This mark symbolizes that Google has given that particular business for delivering high-quality of services or products. If you are a local service provider, delivering rich quality services then you should know more about Google Guarantee Badge and gain a badge for your Ads as well.
Why should your Google Ads have a Google Guarantee Badge?
Google has rolled in the concept of Google Guarantee Badge with the mission of rescuing customers from businesses that provide unworthy products and services. Google has also made this Google Guarantee visible by providing the guaranteed service providers with a badge below their ad title. This badge indicates that the particular service provider has been guaranteed by Google for offering high-quality products and services.
The reason that lies behind gaining this badge is that potential customers are more likely to choose your services rather than clicking on other Ads.
For instance; if a prospective customer has a problem with his drain being clogged and there arises as need for a reliable plumbing service, if your ads are being guaranteed by Google, the customer would select your services.
What does Google Guarantee cover?
- There are very few businesses whose services are not up to the user’s satisfaction, for those types of cases Google provides a claim up to the invoice amount, with a lifetime cap coverage for the customers.
- In some cases, damage to the property, dissatisfaction with the price charged or provider responsiveness or cancellation by customers will not be covered under Google Guarantee.
- Claims must submitted within 30 days of the early service completion date.
What is the maximum coverage for Google Guarantee?
The customers can claim up to “US – $2000, CA: CAD 2000.”
