Marketing & AdvertisingLead Management4HighOwner$ implied

Google Local Services Ads (LSA) lead quality has deteriorated due to AI-based lead classification, leading to high cost per lead and wasted spend on invalid leads.

Google's AI dispute system incorrectly classifies invalid leads as valid, and there is no human review option, causing advertisers to pay for worthless leads.
