Most business owners trust Google to make the tech space a little more enjoyable and easier to explore. Google Guaranteed was introduced towards the end of 2018. This program was launched in Canada and consists of ads for local services, which work by targeting a few segments of the home service industry. It works best for companies using Google local services since this particular program guarantees an excellent end product for most consumers and also helps in the prevention of any fraudulent services.

Now that Google's local ads have become such a common feature, let's look at what Google Guaranteed entails.

What does Google Guaranteed Mean?

The Google Guaranteed program is used for targeting local business ventures in the home services segment. Being a constituent of the Google AdWords product, all of these listings are more of an enhancement for Google Ads. Because this program is still under the beta testing phase, it is only available in certain areas of the USA and Canada. Google Guaranteed has a screening process that a business must undergo before being listed. This ensures that the business is valid for home services.

The screening process includes verifying the business's insurance as well as conducting background checks. The business venture needs to have liability insurance with an owner license and a proper business license too. Once this whole screening process has been done, your business will be able to come under the Google Guaranteed program.
