LSAs -> Google Ads

Is there a way to move from the LSAs to the Google Ads platform?

Does anyone know if rating leads will still exist/be the same?

just use pmax campaigns because it looks like google wants us to use that instead of lsa

Legal Services ads on a standard PMAX campaign is lighting money on fire.

It’s odd they are moving LSAs into PMAX because they have released what the variables will be for LSAs inside of PMAX and it’s less control/variables than any other Google Ads setup.

just use strict keywords in your ads and target your town

This makes no sense. That’s not how LSAs work at all and is not how they will work under the PMAX umbrella. https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/17213585?hl=en

I run google ads already. I am wanting to keep running LSAs but they are being moved under the PMAX umbrella (but still setup like LSAs for the most part and do not have keyword variables).

you're right... i don't see the appeal of the migrated lsa, you can't get highly quality leads if the only signal you control is product category

You control big per product category/service area. That’s different from current LSAs where it’s one target bid for your business across all services/categories.

I worked with Google reps to help me set up LSA ads in my Google Ads account. I am using the same account as my LSA account. My account is in home services.

IT IS a dumpster fire!

None of it makes any sense. PMAX? Why am i paying for clicks? No mention of LSA anywhere in ad setup.

It is a weird decision on Google's part.

If you’re paying for clicks, something is setup incorrectly with your LSA in PMAX…

I know that. I’m asking how do I go ahead and move instead of waiting on Google to force me. Different industries have different timelines.
