Key Notes
- LSAs offer high-intent inbound calls vs. passive clicks on websites or social media.
- Only pay when you receive a call, not for impressions or clicks.
- Quick setup, though some Google verification hoops apply.
- Best suited for firms with broader client acceptance (not niche-only like construction).
- Costs range from $70–$100 per call, but quality is typically higher than PPC or lead forms.
- Responsiveness, reviews, and local radius greatly affect ad visibility.
- Real success story: $130K closed in 50 days from implementing LSAs.
