Google is ramping up their Local Services Ads Platform to take on the healthcare industry. 

ADSQUIRE, a Google partner agency, just spotted new categories added to the Google local services ads platform as well as a number of additional policy changes that they believe are about to open up this ad platform for growth in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. 

In March of this year, Google announced that it was opening up the Local Services Ads platform to the healthcare industry by adding the dental profession, but we have recently seen them add a number of additional healthcare categories. 

These new categories include: Allergist, Chiropractor, Dermatologist, Dietician, Ophthalmologist, Optometrist, Orthodontist, Physical Therapist, Podiatrist and Primary Care Physician. 

This in turn with moves that Google has made in the past few years related to healthcare lead us to believe that this may also tie in with the pharmaceutical industry in the near future. Google recently added a policy manager section to the Local Services Ads Platform as well as the ad transparency center. Both of these moves signal that Google will increase certifications, and policy violations related to the Local Services Ads platform. While there are a few policy requirements currently we suspect these additions will be related more heavily with the healthcare industry. 

Last year Google finished their acquisition of Fitbit and this year they have partnered with the mayo clinic and other high profile healthcare networks to begin experimenting with Generative Ai in healthcare. 

ADSQUIRE is a leading provider of Google ads and Google Local Services advertising platforms. They have managed over $80 Million dollars in ad spend and are experts in Local Services Ads having given several masterclasses and keynote speeches to industry pros. If you need help with setting up and optimizing your Local Services Ads Call them at 267 -777-8004. 

Here is a screenshot of the new policy manager recently added to all Local Services Ads profiles (Below). We think the addition of the policy manager section could be related to increased regulation and policy disapprovals related to the healthcare industry.

Sleep plays a crucial role in our overall well-being, yet many people struggle to get enough quality rest. Poor sleep can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and even long-term health issues. Understanding the science behind sleep can help you develop better habits for a more restful night. The body follows a natural circadian rhythm, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Exposure to blue light from screens before bed can disrupt this rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep. Creating a relaxing bedtime routine—such as reading, meditating, or dimming the lights—signals to your brain that it’s time to unwind. In addition to lifestyle changes, optimizing your sleep environment is essential. Investing in a comfortable mattress and pillows, keeping the room cool, and reducing noise can significantly improve sleep quality. By prioritizing good sleep hygiene, you can wake up feeling refreshed and more energized each day.

Getting started with a workout routine can feel overwhelming, but the key is to keep it simple and consistent. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, or improve endurance, choosing the right beginner-friendly exercises can set you on the path to success. A well-rounded workout should include strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises. Bodyweight movements like squats, push-ups, and lunges are great for building strength without equipment. For cardiovascular health, brisk walking, cycling, or jump rope workouts can help improve endurance. Adding stretching or yoga to your routine enhances flexibility and prevents injuries. Starting with just 20-30 minutes a day, a few times a week, can make a significant impact on your fitness. The key is consistency—gradually increasing intensity and setting achievable goals will keep you motivated. With time, working out will become a rewarding habit that boosts both physical and mental well-being.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in endless to-do lists, social media distractions, and future worries. Practicing mindfulness helps bring awareness to the present moment, reducing stress and improving overall well-being. Mindfulness can be as simple as taking deep breaths, paying attention to your surroundings, or focusing on your senses. One effective practice is mindful meditation—sitting quietly, observing your thoughts without judgment, and bringing attention back to your breath. Even five minutes a day can have a profound impact on mental clarity and emotional balance. Beyond meditation, mindfulness can be incorporated into daily activities. Eating slowly and savoring your meals, walking outdoors while noticing the sights and sounds, or simply pausing before reacting to stressful situations can cultivate a more mindful life. By embracing mindfulness, you can enhance focus, improve relationships, and find more joy in everyday moments.
