Search the Local Services block Google shows for a service query (for example "plumber near Chicago, IL") and get the advertised providers as structured local_ads. Each ad carries the business name, rating and review count, service type, years in business, location, opening hours, phone number and the Google place id. The response mirrors SerpApi google_local_services naming. Coverage is the Google Search Local Services block for US-market queries only: the badge (Google Guaranteed or Screened), the service area and the thumbnail are not present in that markup, and no pagination exists. Only the q, hl and gl parameters are supported. Requests that Google answers with a block page, a captcha, a consent page or a page without the block fail with a non-billable 503.
