Google Business Profile for pest control businesses in India
Updated 3 Oct 2026 by TopOnMaps team
Quick answer
Use "Pest control service" as your primary category and list each treatment, like cockroach, termite, bed bug and mosquito control, as its own service. Customers worry about chemicals at home, so explain safety in plain words: what you use, and how long to stay out. Ask for a review after the treatment has worked, usually a week or two later, not on the day of spraying.
Pick your categories
Primary category
Pest control service
Also add, if they fit
- House cleaning serviceAdd only if you also do deep cleaning.
- Upholstery cleaning serviceAdd only if you also clean sofas and mattresses.
- There's no separate category for termite control. List termite treatment as a service instead.
- Add "House cleaning service" only if you also do deep cleaning as a real service.
Treatments to list
Each pest is a separate search. Add a short line on how the treatment works and whether people need to leave the house.
- Cockroach control (gel or spray)
- Termite treatment, pre-construction and post-construction
- Bed bug treatment
- Mosquito control
- Rodent control
- Wood borer treatment
- Annual maintenance contracts for homes, offices and restaurants
- Sanitisation, if you offer it
Photos that work
- Your technicians in protective gear at work.
- Your equipment, like sprayers and fogging machines.
- Your vehicle with tools.
- Termite damage you've found and treated, with the owner's permission.
- Your team, so customers recognise who's coming.
- Avoid gross close-ups of pests. They put people off more than they help.
What to post about
- Monsoon termite and mosquito season: book early.
- Before Diwali cleaning, cockroach and general pest treatment.
- Before you move into a new flat, a treatment before your furniture goes in.
- Safety notes: what to keep covered, how long to stay out, and pets.
- Restaurant and office maintenance contracts.
When and how to ask for reviews
Pest treatment takes time to show results. Ask after the follow-up visit or when you call to check a week or two later, once the customer sees fewer pests.
Plan a check-in call
Note a date to call the customer after the treatment. Ask how it's going.
Ask when they say it worked
Ask for a Google review on that call and send the link on WhatsApp.
Fix complaints first, but ask everyone
If it didn't work, offer the re-treatment your terms cover. Then ask for a review like everyone else.
No free services for reviews
Don't offer a free extra treatment in exchange for a review.
Whenever you ask, Google's rules apply: ask every customer, not only the happy ones, and never offer anything in return for a review.
Mistakes to avoid
Showing an address customers don't visit
If customers never come to your office, hide the address and set the areas you serve.
Big claims about safety or guarantees
Words like "100% safe" or "lifetime guarantee" can lead to complaints. Say exactly what you use and what your warranty covers.
Pest names in your business name
"Shield Pest Control" is fine. "Shield Termite Cockroach Bed Bug Control Pune" can get suspended.
Questions
Should I mention the chemicals I use?
Explaining what you use and how safe it is helps customers trust you, especially families with children and pets. Keep it accurate and avoid claims you can't back up.
I have offices in two cities. One profile or two?
Two, if each office has its own staff and address. Each should set its own service area.
