What this service covers
Make the most of a local search opportunity that fits your practice.
Local Services Ads can show a provider profile in relevant Google searches and connect people through calls or messages. We begin by checking whether your specific category and Houston location qualify.
Profile setup and management
Align your services, service area, hours, photos, budget, and profile information with what your team actually offers.
Inquiry quality and follow-up
Review lead relevance, response workflow, and booked outcomes so decisions reflect more than raw lead counts.
Who may be a fit
Start with your exact provider category.
Google lists several U.S. healthcare categories, including dentists, dermatologists, and primary care physicians. That list is a starting point; category availability for a Houston practice needs its own eligibility check.
We also review whether your team can answer inquiries during listed hours and has a clear way to record what happened after the first contact.
Clear qualification: a category appearing on Google’s U.S. list does not guarantee that a particular practice or ZIP code can run an ad.

FAQs
Questions Houston healthcare teams ask about LSA.
Can every Houston clinic or hospital run Local Services Ads?
No. Google supports certain categories and asks advertisers to check eligibility for their area. We verify the exact category and location before recommending setup.
Are Local Services Ads the same as Google Search Ads?
No. Local Services Ads show a provider profile and can generate calls or messages in supported categories. Search Ads use a separate campaign setup and can send traffic to a landing page.
What is needed before our ad can run?
Requirements vary by category and region. Google may request business screening, license or insurance checks, and other verification steps. We review the requirements shown for your account.
Can patients book directly through a healthcare Local Services Ad?
Google says booking leads are not available for healthcare verticals. Plan a reliable process for answering and following up on calls and messages.
How should we judge performance?
Start with calls and messages, then record which inquiries are relevant and which become appointments. Review those outcomes alongside spend and the team’s response process.
