Google has added a few new impression metrics for advertisers using the Google Local Service Ads platform. This was spotted by Ben Turner who wrote on X that he is “seeing impression share metrics in selected Google LSA accounts.”
He shared this screenshot that shows these three metrics:
Ad impressions: The number of times your ad appeared in search results during the selected date range.
Top impression rate on Search: During the selected date range, the percentage of your impressions that are shown anywhere above results that aren’t paid for.
Absolute top impression rate on Search: During the selected date range, the percentage of your impressions that are shown as the very first ad in search results.

Ben Turner said these metrics “could be useful.” He said, “metrics seem wildly different to an LSA ranking tool I briefly used,” adding, “one of them must be off.”
Google has confirmed this now:
