Pick your trade. We will show you typical LSA cost-per-lead, the most common dispute pattern we see, and what aggressive review velocity looks like for accounts like yours.
HVAC LSA profiles typically pay $40-$90 per lead with seasonal spikes during summer cooling and winter heating peaks. Most accounts we audit have unfiled disputes worth thousands per month. Common fix: aggressive dispute filing, plus emergency-vs-install service category separation.
Plumbing LSA profiles pay $30-$80 per lead with the highest dispute volume of any trade because of the prevalence of price-shopper calls and wrong-service-type leads. Fix: structured dispute workflow plus emergency-vs-service category separation.
Roofing LSA profiles pay $50-$130 per lead with storm-event volatility. Most agencies do not have a storm-response playbook. Fix: pre-built bid templates that deploy within hours of a storm event, plus aggressive dispute filing on tire-kicker leads which are common in roofing.
Electrical LSA profiles pay $25-$65 per lead. EV charger installation and panel upgrade calls have 3-5x the ticket value of standard service calls. Fix: dedicated service area expansion plus job type optimization to surface for high-LTV searches.
Landscaping LSA profiles pay $20-$55 per lead with strong seasonality. Most accounts bid the same in February as in May, wasting 30-40% of spring spend. Fix: seasonal calendar logic plus maintenance-vs-install service category strategy.
Pest control LSA profiles pay $20-$50 per lead. The biggest opportunity is the one-time-to-recurring conversion. Fix: tracking that follows one-time LSA leads through to recurring plan signups, with bids weighted accordingly.
Water damage LSA profiles pay $80-$200 per lead, the highest LSA CPL of any trade. Massive dispute volume because tire-kickers are common. Fix: insurance-vs-cash-pay job category separation, aggressive dispute filing, and after-hours coverage strategy.
Garage door LSA profiles pay $35-$120 per lead. Install jobs ($1,200-$2,500) deserve higher bid ceilings than repair calls. Fix: job type bid weighting plus aggressive dispute filing on calls that turned out to be other services.
We manage LSA for 18+ home service trades including locksmith, appliance repair, carpet cleaning, tree service, pool service, painting, flooring, fencing, junk removal, handyman, movers, and house cleaning. Each trade has its own dispute patterns, ranking factors, and review velocity benchmarks.
Most LSA agencies hand you a basic profile and a monthly report. We rate every lead and dispute what Google misses, coordinate your GBP, build your review cadence, and refresh photos monthly. Because the 20-account cap means we can.
No setup fees. No percentage of LSA spend. No long-term contracts. If your profile gets suspended, you do not pay that month.

Most LSA agencies are vague about month one because they do not actually have a process. Here is exactly what happens, day by day. The first month is on us so you can verify the work before any invoice is sent.
30-minute live screen-share. We log into your LSA profile with you watching.
Foundational fixes go first because everything depends on getting the profile right.
LSA depends on GBP. Both get coordinated, plus backlog disputes filed.
Two weeks of data drives the first round of refinements.
By week three you see ranking and dispute trends clearly.
You see the work, the numbers, and the disputes recovered.
Pick any contractor LSA agency website. Compare them to us on the six points below. The differences are intentional.
$445/mo published on the homepage. Most LSA agencies hide pricing because they price by gut. Transparent pricing means the only conversation we have is whether the work is good, not whether the fee is fair.
Google now auto-credits the obvious bad leads, but not all of them, and its system still needs to know which leads actually turned into work. We review and rate every lead, mark the ones that booked so your account optimizes for revenue, and dispute anything Google's system missed within the window.
LSA ranks via GBP signals. Agencies that treat GBP and LSA as separate services are leaving your ranking on the table. We run them as one channel.
The average contractor LSA agency runs 50-100 accounts per manager. That is why your dispute backlog grows month after month. Our cap is 20, the only way to review and rate every lead properly.
We work inside your profile, not ours. You keep historical data, review history, photos, and the profile itself if we ever part ways. This is non-negotiable.
If Google suspends your profile during our management period, we do not bill you that month. Most agencies still charge you while your profile is offline. We do not.
If you are evaluating contractor LSA agencies (us included), use this checklist. The agencies worth hiring will agree with every item below. The ones that dodge any of them are showing you the problem before you sign.
Perverse incentive: the agency wants you to spend more even when CPL is rising. Flat-fee management aligns the agency with you.
"You can dispute leads yourself in your dashboard" is what bad agencies say to skip the actual work. Filing disputes is half the value of LSA management. If they will not do it, they are not managing your LSA.
LSA ranking is heavily tied to GBP health. An agency that ignores GBP or charges extra for it does not understand how LSA actually ranks.
Locks you in before they prove value. The good agencies offer month-to-month because they trust their own work.
The math does not work. A manager juggling 60 LSA profiles cannot review and rate every lead properly. Lead quality slips month after month.
Reviews are the largest LSA ranking factor. An agency without a structured review collection cadence is leaving your ranking on the table.
If Google suspends your profile, you cannot run ads, no leads come in. Agencies that still charge you that month are charging for nothing.
Hostage scenario. When you eventually move on, you lose review history, photos, profile structure, and Google verification history. You should always own your profile.
Compare any contractor LSA agency on these points. The honest agencies will admit half of them. The ones that dodge any are showing you the gap.

Anonymized results from contractor LSA profiles in the BGM portfolio. Trade and metro shown; client identity withheld for confidentiality. Numbers verified against Google LSA dashboards.
Inherited a profile with 90+ unfiled disputes from prior agency. Filed all eligible disputes within first 14 days, then standardized weekly filing cadence. Wrong-category-call disputes recovered at 70%+ rate.
Profile was suspended for category misclassification (drain service category mismatched to plumber primary). Submitted reinstatement appeal with corrected documentation. Post-reinstatement profile actually ranked higher because categories were now accurate.
Reviews stalled at 47 because no collection cadence existed. Implemented scripted post-job request flow with the field team. Hit 100 reviews by month 4, surpassed competitor by month 5. Storm-event campaigns now dominate locally.
Prior management filed zero disputes. Implemented daily lead review with structured dispute workflow within first week. Wrong-service-type disputes recovered fastest. EV charger category added as separate service, which raised effective ticket size.
Past results do not guarantee future performance. Every profile is different. We will tell you in the free audit whether your situation looks like one of these.
From hundreds of contractor LSA audits, these are the mistakes we find most often. Each one quietly costs money. Most prospects we audit are losing money on at least four of these.
15-25% of LSA leads are typically disputable (wrong service type, hung-up call, spam, out-of-area, duplicate). Profiles that file zero disputes leave 10-20% of their monthly spend on the table in unrecovered credits.
Typical impact: $500-$3,000/mo in unrecovered creditsAn HVAC contractor whose primary category is "Air Conditioning Contractor" but who also does heating is missing 40-50% of heating-intent searches. Categories drive eligibility, not relevance.
Typical impact: 30-50% volume loss on cross-service queriesReviews are the single largest LSA ranking factor. A profile gaining 1-2 reviews per month gets out-ranked by a competitor gaining 8-10. Without a structured collection cadence, profiles stagnate.
Typical impact: 1-2 ranking positions lost monthlyLSA profiles with stale photos (same set for 6+ months) lose ranking to profiles uploading monthly. Active photo profiles signal a live business to Google.
Typical impact: subtle but compounding ranking decayLSA leads decay in roughly 2 hours. A profile that takes 4-6 hours to respond to night/weekend leads gets penalized in the algorithm. Most contractor profiles do not have answering service or message routing dialed in.
Typical impact: 15-30% of leads lost to slow responseProfiles set to "50 miles" pull leads from zips with terrible close rates. Trimming to 20-30 miles based on lead-quality data typically lowers CPL and raises booking rate at the same time.
Typical impact: 20-40% of leads from low-quality zipsProfiles treat LSA and GBP as separate systems. But LSA ranking depends on GBP signals (categories, reviews, photos, posts). When the two are out of sync, both suffer.
Typical impact: ranking drag across both surfacesEnter your LSA numbers. We will estimate how much you could recover monthly by rating every lead and disputing what Google’s system misses. Most contractors leave this money on the table.

Connect on LinkedInMost contractor LSA management agencies charge $800 to $2,500 per month or a percentage of lead spend. We charge $445/mo flat, with no setup fees and no contracts.
No. Month-to-month. If we are not delivering, you cancel and keep everything we fixed. Bundle Google Ads with LSA and we also build custom landing pages for your campaigns free, normally $500 per page.
Yes. Google's system now auto-credits the obvious invalid leads, but not every one, and it still needs to know which leads booked. We review and rate every lead, mark the ones that turned into jobs so your account optimizes for revenue, and dispute anything Google's system missed inside the window. That keeps your spend clean and your ranking honest.
Yes. LSA ranking is tied to GBP health, so we coordinate both. Categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A, and review responses are all part of the LSA management service.
Exclusively home service contractors. HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, pest control, water damage, tree service, garage door, locksmith, painting, flooring, fencing, junk removal, pool service, house cleaning, handyman, movers.
Most profiles show meaningful CPL movement and ranking improvement within 30-60 days. Brand new profiles take 60-90 days. Dispute recovery starts immediately, first batch of credits arrives week 2-3.
Yes. Google Ads management is $695/mo. Bundle with LSA is $995/mo. Full-stack (LSA + Google Ads + GBP + reporting) is $1,795/mo.
Profile audit and rebuild, GBP coordination, lead rating, booked-job tracking, and dispute management, review velocity management, monthly photo cadence, service area optimization, job type optimization, weekly bid management, after-hours response strategy, and a live reporting dashboard.
If your profile is suspended for any reason during our management period, we do not bill you that month. Most agencies still charge during suspension. We do not. We also handle reinstatement at no additional cost.
Yes. Review collection cadence (5-10 new reviews per month target), scripted request templates for your team, monitoring of incoming reviews, response writing on your behalf if you want.
Yes, all LSA advertisers need to complete Google's verification (formerly Google Guaranteed). If you are not yet verified, we handle the application during onboarding. Typical verification takes 7-14 days.
Yes. We work inside your profile and you retain full ownership. You keep historical data, review history, photos, and the profile itself.
Four differences: pricing transparency ($445/mo flat), contractor-only specialization, account caps (20 max per manager), and lead rating plus dispute management on every lead, not just the obvious ones.
Each profile gets its own optimization plan and dispute workflow. $445/mo each, discount on 3+ profiles ($395/mo each starting at three).
