When homeowners search \"pest control near me,\" Google decides which companies show up in that local 3-pack. If you're not there, you're invisible to ready-to-buy customers. In this episode, Adam Bennett and Elisabeth Pallante walk through exactly how to optimize your Google Business Profile to attract more local leads without spending a dime on ads. Your three key takeaways: Complete profiles get 7x more clicks than incomplete ones. Every empty field is costing you calls. Reviews are your secret weapon. More reviews plus better responses equals higher rankings. Weekly updates signal to Google that your business is active and trustworthy. Most pest control companies set up their Google Business Profile once and never touch it again. That's a mistake. Google rewards businesses that keep their profiles fresh, respond to reviews, and post regular updates. This episode gives you a simple system to turn your profile into a consistent lead source—one that works while you're out running service calls. In this episode, you'll learn: The 5 profile fields most pest control companies leave blank (and why they matter) How to respond to negative reviews without making things worse What to post weekly and how long it takes Why photos of your actual team and trucks outperform stock images The free Google tools that show you exactly how customers find you Resources mentioned: Get your free pest control marketing audit at marketingthatactuallyworks.ai Download the 20-Point Pest Control Marketing Checklist New episodes drop every Tuesday.
