Whats the difference between
Google Guaranteed and Google Screened?
THE FOLLOWING INDUSTRIES/BUSINESSES ARE CURRENTLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE GOOGLE GUARANTEED OR GOOGLE SCREENED BADGE
(Some exceptions may apply)
In the end, the only real difference between the two is the added protection of financial compensation for your client's customers offered through Google Guaranteed. And with the decision based solely on Googles discretion, a limit of $2,000 in most countries, that guarantee often isn't enough to make a big difference to a major legal client, real estate transaction, or other professional service providers. Plus, the guarantee only covers the cost of the job (up to the maximum allowed in each country). It doesn’t cover property damage, pricing discrepancies, or cancellations.
Benefits of Being Google Screened or Google Guaranteed
There are several benefits you can take advantage of by becoming Google Screened or Google Guaranteed.
The first is the increased visibility in search engine results. When customers see the badge next to your listing, they are more likely to click on it. It may seem small, but that extra little checkmark has a dramatic impact on results. This helps draw your listing to the top of the Google Local Services Ads, as we have seen from countless examples.
Secondly, as mentioned earlier, being Google Screened or Google Guaranteed helps build trust with potential customers. In today's world, people are increasingly wary of companies they don't know anything about. But, showcasing the Google Guaranteed or Google Screened badge lets them know that you are a reputable business that has passed Google’s extensive background checks. This, in turn, increases the potential customer’s confidence when deciding to work with you.
The added benefit of being Google Guaranteed is that customers have a certain level of financial protection should something go wrong with the home service they booked through Google Local Services Ads. However, it is important to note that the guarantee only applies if they contact you through the GLSA platform. If a potential customer circumvents the platform and contacts you directly, the Google Guarantee does not apply.
So, if you're looking for ways to differentiate your business and make it more visible in search results, becoming Google Screened or Google Guaranteed is a great place to start!
