1Program Application & Google Guaranteed Badge

Google Guaranteed badges aren’t easy to get. They’re reserved for pest control companies that pass a rigorous Local Services application process. With the Blue Corona team on your side, we’ll walk you through the entire application process and help you navigate the required licenses, team background checks, and proof of insurance necessary to earn the coveted Google Guaranteed badge and become a Google Guaranteed advertiser.

Your Local Services profile is the face of your company when consumers search for pest control services near them. At Blue Corona, we help you optimize your Local Services profile with up to five different ways to highlight your business online and include unique value propositions to really make your business resonate with local customers.

3Ad Setup & Campaign Launch

Promote the pest control services that best suit your business. Our skilled team will work with you to optimize your ads for the specific services for which you want to be found online. Pest control companies can advertise any of the following services via Local Services ads: Ants, bed bugs, bees, cockroaches, fleas or mites, hornets and wasps, mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, termites, wildlife control, pest control inspections, and more.

4Ad Bidding & Ongoing Management

Local Services ads need constant management to be effective. Our team will watch over your ads to ensure they’re generating the most leads possible. We’ll even set your bid strategy and continually optimize your ads for peak performance. Your strategy will also be optimized according to Google’s Local Services ranking factors: Number of reviews and average rating, responsiveness, proximity, and bid.

6Lead Dispute

When you’re a Google Guaranteed pest control company, you gain the ability to dispute the cost of unqualified leads. If an unqualified customer contacts you through a Local Services ad, you can dispute the cost of the lead and get your money back. Work with Blue Corona and we’ll handle all lead disputes on your behalf, helping you save resources, time, and money on your investment.

What’s the Difference Between Local Services Ads and Pay Per Click (PPC)?

There are three primary differences that make Local Services ads unique from PPC advertising for pest control companies.

Pay Per Lead vs. Pay Per Click (PPC)

With Local Services ads, you pay for every lead generated via Local Services. If you don’t generate a qualified lead, you don’t pay Google.

With PPC ads, you pay every time a user clicks on your ad whether they become a lead or not. This gives Local Services ads a better return on your investment.

Google Guaranteed Badge vs. No Google Guaranteed Badge

Businesses advertising on Local Services are awarded a Google Guaranteed badge after passing a rigorous background check. With the badge, you instantly increase your brand’s trustworthiness and become eligible for lead disputes. Google will also refund unsatisfied customers who booked through Local Services ads, helping you save even more money.

Investing in PPC ads (or Google Ads) alone won’t earn you a Google Guaranteed badge or any of the associated benefits.

Lead Disputes vs. No Lead Disputes

Since Local Services ads are pay per lead, you don’t have to pay unless a lead is qualified. If an unqualified lead (e.g., outside of your service area, requesting service you don’t offer, etc.) contacts your business through a Local Services ad, you can dispute the cost of the lead and get your money back from Google.

PPC ads means you pay Google for each click your campaign generates. You can’t dispute a click, even if you don’t generate a lead.

Local Services Ads Ranking Factors

Not every pest control company can rank at the top of the search results. So, Google uses four primary ranking factors (similar to SEO for pest control companies) to determine which businesses rank at the top of Local Services results:

Number of reviews and average rating – Google rewards customer-friendly businesses. The higher your online reviews and the more reviews you generate, the higher your Local Services ads will rank.
Responsiveness – How quickly do you respond to customers who reach out through Local Services ads? The faster you respond, the higher your ad will rank.
Proximity to searchers – Local customers aren’t interested in faraway pest control companies. Google uses your Google My Business listing and other NAP citations to rank your ads higher for customers in your service area.
Maximum bid – Set your bid strategy to maximum bid per lead or to maximize leads to optimize your campaigns and generate calls from qualified customers. Learn more about Google’s Local Services bidding options.

Optimizing your Local Services ads for Google rankings can be technical. Avoid the hassle with Blue Corona. Our team will optimize your ads for you, ensuring you climb to the top of the search result pages without taking precious time out of your already-busy schedule.
