Local Service Ads Vouchers Stopping Us Getting Them?

[UKSBD]

We have a £400 credit voucher if we spend £400 by a set date.

All was running nicely, and we spent £320 so far

Now, with less than a week to go everything has slowed down and it looks like we may not spend the £400 by the deadline.

We have increased budget, increased areas, increased max click, but no joy, it is almost as though Google is deliberately stopped our spend so we aren't eligible for the £400 credit.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, I've definitely experienced accounts where budget increases, location expansion, and max CPL increases resulted in no measurable lead volume increase - or spend.

But, here in the States, a Google rep confirmed to us that these promo credits only apply to Google Ads. Not LSAs.

Is that different in the UK? Maybe try autobidding in an attempt to jack up the spend if so.

The message about the voucher was in our Local Service Ads panel, so hopefully it applies to that too, no mention anywhere that it doesn't.

We managed to get up to the £400 spend with a day to spare and the status of the voucher has now changed to *Processing"

It then says it typically takes 35 days before we get the credits.

We will see!
