Evident ID Verification Process for Attorney’s Local Services Ads
Until around 2012, Google Local Services Ads (LSA) required Identity verification. Google used to use Pinkerton, then later switched to Evident, a third party which verifies user’s identity. Google announced this to attorneys in some states via email May 27, 2025 in an email titled “Complete identity checks by July 25th, 2025 to continue running ads on Local Services Ads”.
