What Pest Select does not publish
The directory only works if the information on it is honest. These rules are baked into how Pest Select is built, not just the marketing copy.
No fake reviews
No fake ratings
No fake rankings
No fake verification claims
No fake endorsements
No claims that a company is licensed, insured, bonded, certified, or guaranteed unless that information can be clearly supported
No misleading “best company” claims
Sample data
Sample listings
Marked as sample listings
Some listings on Pest Select may be marked as sample listings during development or testing. Look for a “Sample listing” badge on the listing card.
Fictional placeholder data
Sample listings are fictional placeholder data. They are not real pest control companies and the contact information cannot be used to reach a real provider.
Excluded from the sitemap and noindexed
Sample company pages may be noindexed and excluded from the sitemap so they aren’t treated as canonical entry pages by search engines.
Real listings
Real company listings
As Pest Select grows, listings will represent real companies pulled from public information, submissions, and review.
- Real listings should be based on information that can be reviewed.
- Pest Select may include public company details but does not guarantee that every detail is current.
- Users should confirm pricing, service availability, licensing, insurance, and treatment details directly with the company before hiring.
Sponsored placements
How sponsored placements will work
Pest Select may offer sponsored placements in the future. The rules are simple and built into the product.
Always clearly labeled
Does not change rankings or ratings
No paid “verified” or endorsement language
Sponsored placement does not mean Pest Select rates, ranks, verifies, endorses, or guarantees the company.
Corrections and updates
How listing updates work
- Companies and users can request listing corrections through /update-listing.
- Update requests are reviewed before changes are made.
- Submitting a correction does not guarantee a change.
- Pest Select may verify corrections before updating a listing.
Company submissions
How submissions work
- Companies can submit their information through /list-your-company.
- Submission does not guarantee inclusion.
- Pest Select may review submissions before adding or updating a listing.
