Why it matters here

What's different about pest control companies

Every trade loses customers a different way. Here's how yours does it.

Pest is an emergency search.

Nobody shops around for termites. They search, they scan the three businesses in the map pack, and they call. If you are number four, you did not lose on price — you never got the call.

You already earn the reviews. Nobody asks for them.

Your techs solve a genuinely stressful problem and then drive away. That customer would leave a five-star review if someone put it in front of them within the hour. Almost nobody does.

Recurring accounts are your whole business.

Quarterly and annual plans are where the margin lives. A customer who quietly lapsed last year is not gone — they are just not being asked. That is what the monthly win-back campaign is for.

only look at reviews written in the last three months. Old reviews stop counting.
89%
expect the owner to reply. 80% are more likely to buy from a business that replies to every review.

Every month, without fail

Three jobs, done consistently

Reviews

Every completed job triggers a request timed to when people actually respond, written to sound like you. Nothing for your crew to remember and no app to install.

Google Business Profile

Categories, services, service area, photos, posts, and Q&A — worked every month, not set once and forgotten. Plus a real written reply to every review that lands.

Win-back

Almost every profile we open looks like this. The top three are set once at signup. The bottom four are what actually move you.

Questions

Pest Control-specific questions

Will this help me rank in the map pack for pest control?
It is one of the two levers that actually move. Google weighs proximity, relevance, and prominence. You cannot change where the searcher stands. You can change your profile's relevance — categories, services, photos, posts — and its prominence, which is mostly review volume, rating, and recency. That is exactly what we work on every month.
My techs are already busy. Does this add work for them?
One text per completed job, sent by us, not them. No app, no tablet, no new step in the truck. If you want techs to trigger it manually we can set that up, but the default is hands-off.
What does the win-back campaign look like for pest control?
Once a month we email and text a slice of your customer list with something seasonally relevant — ant season, mosquito season, rodents moving indoors in the fall. It is written to sound like you, not like a marketing blast. Lapsed quarterly accounts are usually the highest-value slice.
