The Google Guarantee

You’ve heard of Checkatrade and TrustATrader, but you may not have heard of The Google Guarantee. Much like Checkatrade and TrustATrader, The Google Guarantee is another way of reassuring customers that they have chosen a reputable plumbing and heating business.

Having your business backed by The Google Guarantee will attract new customers. A guarantee badge will appear next to your business name and with Local Services by Google, you’ll appear at the top of the search, connect with customers in your area, and only pay when a customer gets in touch from your ad.

The Google Guarantee badge is available for businesses that pass a Google screening and qualification process through Local Services Ads.

If you’re backed by the Google Guarantee, and your customers (that came to your business through Local Services Ads) aren’t satisfied with the quality of your work, Google may, in its absolute and sole discretion, reimburse the customer up to the amount paid for the initial service, subject to a lifetime limit (which in the UK is £1500).

So, if a customer contacts you via your Google Guaranteed advert on Local Services they will be backed by the Google Guarantee whereby they can put in a claim if they are dissatisfied.
It’s worth noting though that there would be an investigation and you would be contacted before a refund is made. 

It is only available for certain trades which includes:


Plumbers, roofers, and electricians amongst other trades

More Information- CJRS and SEISS

As we start another week,  I felt it was important for me to share the latest updates with you regarding the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. HMRC Recovery Powers HMRC have put together the draft legislative package to reclaim payments under CJRS and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. This is subject to a HMRC consultation which comes to an end on 12th June. Under the draft legislation, HMRC will have the power, by way of a 100% tax charge, to recover payments which were either: Not due Not used to pay wages and PAYE Not used to make pension contributions Penalties will be imposed where there has been deliberate non-compliance. This comes at the same time as HMRC have notified that, to date, they have picked up on nearly 2,000 fraudulent CJRS claims to date. This is, in part, due to ongoing calls to their Fraud hotline number 0800 788887 and also through their online whistle-blower report webpage. Big reminder – 10th June last dat...
