Briefly

Google has updated its terms for Local Service Ads (LSAs), which advertisers must accept by June 5, 2025, to avoid losing eligibility for ad placement. The new terms, criticized for being overreaching, allow Google greater control over advertisers' content, including using it across other Google services. Additionally, Google reserves the right to utilize phone calls and messages related to LSAs. Notably, these terms can be accepted by agencies on behalf of the advertisers, raising concerns about transparency and control over data and content.
