FollowFire vs Google Local Services Ads
Google Local Services Ads (LSA) is a pay-per-lead advertising platform that puts your business at the top of Google search results and delivers leads directly to your phone. It's excellent at generating leads — but it can't control what happens after the lead arrives. FollowFire is what happens after: an instant AI reply that makes sure you respond to every LSA lead (and every other lead) in 60 seconds, so you win the job instead of the next contractor on the list.
FollowFire wins for contractors who get LSA leads but lose them because they're on a job when the call or form comes in.
Feature Comparison
Key Differences
LSA gets the lead. FollowFire wins it.
Google LSA is a lead generation tool — it puts your name in front of homeowners searching for your service. But the lead still has to choose you. If you're on a job and don't respond for 2 hours, they've already called someone else. FollowFire responds in 60 seconds, every time.
Pay-per-lead vs flat monthly fee
With LSA, you pay $15–150+ per lead. A slow response means you wasted that spend. FollowFire's $49/mo flat fee ensures you extract maximum ROI from every lead source — LSA, your website, Angi, Bark, or anywhere else.
They're complementary, not competing
The best contractors use Google LSA to generate leads AND FollowFire to convert them. LSA fills your pipeline; FollowFire makes sure every lead in that pipeline gets an instant, professional response before they hire the next contractor.
Google LSA got me the leads but I was losing half of them because I couldn't answer my phone on the job. FollowFire sends a text back in under a minute. Now I actually book those leads.
