Local Services provider profiles

To get more information about a provider, check the provider’s profile. You'll see the provider’s qualifications, hours of operation, services offered, areas served, and more.

Ways to connect with Local Services providers

You can reach out to Local Services providers in different ways. You can call or message them or schedule a booking directly through Google. Here’s how:

  • Call them. When you call a provider number displayed on the search page, your call will be forwarded through Google to the phone number provided to us by the provider or their affiliated partner.
    Note: All phone calls, emails, and text-based communications delivered through Google may be monitored or recorded to detect spam or unauthorized behavior and for quality or research purposes. Learn more about Local Services Ads data
  • Send a message. Some providers may be eligible to receive messages. To send a text-message request from your mobile device, find the provider you’re interested in contacting, and click the message icon . You may also send a text message to that number directly if you’ve previously contacted the provider and the provider’s phone number is text-enabled.
    To send an email request from your desktop, find the provider you’re interested in contacting, and click Send Request.
  • Schedule a booking. You can schedule a booking with a provider directly through Google. Learn more about how to Schedule a booking with a Local Service provider.
Note: Messages are currently only available in select verticals in the U.S. and Canada. When you send a message, your name, ZIP code, job details, and phone number are shared with providers. Google will route your back-and-forth communications with providers through an anonymized alias.

If you are contacting a partner affiliate provider, your name, ZIP code, and job details will be shared with the partner. Your communications with that provider will be routed through Google and the affiliated partner via an anonymized alias, subject to the partner's and Google's terms of use.

Service costs and payment

Services can range in price, depending on the type of service you need, your location, and the scope of the service. Google connects you with Local Services providers, but doesn’t guarantee or determine pricing. You should work with the provider to decide on service details, and determine pricing and payment methods before using their services.

Resolve cancellations and other issues

If you're unhappy with the service provided by a Google Guaranteed provider hired through Local Services, try to resolve the issue with the provider first. If you're unable to come to a resolution, submit a reimbursement request and we may be able to help.

Rate and review providers

After a provider completes a service for you, Google the partner affiliate associated with the provider, or the provider themselves may ask you to rate and review the provider. This helps other customers and Google to evaluate the provider. Serious or repeatedly negative customer feedback may result in lower rankings for providers (including not showing at all).
