Google is making one of its biggest architectural updates to local advertising in years: Local Services Ads (LSAs) are officially migrating into Google Ads as specialized Performance Max (PMax) campaigns. Join us today, Wednesday, September 30, at 2:00 PM Eastern for an urgent, practical live session. We are breaking down where the rollout stands, how your bidding and budgets will change, and what you must export immediately before your legacy dashboard disappears. 📚 What We Are Covering Today: 1️⃣ The Migration Rollout Status - Where It Stands: Phase 1 began with select U.S. home and storefront service categories. We’ll cover who is scheduled next as the rollout expands through late 2026 and into 2027. - Pre/Post Migration Checklist: What account owners must check before and after their account transitions—including why you must export historical reporting immediately, as past performance data will not transfer to Google Ads. 2️⃣ Budget, Bidding & Reporting Structural Shifts - Budget Conversion: Weekly budgets are automatically converting to equivalent daily average budgets. - Bidding Changes: Manual bidding and vertical-level Target CPA settings are being deprecated in favor of automated bidding configurations inside Google Ads. - Control Center: Transitioning lead routing, targeting, and management settings directly into the main Google Ads interface. 3️⃣ October Booking & Calendar Guidance - Setup Verification: What eligible service businesses need to audit in their booking engine and calendar integrations right now to ensure direct lead booking flow doesn't break during the platform move. 4️⃣ Google Business Profile "Collected Info" Feature - Automated Data Gathering: How to review and audit the information Google gathers through automated conversations with your business—making sure AI agents and Google bots are conveying accurate pricing, availability, and services. 5️⃣ Reported October 1 Missed-Call Billing Changes - The Notice Breakdown: What recent advertiser notices say about billing changes for unanswered calls staying connected past 20 seconds. - Call-Handling Preparation: What still needs verification, and how to configure your intake and backup AI answering so you never pay for unhandled, missed prospects.

Everyone who joins can request a free consultation. Searching your own business name and seeing yourself at the top doesn’t tell you what a new customer sees across town. This week we’re checking three different places where local visibility breaks down—and building a practical action plan from the evidence. 1️⃣ THE NEIGHBORHOOD BLIND SPOT: MEASURE MAP COVERAGE A rank at your office is one observation. We’ll compare the same service search across a small geographic grid and calculate the share of checked locations where you appear in the top three. Learn what a one-day scan can tell you, why it isn’t a 30-day average, and how to repeat the same measurement so next month’s comparison means something. 2️⃣ THE DUPLICATE-LISTING TRAP: FIND THE RIGHT PROFILE Old addresses, a second listing for the same business, and individual practitioner profiles can create confusing results. We’ll build a profile inventory and use Google’s guidelines to distinguish a true duplicate from a separate eligible location or practitioner. You’ll see what evidence to collect before requesting a correction—and why deleting a profile from your account is not the same as removing it from Maps. 3️⃣ THE AI-SEARCH GAP: MAKE YOUR BEST ANSWERS FINDABLE What happens when a customer asks a detailed service question in Google’s AI search? We’ll turn one vague service page into a useful answer with specific services, real local context and clear next steps. I’ll explain Google’s guidance on AI Overviews and AI Mode, the basic search requirements that still apply, and why there is no special markup that guarantees inclusion. We’ll use examples that work for contractors, home services, law firms and other local professionals. We’ll also separate organic Maps observations from your paid LSA results so the report doesn’t mix different systems.

Searching your own business name from your desk and seeing yourself at the top doesn’t tell you what a prospective customer actually sees across town. Join Accelerate Marketing, Wednesday, September 16 at 2:00 PM Eastern for a practical live working session. We are breaking down the three critical places where local search visibility breaks down—and showing you how to build a concrete action plan based on hard data, not assumptions. 👉 JOIN LIVE HERE: https://streamyard.com/avdy8ut293 — Click in and bring your business!

It tells you nothing about your visibility three miles down the road. - The Action: We’ll compare the same core service search across a tight geographic grid and calculate your exact share of local impressions in the top three Map Pack spots. Learn what a single-day scan reveals, why it differs from a 30-day average, and how to set up repeatable measurements so future comparisons deliver actionable insights. 2️⃣ THE DUPLICATE-LISTING TRAP: FIND THE RIGHT PROFILE - The Problem: Old office addresses, accidental second listings, and unmanaged individual practitioner profiles split your authority and create confusing search results. - The Action: We’ll build a complete profile inventory and use official Google guidelines to distinguish true duplicates from legitimate separate locations or practitioner profiles. You’ll see what evidence to gather before submitting correction requests—and why deleting a profile from your dashboard is not the same as removing it from Google Maps.
