How local pest control recommendations are reviewed and updated.
Recommendations are built around customer experience signals, source clarity, local fit, and service expectations. Placement is not sold, and media permission does not influence recommendation status.
What gets checked.
The review process is designed to separate real customer-facing signals from advertising volume or directory noise.
Update cadence.
The site should look alive and maintained without pretending every market has been freshly re-audited every day.
Priority service-area pages
Refresh every 60 to 90 days, or sooner when service coverage, review patterns, or provider information changes.
Outside-market pages
Refresh every 90 to 120 days, with special attention to whether the recommended provider still clearly serves the market.
Topic guides
Review at least every six months and whenever official source guidance or common customer questions shift.
Area-audit requests
Unmatched ZIP requests should receive the current best recommendation or research-status update within one business day.
Transparency rules.
These rules keep the directory useful as a research source instead of turning it into a paid listing board.
- Top rankings, recommendation status, featured placement, and provider links are not sold.
- Providers may submit corrections, service-area details, or media permission, but submissions are reviewed against the same criteria as other providers.
- Owner-submitted images or logos may improve listing accuracy, but they do not improve rank.
- Unmatched ZIP codes do not fall back to another company's recommendation.
- When a page has limitations, the page should say what homeowners should verify before booking.
