays on the line for more than 20 seconds (announced for the US first). You can still rate every lead in your dashboard, which helps train Google’s system but does not guarantee a credit. So the real protection is the set-up: tight service areas, only the job types you actually do, an ad schedule that matches when you can answer, and a log of every lead so you know your true return.
