The Problem
Is Your Marketing Budget Disappearing Into a Black Hole?
You're a skilled tradesperson, contractor, or local service pro. You're great at what you do. But competing online? That's a whole different game — and most small business owners are playing it blind.
Paying Per Click, Not Per Customer
Traditional Google Ads charge you every time someone clicks — including price shoppers, competitors, and wrong-area tire kickers. Your money evaporates.
Invisible On Google
Your competitors show up with the blue "Google Verified" checkmark. Without it, customers scroll right past you — even if you're better and cheaper.
Leads That Don't Convert
You're getting calls, but they're spam, wrong-area, or low-budget. High lead counts masking terrible ROI. You don't know how to fix it.
No Idea How the Algorithm Works
Google's ranking system for Local Service Ads feels like a black box. Why does the competitor with fewer reviews rank above you? There IS a formula.
Google LSA advertisers sit above every PPC ad, every Maps listing, and every SEO result. The businesses in the Top 3 spots are quietly dominating their local market.
The Solution
The Complete Playbook To Dominate Local Search
To The Top is a no-fluff, field-tested guide written by a former local service business owner who spent 20 years testing every marketing channel available — and found that Google Local Service Ads are the single most powerful lead generation tool ever made available to small businesses.
This is not theory. It's not agency hype. It's the exact system used by real plumbers, HVAC companies, attorneys, dentists, and electricians to land in the Top 3 positions on Google — and generate predictable, scalable revenue from a pay-per-lead model that finally works in your favor.

About the Author
Written By Someone Who Actually Ran a Service Business
RJ
Rick C. James
Entrepreneur · Founder, Best3NearMe · Former Auto Glass Business Owner
Rick spent two decades running a local auto glass service business — answering phones, managing technicians, competing against larger chains, and figuring out what actually generates phone calls and booked jobs. He didn't learn marketing from a course. He learned it from payroll.
After testing every major marketing channel available to local businesses — SEO, PPC, directories, social media, referrals, paid lead services — his conclusion was clear: Google Local Services Ads are the most powerful and revolutionary marketing tool ever made available to small business owners.
He also founded Best3NearMe.Biz, a local business directory where he has analyzed thousands of local businesses, reviews, rankings, and lead flows — giving him a uniquely data-backed perspective on what separates businesses that struggle from those that dominate their market.

FAQ
Common Questions
I already run Google Ads. How is this different?+
Google Local Services Ads are completely separate from standard Google Ads. With regular Google Ads, you pay per click — whether or not it turns into a customer. LSAs charge you only when a real potential customer calls or messages your business. They also appear above all PPC ads in search results.
Is my industry eligible for Google Local Service Ads?+
LSAs are available across dozens of service verticals including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, legal, dental, real estate, pest control, cleaning, landscaping, and more. The book covers exactly how to check eligibility, and what to do if your category isn't yet available.
I'm not tech-savvy. Is this too advanced for me?+
Not at all. This book was written specifically for business owners — not marketers. Every step is written in plain language with practical examples. The sign-up walkthrough in Chapter 1 holds your hand through every step of setup. No marketing jargon, no agency-speak.
What if LSAs don't work for my area or niche?+
That's exactly what the 30-day money-back guarantee is for. If you implement the strategies in this book and don't believe it gives you a real, actionable system for growing your business, reach out within 30 days for a full refund. No questions asked.
Is this up to date for 2026 changes?+
Yes. This is the 2026 Edition, updated to reflect Google's October 2025 unification of the Google Guaranteed and Google Screened badges into the new blue "Google Verified" checkmark. All strategies and recommendations reflect current platform behavior.
