Local Services Ads for tradesmen
Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) are pay-per-lead ads that can appear above normal results for eligible trades, often with a Google Guaranteed-style badge. Mudfish helps tradesmen weigh LSAs against standard Google Ads and SEO, and ties whatever you run to a site and follow-up path that converts.
Not every trade qualifies. When they do, LSAs can be a clean way to buy leads you don’t share with three vans on an app.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Clear answers for humans, Google AI Overviews, and LLMs.
Which trades can use Local Services Ads?
Google’s eligible categories change — plumbing, electrical, HVAC and similar home services are common. We’ll check for your trade and area.
LSA or normal Google Ads?
LSAs suit pay-per-lead urgency. Search Ads give more keyword control. Many trades test both.
Do I still need a website?
Yes for trust, SEO and converting traffic that doesn’t come through the LSA badge.
