What to fix first
Close the review gap
The top competitors have a median of 453 reviews. You have 109.
Get into the top 3 in more places
You make the top 3 at 6 of 25 points. Most people tap one of the first three results, so that’s where the calls come from. The competitors above you are the ones to compare categories, services and reviews with.
Pest control searches range from “pest control” and “exterminator” to specific problems like termites or bed bugs, and each returns its own results on Google Maps. Pest control companies work at the customer’s property, so Google ranks you by distance from your verified address, even when it’s hidden. The scan shows where that reach ends.
Common Business Profile categories for Pest Control Companies
- Pest control service
- Animal control service
- Bird control service
- Lawn care service
Your primary category is one of the clearest signals of what you do. Compare yours with the businesses that outrank you.
Questions about Google Maps for Pest Control Companies
How do I show up for “termite treatment” or “bed bug treatment”?
List each treatment you offer as a service on your profile and describe it on your website, so Google can match you to the search. Then scan the term: specialist searches can bring up different competitors than “pest control”.
Which primary category should a pest control company use?
Pest control service is the usual choice. Add Animal control service or Bird control service only if you take that work on.
Does “exterminator” give the same results as “pest control”?
Not always. They’re separate searches, so the businesses and your position can differ. Scan both if your customers use both.
Should a pest control company hide its address?
Yes, unless customers visit you there. Google asks service-area businesses to hide the address. It doesn’t change where you rank from, since distance is measured from the verified address either way.
Why does a large brand outrank me?
A large brand can have a branch close to the searcher, and distance counts. Where you’re closer, the difference comes from relevance and prominence, such as how well your profile matches the search and how your reviews compare.
Questions
How is the ranking measured?
We run the same Google Maps search from 25 points in a grid around your business and record where you appear at each one. Every search is placed at its point, with no personal search history attached.
Why do I rank differently across my area?
Because distance is part of the ranking. Google weighs how far each business is from the person searching, so your position changes as the searcher moves. Relevance and prominence affect how far out you still show up.
Is it free?
Yes. A scan of up to 25 points and one answer from each AI assistant are free, with no account needed.
What do you ask the AI assistants?
We ask each assistant on the card the question shown there, once, for your city, and check whether your business is named in the answer. If an assistant isn’t available in your country, the card says so.
Why do AI assistants name different businesses than Google Maps?
Because they answer a different way. An assistant answers for the whole city rather than for one spot, and builds its answer from what it finds on the web, such as review sites, directories and articles. The sources it cites show where it looked.
Is Listed Local part of Google?
No. Listed Local is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Google. A free scan only reads search results; it doesn’t change anything on your Business Profile.
