Working Edinburgh as a pest-control
If you are a pest-control in Edinburgh and you are wondering why the new business in Bruntsfield is suddenly busier than you, the answer is almost certainly that they sorted their Google Business Profile and you have not. We sort yours.
If you cover Portobello, Morningside, Stockbridge and the surrounding EH postcodes as a pest-control in Edinburgh, your customers are mostly searching for bed bugs or wasp nests. The pest-control work in Edinburgh tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
What We Do
When we look at pest-controls in Edinburgh who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the pest-control keywords Edinburgh customers actually use. The whole package, run by us so you don't have to think about it. Website. Google profile. Reviews. SEO. Missed-call recovery. Quote follow-ups. Monthly report. You keep doing your job, we handle the online side.
Specifically for pest-controls in Edinburgh, we monitor about 25 local search terms that bring buying intent for pest-control services. We update your Google profile weekly with fresh photos and posts, and we run automatic review requests after every pest-control job. The whole pest-control package costs £199/month.
Most calls pest-controls get are for rat and mouse infestations, bed bugs, or bird proofing. The work is governed by British Pest Control Association (BPCA), National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) and the typical pest-control customer is homeowners with pest problems, restaurants and food businesses, commercial premises. Most pest-controls we work with see those exact problems make up four out of five jobs.
Why Pest Controls Lose Calls Around Here
For pest-controls working Edinburgh, the picture looks like this. Most pest-controls in Edinburgh are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. If you ask the average local business owner what their marketing is, the answer is usually 'word of mouth'. Word of mouth is great. It is also slow, unpredictable, and dries up the moment your best customers move house. Google is the bit that backs it up.
Real Clients We Already Run
Pest Controls in Edinburgh are competing with 80-150 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy pest-controls from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. What we have instead of fancy case studies: seven real businesses paying us monthly. Plumbers in three different towns. Heating engineers in two more. A paving firm. A bathroom fitter. All English-speaking owners we text directly.
Next Step: A Free Audit
The free audit is the no-pressure way to see what we would actually do for you. We check your site, your reviews, your Google profile, and your nearest competitors. You decide what to do with the information.
The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO covers your Google Business Profile (run weekly with fresh posts and photos), your website (on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls), and your citations (consistent across the 30+ directories Google checks). Three pillars, all maintained continuously.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
What It Costs
Honest pricing, no asterisks: £199 one-time setup and £199 every month. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. The site is yours forever, even if you cancel after the third month.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel anytime after the first three months.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
We handle every technical step. Website build, hosting, domain setup, DNS, Google Business Profile verification, schema markup, analytics. None of that is your job. You just answer the phone when calls come in.
What if I already have a website?
Easy. We migrate the existing site across and keep everything that is working. The domain stays yours. We just rebuild it on faster infrastructure and fix the things that are losing you calls.
How long until I see results?
We do not guarantee a number of leads or a ranking position because nobody can do that legitimately. We guarantee the work is done, the report is honest, and the system stays running. The results follow if you let it run for the three-month minimum.
Can I cancel?
Three-month minimum, then rolling. Cancel whenever, no fuss. The website stays yours, the domain stays yours, and we send you a clean handover so nothing breaks.
