The first step is the Google Business Profile, because it drives the map results. We check the categories, services, hours and photos for accuracy. Each service should match the way Merced customers describe their problem. Clean profile data gives Google a clear picture of the business.

Next, we build service pages for the main pests Merced customers call about. Each page explains the problem, the treatment and how to request a visit. Clear pages give Google and customers reasons to choose the business. Our site work also covers technical fixes that help pages load and index properly.

Listings on directories come next, so the name, address and phone number match everywhere. Matching details help Google trust the business and show it to more people. Call tracking and lead tracking show which pages bring in calls. Those numbers guide the next round of changes, so the plan keeps improving.

Most clients see movement in 30 to 90 days after the plan begins. Review requests start after the first completed job, so reviews build from the start. Site Garage gives the owner a portal to follow each step as it happens. Our team reviews progress with the owner, so the plan fits the business.
