Get found before the problem spreads
Pest control SEO
We get you showing up on Google when someone nearby finds termites or rodents.
What is SEO for pest control?
SEO means getting your business found on Google. When someone searches for pest control near them, Google shows three Google Business Profile listings first (the ones with the stars and the call button), then a list of websites. SEO is the work that gets you into both.
Why it matters: the three listings at the top get most of the calls, and pest jobs are urgent. If you are not there, the call goes to whoever is.

Who it is for
It suits pest control businesses that want the busy season to come to them. It pays off when:
- your work follows the seasons, and you want to be showing up before each one peaks
- termite inspections matter to you: 4,400 searches a month across Australia (Semrush AU, July 2026)
- repeat treatments are your bread and butter, so every new local client keeps paying off
This is the pest control version of SEO for tradies. How we do it for any trade is on local SEO for tradies, and the Australian listing rules are on local SEO in Australia. If you would rather set up your Google listing yourself, our Google Business Profile guide shows you how.
What people search for, in real numbers
These are real Google searches from across Australia. "Pest control near me" gets 12,100 a month and "termite treatment" 6,600. We pull the numbers for your suburbs before we build anything.

Lachlan from King Tradie is the top G of tradie website design, development, and management. I've worked with many website agencies and individuals, and no one comes close to Lachlan's attention to detail and high-end quality. He doesn't waste your time asking the same questions; in fact, he did his own research and made the onboarding and entire website development process easy. I normally get myself too involved in projects, but I literally only had to show up for the photography session. Lachlan handled the rest. If you want to skip the time and money wasters, go with King Tradie.

Since engaging Kingtradie two months ago my website traffic has doubled and most importantly my phone enquiries have doubled. Lachy was easy going and great to deal with. Highly recommend Kingtradie for SEO and website!

Lachy from King Tradie has been absolutely great to work with from the very beginning. He built my website and I couldn't be more happier. He's always checking in with me and has bright ideas for the future. He actually cares for my business and wants the best outcome for me. If you are looking for someone to design a website. Definitely reach out to Lachy.

Ryan
Highly recommend Lachie from King Tradie! He built a new website for my construction business and made the entire process simple and stress-free. I was able to hand over the reins and trust him to take control of the design and development, while still keeping everything clearly explained throughout the process. The finished website looks professional, the quality is excellent, and I'm extremely happy with the outcome. Most importantly, Lachie allowed me to stay focused on running my business instead of spending valuable time trying to build a website myself. Great service from start to finish!

Pest control SEO questions?
See if we answered it below.
What are the three businesses at the top of Google?
They are Google Business Profile listings. Search "pest control near me" and the three businesses at the top with stars and a call button are them. They get most of the calls.
What's the difference between the listings and the websites?
Two layers. The listings at the top run on your Google Business Profile, your reviews and the suburbs you list. The websites under them come up based on what the pages say, like "termite treatment cost". They help each other, and we do both.
How much does it cost?
It comes down to how many other pest businesses are competing in your area, and how much needs fixing first. It is a monthly service, because the listing, the reviews and the pages need to keep moving. For a small pest control business it usually lands in the low thousands a month. You get the exact number on a call, and there is no lock-in.
Does it actually work?
One review on this page says it plainly: two months in, twice as many people were finding that client on Google and twice as many were ringing. Pest control has a season on top, and a listing that is strong before termite season catches the rush instead of chasing it.
How many suburbs can I show up in?
You list the suburbs you treat and can show up across them without a shopfront. Keep it to areas you really service, and in line with where your reviews and jobs come from. Google checks.
How long does it take?
Expect the first movement in 4 to 8 weeks outside the big cities, and longer inside them. We aim the build-up at your next busy season.
What does a Google ad click cost for pest control?
Some pest searches reach $56 a click at the top end (Semrush AU estimate, July 2026). Most cost less, and it can take a few clicks to get one enquiry. Enquiries from your listing and your website carry no per-click cost.
Should I run Google ads as well?
Often, yes. Ads sit at the top of Google the day they go live, which suits urgent jobs. Clicks in this trade are dear, so we check the account every week and build the free side alongside it. More on Google Ads for tradies.
What should a pest control website have on it?
A page for each service (termites, general pests, rodents, end of lease), your licence, and plain answers about safety around kids and pets. Add real reviews, the suburbs you cover, and a phone number that is one tap away on a phone.
