Websites and marketingfor pest control companies.
Nobody shops around for long when there are mice in the kitchen. They call whoever looks most certain. I design the site, build it, then run the search, email and ads that keep the enquiries coming.

How pest control companies win customers online, and what I would put in place to win more of them.
How customers choose
Pest control is bought in a hurry and with some embarrassment. Someone has found droppings in the kitchen or a wasp nest by the door, they want it gone today, and they want to be sure the company knows what it is doing. They search the pest, not the profession, and they call the first company that sounds certain and available.
What the website has to do
That makes pest-specific pages the most valuable thing on the site. A page for mice, rats, wasps, bed bugs, cockroaches and so on, explaining the signs, the risks and how treatment works, matches exactly what people type. Each one should end with a same-day callback form and a phone number. Commercial customers need their own page about contracts, inspections and compliance paperwork.
What keeps it busy
Repeat business comes from follow-up treatments and annual contracts, so automated reminders and check-in messages after a job matter. Reviews are especially persuasive in this trade because customers worry about discretion and effectiveness, and a steady stream of them keeps your Google profile at the top of the map when the next infestation sends someone searching.
Where it usually leaks
The places pest control companies most often lose a customer who was ready to buy.
- Pages talk about the company instead of the pest, which is what people actually search.
- Calls missed while you are on a job go straight to the next company on the map. Most callers never leave a voicemail.
- Competitors with fewer years and worse work outrank you on Google Maps because their profile is better kept.
- Quotes go out and nobody follows up, so they quietly go cold.
Where I’d start
A Google Business Profile that wins the map pack, a page per service and per area, and an automatic text back to every missed call.
- A page per pest with signs, risks and treatment
- A same-day callback form
- Commercial contract enquiry page
- Follow-up reminders for repeat treatments
What your customers search
Each of these deserves a page that answers it directly. That is what ranks on Google, and what AI assistants quote when someone asks them instead.

- How much does a website for pest control companies cost?
- It depends on the project, so there is no rate card. The number comes from how many pages and services the site covers, whether it needs booking, payments or integrations, and whether you want the marketing run after launch. After a 30-minute call you get a written scope and a quote, usually within two working days, and I will tell you honestly what your budget can do well.
- Do you work with pest control companies anywhere in the world?
- Yes. I work with anyone, anywhere, fully remotely. Calls are booked at a time that suits us both, and everything else runs in writing, so the distance rarely matters. I have delivered for clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and France.
- Do I need a website if I already get work from referrals?
- Referrals still look you up before they call. A referral who finds a slow site or no reviews often calls the next name instead, and you never hear that it happened. The site does not replace word of mouth; it stops you losing it.
- How do I show up for nearby towns, not just my own?
- A page for each area you genuinely serve, with real detail about the work you do there, plus a Google Business Profile with the service area set properly. One page listing twelve town names does not rank for any of them.
