Google improves Local Services Ads with automatic photo selection

The automatic selection of photos for Local Services Ads (LSA) is intended to boost engagement and enhance ad rankings for businesses that upload high-quality visuals to their profiles.

Google is rolling out a feature for Local Services Ads that automatically chooses profile photos for advertisement purposes.

Why it’s important

This update is aimed at increasing engagement with ads and potentially improving the ranking of ads for local service providers.

How it functions

Google will select photos from the profiles of LSA advertisers that are most likely to drive engagement. However, not all photos will be featured in every ad, as this will depend on user search queries and other variables.

Key points

The feature is now available to all Local Services Ads advertisers. Including photos in LSA profiles can contribute to better ad rankings.

Google’s advice

Upload 3-5 high-quality images to your LSA profile. Make sure the photos are relevant to your services, original, and free from copyright issues.
