How the work goes

  1. Step 1: A call with Offer

    Tell Offer, the founder, which pests and seasons you want more of.

  2. Step 2: License and profile first

    Your certification on the site, and a clean service-area profile.

  3. Step 3: Pest pages, then check in

    A page per pest and season, then a monthly look at your own data.

What the rules say

Many states require a license to apply any pesticide for pay, and EPA lets only certified applicators use restricted use products. A worried customer checks before letting a tech inside, so your certification belongs on your site. Pest control is also a Local Services Ads category, and a service area tells Google which towns you treat.

Many state pesticide regulatory agencies require applicator certification to use all pesticides commercially, whether or not they are RUPs.

Questions pest control companies ask

Should my license show on my website?

Yes. Many states require applicator certification for commercial pest control, and customers look for it. We put your license or certification number in the footer and on every pest page.

Do I need a page for each pest?

Yes. Someone with termites wants a page about termites, the inspection and what happens next, not a list of every pest you treat.

How do I sell recurring plans?

A follow-up after the first visit that explains the plan, a page for it, and seasonal reminders before the pests come back, such as ants in spring.

Who answers an urgent wasp call?

An AI phone agent can answer, ask what the pest is, where it is and how bad it looks, then pass the job to you. You decide what it says.

Should I run Local Services Ads?

Where they fit. Pest control is one of Google's Local Services Ads categories, and you pay only for leads. Offer will tell you on the first call whether they suit your area.
