Google Local Service Ads

I was curious if anyone was using Google Local Service Ads. I had been using them until last year but then they changed their policy and I needed to get a general contractors license to be apart of it. The cost of the insurance and bond alone to get a general contractors license would be over $3,000 a year so that’s a huge leap just to be able to pay for advertising, but with only having to pay when you have a lead instead of clicks like with google ads it was seemingly really lucrative.

Does anyone use this?
