When homeowners search \"pest control near me,\" Google shows three local businesses at the very top of the results—the local 3-pack. Those three listings get 93% of the clicks. If you're not there, you're invisible to ready-to-buy customers. In this episode, Adam Bennett, Elisabeth Pallante, and Chad Treadway walk through exactly how to optimize your Google Business Profile to dominate local search without spending a dime on ads. Your three key takeaways: Google Business Profile generates more qualified leads than any paid channel. Up to 60% of total leads can come from GBP, and these leads close at 30-40% because they're pre-qualified. Complete profiles get 7x more clicks than incomplete ones. The optimization checklist: claim and verify, complete every field, upload 20-30 photos, generate reviews systematically, and post weekly. Weekly updates signal to Google that your business is active and trustworthy. The routine: Monday review responses, Wednesday new photos, Friday Google Posts, monthly competitor audits. 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: Why the local 3-pack gets 93% of all clicks and how to rank in the top three The 5 profile fields most pest control companies leave blank (and why they cost you calls) How to generate 2-5 reviews per week without…","meta_description":"Episode 5: Google Business Profile - The Zero-Dollar Marketing Channel Your Google Business Profile might be the most powerful free marketing tool you're…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1596,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/pest-control-marketing-that-actually-works-7647545/episodes/google-business-profile-the-zero-dollar-marketing-channel/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pest-control-marketing-that-actually-works-7647545/google-business-profile-the-zero-dollar-marketing-channel.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
