Google is moving Local Services Ads into Google Ads, and your performance reports won't transition.
Do you know how you'll tell if your leads get worse after the move?
LocalAdRescue saves the evidence and preps your account before the move, so you're not guessing what changed.
Google confirms
- Performance reports will not transition
- 14 days advance notice before your account moves
- Migration began August 2026
- HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other home services are in the first wave
“Your Local Services Ads performance reports will not transition to Google Ads. If you need your reports immediately, please take screenshots of them before migrating.”
What's changing
- Performance reports won't carry over
- Weekly budgets convert to daily
- Manual cost-per-lead bidding is going away
- Search campaigns using broad match or Automatically Created Assets are being switched to AI Max between September 1 and 30, 2026. No opt out.
Google calls this an upgrade. Your reports call it a goodbye.
Three questions before Google moves your LSA account
- 1If your lead cost changes after the move, what will you compare it to?
- 2If calls get worse, how quickly will you know whether it's tracking, budgets, setup, seasonality, or a real lead quality problem?
- 3If you can't show what changed, who is accountable for fixing it?
Google's historical LSA performance reports don't transition into Google Ads. If you want a clean before and after picture, the before needs to be saved before the account redirects.
What transfers. What doesn't.
Does not transfer
- Historical performance reports
- Access to the old LSA dashboard
Your leads may keep coming. Your ability to judge them may not.
The danger isn't that every lead disappears overnight. The danger is losing the benchmark you need to judge whether the new setup is working. You wouldn't change a major lead source without knowing its numbers. Google is changing yours anyway.
- Did cost per lead change?
- Did lead quality change?
- Did call volume change?
- Did something break in tracking?
- Did the budget or setup change?
The LSA Transition Baseline Plan
Step 1
Save the before picture
Export the historical reporting and benchmarks that won't carry into Google Ads.
Step 2
Check the transition
Review budget handling, campaign structure, and conversion tracking within the purchased scope.
Step 3
Enter the new setup with a baseline
Document what existed before the change so the business can assess what happens afterward without guessing.

Google announced it. Its own help page says your performance reports won't transition, and it tells you to save them before your account migrates. We link straight to Google above so you can check for yourself.
Most agencies juggle a hundred accounts. This migration needs someone in your account during a two-week window. We do this one job, charge a flat fee, and we're done.
You don't have to take our word for it. The price is flat, the deliverables are listed, and the $47 kit costs less than a service call if you want to try us first.
Nothing. No subscription, no lock-in. You keep everything we built. If you want us watching the account longer, that's what the Watch option is for.
You fill out a short form telling us your trade, your migration date if you know it, and what you want saved. We confirm within one business day and get to work. No call required.
Don't lose years of data.
We save your LSA performance reports and get your account ready for the transition.
Takes 10 minutes. No charge. No obligation.
