Local Services Ads (LSA) charge per valid lead—calls, messages or bookings—and appear in the Local Services unit near the top of relevant Google results, with your reviews and a screening badge once you pass Google's checks. Search ads charge per click and let you choose keywords, budgets and ad copy for repairs, replacements and storm work. Together they cover more of the results page than either alone. For a full side-by-side comparison, read our earlier post: [Should Roofers Use Local Services Ads or Google Search Ads?](https://www.netembark.com/2026/10/13/should-roofers-use-lsa-or-google-ads/) ![Infographic titled "Local Services Ads vs. Google Search Ads: two ways roofers can win more leads from Google." The left navy column, Local Services Ads, says they show at the very top of Google, the Google Verified badge builds trust, you pay per lead, not per click, and reviews help drive your ranking. The right light-blue column, Google Search Ads, says you choose the keywords, set your own budgets and schedules, write your own ads, and send traffic to a landing page. A blue banner at the bottom reads "Best results: run both."

You cannot grow what you cannot see. Count a conversion as a **phone call, form submission or booked estimate**—not a click. Use call assets and tracked numbers on Search, review leads in the Local Services inbox, and import booked estimates back into Google Ads so bidding learns which searches turn into real jobs. Then compare cost per lead and cost per booked estimate by channel, not just clicks. ![Flow chart on a navy background titled "How Google Ads Turn Searches into Roofing Leads." Four cards linked by arrows: Google Search (a homeowner searches for a roofer), Your Ad (Local Services Ads plus Search Ads), Call, Form or Booked Estimate, and Tracked Conversion (every lead measured). A blue callout reads "Netembark paid ad campaigns average a 12–16% conversion rate (calls, forms, booked consultations)."

That is an average, not a guarantee; results depend on market, offer, budget and season. ## Why does fast response matter for roofing leads? Homeowners with a leak often call more than one roofer. Answer calls live during your ad schedule, reply to messages and forms quickly, and set ad hours to times someone can actually pick up. In LSA, responsiveness is one of the factors Google considers for ranking, so missed calls can cost both the job and future visibility. ## How do reviews affect roofer leads from Google? Reviews show on your Local Services profile and your Google Business Profile, and homeowners compare them before they call. Ask every satisfied customer for a review right after the job, reply to reviews professionally, and never offer incentives for reviews, which breaks Google's policies. ## How should roofers set service-area targeting? Target the towns and ZIP codes your crews can reach profitably—not your whole state. In LSA, set your service area and job types accurately. In Search, use location targeting set to people in (not just interested in) your area, add negative keywords for DIY, jobs and materials-only searches, and split campaigns by town or region when budgets differ. ## How should roofers budget for storm season? Build a storm campaign before you need it, with ads and landing pages for the towns you serve, and keep it paused until weather hits. When it does, raise LSA and Search budgets only as far as your crews can inspect. Stay accurate: offer inspections and documentation if you provide them, and never promise to cover a deductible or what an insurer will pay. Thinking about Local Services Ads?

Run Local Services Ads and Google Search ads together, track calls, forms and booked estimates, respond to leads fast, keep earning reviews, target only the areas you serve, and plan storm-season budgets around crew capacity. ### Should roofers run Local Services Ads and Google Search ads at the same time? Yes, for most roofers. Local Services Ads are pay-per-lead and show near the top of Google with your reviews.

Count phone calls, form submissions and booked estimates or consultations. Clicks and impressions alone are not conversions. ### Why is call tracking important for roofing ads? Call tracking shows which campaigns, keywords and channels produce real phone leads, so you can move budget toward what books estimates instead of what only gets clicks. ### How fast should a roofer respond to Google leads? As fast as possible during your ad hours. Homeowners often contact several roofers, and in Local Services Ads responsiveness is one of the factors Google considers for ranking. ### Do Google reviews help roofers get more leads? Yes. Reviews appear on your Local Services profile and Google Business Profile, and homeowners compare them before calling. Ask satisfied customers for reviews and never offer incentives for them. ### How should roofers handle storm-season ad budgets?
