Local Services Ads & Google Verified Scraper

🚀 Local Services Ads & Google Verified Monitor

Monitor Google's Local Services Ads at scale. The Local Services Ads & Google Verified Monitor returns every Local Services Ad (LSA) Google shows for a service category in a US city — business name, "Verified by Google" badge, rating, review count, phone, years in business, highlights, opening hours and the LSA profile link — plus the local 3-pack from the same search. Built for local SEO agencies, home-services marketers, law-firm marketing agencies, and reputation management vendors.

✨ Features

• 🛡️ Local Services Ads, complete — Reads Google's own Local Services listing (google.com/localservices/prolist), the page behind the "More" link under the LSA unit. Up to 20 advertisers per query, not just the 3 shown on the SERP.
• ✅ Verified badge detection — isVerified / verifiedLabel for advertisers whose profile Google marks "This business has been verified by Google"; the raw badgeCode is included so you can track other badge states as Google rolls them out.
• 🥇 Local Pack Rankings — The 3-pack for the same query: name, rating, review count, category, phone, city, years in business.
• ⭐ Ratings & Reviews — Exact review counts for ads (17775), rounded counts for pack cards (18K → 18000).
• 📞 Contact & Profile — Phone numbers, LSA profile URLs, highlights like "24/7 emergency services · BBB Accredited A+ rated", opening hours by weekday.
• 🏙️ Any US city — Write the query as <service> in <City, ST>; the Actor resolves the place to Google's own location id.
• ⚡ No browser — Plain HTTP requests through Apify's Google SERP proxy and a US residential exit. Fast, cheap, and it does not trip Google's captcha wall the way a headless browser does.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter Search Queries — One per line, as <service> in <City, ST>: plumbers in Austin, roof repair in Chicago, IL, personal injury lawyer in Miami.
2. Category matching — The service part is matched to one of Google's 111 Local Services categories (plumber, roofer, hvac, electrician, personal_injury_lawyer, …). You can also write the category slug itself, e.g. bankruptcy_lawyer in Austin. Queries that match no category still return the local pack.
3. Run the Scraper — For each query the Actor resolves the city, fetches the Local Services listing through a US residential proxy, fetches the Google SERP through the SERP proxy, and pushes one record per business.

Local Services Ads exist only in the United States; queries for other countries return the local pack only.

📥 Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	✅	—	Queries in the form <service> in <City, ST> (e.g. plumbers in Austin).
location	string	—	—	Fallback city for queries that do not name one (plumbers + Austin, TX).

countryCode	string	—	"us"	Google country code for the local-pack search.
device	"desktop" | "mobile"	—	"desktop"	Kept for compatibility; recorded on each row.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	—	20	Cap per query and surface (ads and pack counted separately). Google lists at most 20 ads.

isGoogleGuaranteed is kept for compatibility and is always false: Google's Local Services profiles now carry a single "verified by Google" statement instead of the older Guaranteed / Screened badges.
