FAQS
Questions owners ask
How are LSAs different from regular Google Ads?
LSAs sit above everything, charge per lead rather than per click, and require Google's screening. Many businesses run both, and we'll tell you which fits first.
What do the leads cost?
It varies by category and area. You can dispute clearly invalid leads, and we handle that as part of management.
Why is my competitor showing and I'm not?
Placement weighs responsiveness, reviews, budget, and proximity. We manage the levers you control and are straight about the ones you don't.
Do reviews matter for LSAs?
A lot. Review count and rating strongly influence placement, so we'll connect this with a review-building routine.
More questions, answered
Does the listed advertising fee include my ad budget?
No. The management fee pays for the agency's work. Your advertising budget is separate and is normally paid directly to the platform. We show both amounts when planning the campaign.
Will I pay a setup fee?
Some services require initial setup. For the proposed advertising package, that fee is $999 one-time where the defined setup scope applies. The checkout summary shows it alongside the monthly fee before payment.
Why do some services show a starting price?
The price applies to a stated baseline scope. Extra pages, products, locations, migrations, or integrations can change the work. We confirm the final scope and price before taking payment for the larger project.
Are software, hosting, and plugin subscriptions included?
Only when the offer specifically includes them. Hosting, premium plugins, CRM subscriptions, AI model usage, and advertising costs may be separate. We identify those costs and who pays for them before work begins.
Do monthly services renew automatically?
The proposed monthly offers renew monthly under the terms shown before checkout. The summary shows the recurring amount and billing interval. Cancellation timing and any special commitment must be stated in the accepted terms.
How do I cancel or change a plan?
Use the secure billing link or contact us about a scope change. The accepted terms explain when cancellation takes effect. A different service or higher spend tier requires a clearly stated plan change, rather than an unexplained charge.
