Google released a new concept called The Google Guarantee which is provided by their Local Services section. It is described as a badge that customers online can see and know that your a trusted local company and backed up by Google. Since only companies that pass a screening and qualification process, customer can feel confident they are picking a quality service provider. Moreover, being backed by Google means that if for some reason a customer wasn’t satisfied by the work quality Google may be the one who pays for the service, rather than the customer. In a way it is an assurance for both customers and business owners, but it will only cover jobs scheduled via Google Local Services.
Customers using a Google Guaranteed business is assured up to $2,000 in money back should the service be unsatisfactory and their claim approved for reimbursement. Don’t worry Google will ask for your side of the story should a claim ever be filed, so you’ll have a say as well. It is said that it can cost less than running a Google Ad, and has a more promising increase in business.
