Google Ads Local Results API

When a Google search contains sponsored results near the specified area, they are parsed and exist within the local_ads object in the JSON output. Results can contain title, link and ads. Individual ads blocks can contain title, rating, service_area, hours, phone and more.

To access the full list of local ads you can use our Google Local Services API.


The API endpoint is https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google_ads
