Findability
- LocalBusiness structured dataNo structured data at all: no schema.org markup was found on the page, so nothing on it states the business type, the city it serves or its hours in a machine-readable form. Add LocalBusiness markup.
- City named in the page titleThe homepage title does not contain 'Washington' (currently 'Veteran Pest Control: Expert Services in Northern...'). Put the city in the title.
Content
- More than a brochure siteOnly 18 distinct internal links found on the homepage. This scan reads one page per site, so that is a count of what the homepage links to, not of the pages on the site. This check passes at 30 or more.
- Site looks maintainedThe most recent year anywhere on the page is 2020. This check passes at 2025 or later.
Trust
- Licensing, insurance or guarantee statedFew or no trust signals (licensed, insured, bonded, guarantee, years in business). This check passes at two or more distinct signals. State the ones this business carries.
AI visibility
- Machine-readable business identityNo LocalBusiness schema on the page, so the markup states neither the business type nor the place it serves. Add it.
- Opening hours in page textHours aren't stated in readable text. Put the opening hours in the page text.

Is this your business? Corrections are free and unconditional.
If you would rather not have a page here, write to me and I will take it down. You do not need to give a reason and I will not ask for one. Your page and its share image come down and your name stops linking to anything. Your row in the ranking stays, because the ranking is built from Google's public listings and dropping one business would misstate the market for everyone else in it. Removals are done by hand, so allow up to seven days. A removal is permanent and a later scan does not undo it.
Correcting what a business publishes so assistants can read it properly is work I do for a fee. If that is useful to you, say so in the same email and I will tell you what it would take. If it is not, the scan stays free and public either way.
