GeoQuote vs Google LSA

⚡ TL;DR

Google LSA captures homeowners searching on Google with pay-per-lead ads ($20-100+/lead with Google Guarantee badge). GeoQuote captures visitors who land on YOUR website — including the 70% who click through from Google but don't call immediately. They're complementary: LSA drives discovery, GeoQuote converts the website visit.

What is Google LSA?

Google Local Service Ads (LSA) are pay-per-lead ads that appear at the very top of Google search results for local service queries, with the Google Guarantee badge.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓Can I use GeoQuote with Google LSA?

Yes, and this is the power combo. Google LSA drives qualified traffic to your Google Business listing and website. GeoQuote captures those website visitors who don't call immediately (about 70% of visitors), converting them with satellite estimates and AI follow-up.

❓How much do Google LSA leads cost?

Google LSA leads cost $20-100+ depending on the service category and location. Unlike GeoQuote, you also need to pass a background check and meet Google's verification requirements, which can take several weeks.

❓What percentage of website visitors actually call a contractor?

Industry data shows only 2-3% of contractor website visitors fill out a contact form or call. The other 97% leave without converting. GeoQuote's satellite estimate widget captures 8-15% of visitors — a 3-5x improvement over traditional contact forms.
