Pest Control SEO Services

In the competitive world of pest control, standing out online is crucial for business success. For example, you might have a business in Albany, New York, that services a 30-mile radius around your location, but multiple companies do the same as you. In that case, you would want your Pest Control company to appear at the top of search engine results for people in that area searching for “pest control service” so they can get in contact with you. That is where local SEO from TM Blast comes into play.

Local SEO for Pest Control – How I would Improve the Keyword Rankings

Are you a pest control company looking to dominate your local market? If so, this video goes over how I would improve the Google My Business profile for a pest control company out in Albany, New York.

Google Maps Optimization

Local Falcon is a tool I use for all my local SEO clients. The tool helps me and my clients see where they rank for their target keywords around their location in Google Maps. The greener the dot, the better, so anything orange or red means that the listing is not on page one of Google since Google only displays three map pack listings on page one of their results. Getting into the three-pack for a term like “pest control near me” would result in more phone calls to any business since the phone icon is there on mobile devices to call.

I’ll be optimizing your Google My Business account with the following to help you with those rankings.

  • Updating your description
  • Removing unnecessary services
  • Adding secondary categories
  • Uploading new photos
  • Answering questions
  • Creating new updates
  • Making a product listing
  • Adding social media icons
  • Performing competitor gap analysis
  • And more!
Google My Business for a Pest Control Company

In this example above, Local Falcon shows me where a certain company ranks in New York for the keyword phrase “pest control service.” As you can see, the map becomes red as you get further away from their location in the bottom right corner.

Bing Maps Optimization

Bing can make up 5-15% of the SEO traffic for a pest control company. At a minimum, I will sync whatever changes I make in Google My Business into Bing. However, I’ve noticed that there are areas that you can further optimize for a pest control company in Bing. For example, you can change your industry to a “Professional Services” listing to showcase your service areas. Also, social media links don’t carry over from Google into Bing, so I manually add those for my clients.

Below is what I focus on for Bing Maps

  • Syncing the changes from Google Maps into Bing
  • Updating the service areas if they don’t carry over from Google Maps
  • Adding the social media icons that don’t carry over from Google

Apple Business Connect

Apple Business Connect is part of my local client’s SEO strategy. However, just like Bing, getting more squeeze from users using Apple Maps is worth the effort. From my end, I work with my clients to get them an Apple Business Connect page. Next, I help optimize their account with photos, their description, and any offers they can provide. Local Falcon can also track Apple Map rankings, but again, this is a small part of the SEO strategy I provide.

Below are some of the ways I’ll be optimizing your Apple Maps account for your insurance practice.

  • Writing your description
  • Adding relevant categories
  • Updating any relevant Apple-specific information that should be on the profile
  • Uploading new photos
  • Creating showcases
  • Performing competitor gap analysis
  • And more!
