Local SEO Case Study · Pest Control
How a Pest Control Company Landed 3–4 Calls a Day in 90 Days
A focused local SEO and Google Business Profile campaign turned high-intent searches into a steady stream of inbound service calls — and cut ad spend along the way. Every number below is verified by Google's own platforms.
The Goal: Catch Customers at the Moment of Need
This pest control company wanted to capture demand at the exact moment homeowners and property managers were searching — termites, rodents, ants, prevention plans — and lean less on paid ads to do it.
Every number is Google-verified
No interpretation needed. Traffic comes from GA4, the calls and profile views come from the Google Business Profile, and the reviews come from Google itself. When all of those climb together, the result stands on its own.

Where the Traffic Landed
Growth concentrated on purchase-ready service and location pages — not generic blog traffic. That's the signal of qualified demand, not idle browsing.
| Service Page | Growth | Traffic Type |
|---|---|---|
| Pest Control Services (Main) | +160% | General searches |
| Termite Control & Treatment | +240% | High-intent specialty |
| Rodent Removal & Exclusion | +210% | Urgent service need |
| Ant & Roach Treatment | +180% | Common pest searches |
| Contact Page | +225% | Conversion intent |
| Service Area Pages | +300% | Location-specific |
The Shift Toward Organic
As organic visibility grew across Google and Bing — with AI-driven referrals starting to emerge — paid search was deliberately wound down.
| Traffic Source | Change |
|---|---|
| Google Organic | +170% |
| Direct Traffic | +145% |
| Bing Organic | +90% |
| AI-Driven Referrals | Emerging |
| Paid Search | −65% (intentional) |
The Number That Pays the Bills: Phone Calls
For pest control, a call is a booked job. Calls came straight from Google Search and Maps, climbing month over month to a steady 3–4 a day.
| Month | Service Calls | Daily Average |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | 72 | 2–3 calls/day |
| Month 2 | 96 | 3–4 calls/day |
| Month 3 | 118 | 3–4 calls/day |
42 New Reviews at 4.7+ Stars — the Validation Signal
Review growth is the one metric you can't fake. Each of these 42 reviews represents a real customer who called, booked, had the work completed, and chose to share it.
That's why reviews rising alongside traffic and calls matters so much — and a 4.7+ average says the work behind them was consistent. When visibility, calls, and reviews all move together across Google-verified platforms, it confirms the campaign produced real business activity, not just dashboard numbers. For pest control, most of that happens on mobile, through Maps, by phone — long before anyone fills out a form.

Questions About These Results
How long did these results take?
About 90 days. For local pest control, meaningful organic and Google Business Profile growth typically starts showing within 60 to 90 days of implementation.
Are these numbers real?
Yes. Traffic comes from GA4, calls and profile views from the Google Business Profile, and reviews from Google itself. Nothing here is estimated.
Why track calls instead of website form fills?
For pest control, most conversions happen on mobile through Google Maps — a customer finds the business, taps to call, and books. Measuring only form fills would miss most of the real activity.
How were 42 reviews generated in 90 days?
Through an ethical, systematic review process — real customers who scheduled service, had the work completed, and were asked to share their experience. Review growth can't be faked.
Did this require ongoing paid ads?
No — paid search was intentionally reduced by about 65% as organic search became the primary, more cost-effective source of leads.
Is there a contract?
No. D&D SEO Services works month-to-month with no long-term contracts.
Ready to Generate Consistent Pest Control Leads?
Consistent inbound leads. Real customers calling. Sustainable growth with no ad dependency. If local customers can't find you yet, let's fix that — month to month, no contracts.
