Pest control marketing

Pest control marketing that turns one-time calls into recurring customers

The first call pays for the truck roll. The recurring plan pays the bills. We help you get found for both, and keep customers coming back.

Search map

What do pest control customers search for?

Each pest brings a different kind of customer. A page per pest, written for the person dealing with it, is the backbone of pest control SEO.

  • Termites

    “termite inspection” · “termite treatment cost”

    High value, researched. Win with a detailed page, reviews and fast inspections.

  • Rodents

    “mice in house” · “rat exterminator near me”

    Urgent and seasonal in colder months. Ads plus a clear rodent page.

  • Bed bugs

    “bed bug exterminator” · “bed bug treatment”

    Urgent and private. Discreet wording and a quick way to book.

  • Mosquitoes

    “mosquito control” · “yard mosquito treatment”

    Seasonal and recurring. A natural fit for monthly plans.

  • Ants and roaches

    “ant exterminator” · “roach control near me”

    Everyday calls that turn into quarterly service.

  • Wildlife

    “raccoon removal” · “squirrel in attic”

    Only if you do it. A separate page keeps the right calls coming.

These are example searches. We check real search volume for your area before building anything.

Recurring revenue

How do pest control companies turn one-time calls into recurring plans?

Four steps. Most companies do the first one well and skip the rest.

  1. One-time job

    First call

    Someone has a problem today. Show up in Maps and ads, answer fast, solve it.

  2. Follow-up

    A few days later, check the treatment worked and ask for a review.

  3. The offer

    Explain why one treatment rarely ends it, and offer a simple quarterly or monthly plan.

  4. Recurring revenue

    Recurring plan

    Reminders before each visit, easy rescheduling, and a thank-you on renewal.

Website and SEO

What should a pest control website have?

A page for every pest you treat, a clear recurring plan, and a phone number nobody has to hunt for.

  • Your phone number at the top of every page, tap-to-call on mobile
  • A page per pest you treat, written for the person dealing with it
  • A clear explanation of your recurring plans and what they include
  • Licensing and safety info (pets, kids), stated plainly
  • The towns you service
  • Reviews pulled onto the site, linked to your Google profile

Websites are included in every plan. See contractor websites and local SEO.

Templates

What should pest control companies text customers?

Two texts that turn a one-time job into a recurring customer.

Follow-up after the first treatment
  1. You: Hi [Name], it's [Company]. Just checking in after Tuesday's treatment. Seeing any more activity? If you're happy with how it went, a quick review helps a lot: [review link]
  2. Customer: All good so far, thanks!
  3. You: Great to hear. Most [pest] problems come back without ongoing service. Want details on our quarterly plan? It's [price] per visit and covers [what's included].
Visit reminder (recurring customers)
  1. You: Hi [Name], your quarterly service with [Company] is coming up on [date]. Reply 1 to confirm or 2 to pick another day.

Lead math

How many pest control leads do you need?

Work backward from your revenue goal. Change any number and the answer updates.

These are example numbers. Swap in yours.

400 leads a month

about 93 a week, to book 200 pest control jobs a month

Raise your close rate and you need fewer leads for the same revenue. Fast follow-up and good reviews do that. More leads and better closing is where the growth is.

Talk through your numbers

Pest control leads

Should you buy pest control leads or build your own?

Bought leads can fill a slow week. Your own lead flow keeps paying you back, because nobody else gets your calls.

Bought leads

  • Often sold to several companies at once
  • You pay for each one, every time
  • Nothing builds up when you stop paying

Your own lead flow

  • Calls and forms come to you and only you
  • Reviews, rankings and your site keep working
  • You see exactly where every customer came from
  • Get Found$250/moWebsite, Google profile and a CRM
  • Get Leads$1,000/moEverything in Get Found, plus ads on one platform
  • Get Everything$3,500+/moThe full stack, scoped to your market

On plans with ads, ad spend is paid by you, directly to the ad platform, separately from our fee.

What is pest control SEO?

Pest control SEO is the work that helps your company show up in Google when people search for things like “exterminator near me” or “termite inspection in [city].” It covers your Google Business Profile, a page for each pest you treat, your reviews and the technical health of your website.

What's the best marketing for a pest control company?

Show up where urgent searches happen (Google Maps and Google Ads), answer fast, then turn one-time customers into recurring plans with good follow-up. Recurring plans are where pest control companies make most of their money, so marketing should feed them.

How do pest control companies get recurring customers?

Follow up after the first treatment, explain why ongoing service prevents the problem coming back, and make the plan simple: a clear price, a set schedule and reminders before each visit.

Should I buy pest control leads?

Bought leads are often shared with several companies, so you're racing them to the same customer, and nothing builds up when you stop paying. Your own lead flow keeps working through your reviews, rankings and website.

How much does pest control marketing cost with you?

Get Found is $250/mo for a website, Google Business Profile management and a CRM. Get Leads is $1,000/mo and adds ads on one platform. Get Everything starts at $3,500/mo. Ad spend is paid separately, directly to the ad platform.

Can you guarantee more pest control customers?

No one honest can guarantee results. What we can do is build your marketing properly, track every call and form, and show you plainly what's working.

Let's figure out where your next customers come from.

On a strategy call we look at where your leads come from now, where they could come from, and whether we're a good fit. No pressure, no jargon.
