Local lead services such as Google’s Local Services Ads, Checkatrade and Rated People can be game-changers for small and trade businesses.
According to Google, around 80% of local smartphone searches lead to a customer contacting or booking a business within 24 hours — and about 30% result in a purchase or completed job. That’s too big an opportunity to miss.
Local lead services connect people ready to buy with verified, trusted local providers. Once your business profile is approved, it appears right where customers are searching, meaning you can start winning jobs almost immediately. The key is credibility: verified profiles and strong reviews help your business climb to the top of listings.
redrose.digital SEO team works with trades and SMEs to build strong lead generation strategies through these platforms. They help businesses complete verification, optimise profiles, and write engaging listings that turn online interest into real enquiries.
The most successful companies treat these leads as real-time opportunities — responding quickly to messages, keeping replies personal, and focusing on quality service first. Once reviews and ratings start to build, so does visibility.
With the right approach, local lead services can deliver steady, high-intent customers without the heavy admin of traditional marketing.
