Hello everyone! We have an important update from Google about some changes coming to Local Services Ads (LSA). Effective October 20, 2025, Google will be launching a single, more cohesive "Google Verified" badge for all advertisers. This new badge will simplify the current system and provide a single, clear signal of a business's credibility. As part of this change, Google will be discontinuing the Google Guaranteed badge and the associated Money Back Guarantee, also effective on October 20, 2025. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think a single "Google Verified" badge will make it easier for clients to understand which businesses are trustworthy?

If you could wave a magic wand and fix one thing about your Google Local Service Ads, Business Profile, or lead conversations — what would it be? I’m genuinely curious to hear what’s holding you back from getting more consistent leads. Drop it below! 👇

Stumbled across this new AI tool called MapScan that gives you a full heatmap audit of your Google Maps rankings. It literally shows you where your business ranks across your entire city—visually. No dashboards, no digging through GMB. Just a clean map of where you're hot and where you’re invisible. Ran it for one of my local clients and was shocked by the red zones we didn’t even know existed. You get a free audit, no credit card or signup hoops. If you’re doing local SEO, this might be worth checking out. Curious if anyone else here has used it yet?
