Google is rebranding and rolling out its advertising and verification for local service providers that launched in beta in 2015 as Google Home Services. Now known as Local Services by Google, the program has expanded to 17 US cities with plans to be in 30 cities by year-end, Google announced Tuesday.

Service providers can manage their campaigns and appointments through a new Local Services app, available on iOS and Android, rather than via AdWords Express. Businesses can control the number of leads they receive through the program by pausing and enabling their ads in the app. A personalized profile page shows reviews, contact info and unique aspects about the business. Ratings can come via Google My Business or from leads received through the program. Those reviews can then be verified by Google.

Another tool for price shoppers to find the lowest priced cleaner. Not interested.

Agreed. For cleaners, this is just a 'me too' version of Amazon's non-starter of a service program.

Get called at least 5 times a day from all over the country and even local numbers.

The people that call me from Google have Indian accents. We don't talk very long...

Paid position above adwords. Apparently they do background checks and such and Google guarantees up to 2k in lifetime services for each company. It's been out for 2 years and now going nationwide. Have a few clients wanting to try it will report back how it goes.
