Local Service Ads: Setup & Verification

Google’s review is slow and picky. One missing document can hold up your launch.

Get Verified and Live

You applied for Local Service Ads and the process stalled, or you haven’t started because the paperwork looks like a chore. Google’s verification is known for being slow and picky.

We handle the full setup, including license uploads, background checks, insurance verification and business confirmation. You stay focused on your jobs, and your campaign goes live.
