Season 5, Episode 24Getting Real About Google Ads for Pest ControlIn this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis breaks down what pest control, wildlife control, and lawn care owners really need to understand before spending money on Google Ads.We discuss the difference between traditional PPC and Google Local Services Ads, why a Google Ads “conversion” is not always a real qualified lead, and how to think through the true cost of turning clicks into booked customers.Using a simple example of an $18 average cost per click, Casey explains how 8 to 10 clicks may create a Google Ads conversion, but once you factor in true lead quality and sales close rates, the real cost per new customer may be much higher than what shows inside the Google Ads dashboard.This episode also covers high-intent pest control keywords, the importance of strong landing pages, clean tracking, call handling, speed-to-lead, and recurring service value.The big takeaway: Google Ads can work extremely well for pest control companies, but only when the full system is built correctly—from the search keyword to the booked customer.Website: RhinoPestControlMarketing.comEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (866) 661-4107Podcast: The Pest Control Marketing Domination PodcastContact Rhino Pest Control Marketing

Every lead has a cost, and every call is an opportunity to book an inspection, schedule a service, or win a recurring customer.Casey explains a simple five-step framework for taking control of the conversation:Prep and IntroductionFact FindingPresentationRecommendationCloseThis episode pays special attention to preparation and fact finding. Before answering the phone, your team must know your services, pricing, offers, bundles, scheduling options, guarantees, and common answers. Once the call begins, the goal is not to rush straight to price. The goal is to ask the right questions, uncover the customer's real issue, and recommend the right solution based on what they told you.If your pest control company is spending money on Google Ads, Local Services Ads, SEO, social media, postcards, door hangers, or referrals, you cannot afford to lose calls because of poor phone training.The phone is not just customer service.The phone is sales.The phone is trust.The phone is where the appointment gets booked.Why phone sales matter in pest controlHow to create a confident phone introductionWhat every phone rep must know before answering callsThe importance of fact findingQuestions to ask pest control customersHow to present your company without overexplainingHow to recommend the right serviceHow to close the call and book the appointmentWhy confirmation by text and email mattersCommon mistakes that cost pest control companies salesIf you want more pest control leads to turn into paying customers, train your team to stop simply answering the phone and start guiding the conversation.Key TopicsEpisode TakeawayReady to improve your pest control marketing, phone sales process, lead follow-up, or CRM automation?Visit Rhino Pest Control Marketing:https://rhinopros.com/Schedule a strategy call:https://rhinopros.com/contact/Listen to more episodes of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast:https://rhinopros.com/podcast/casey@rhinopros.com925-484-8383Connect with Casey Lewis and Rhino Pest Control Marketing for help with:Pest control websitesGoogle Ads and Local Services AdsSEO and content strategyAI receptionistsHighLevel CRM setupReview campaignsLead tracking and sales automationPest control phone sales trainingThe phone is where marketing becomes revenue.

Why is the garlic browning early? What do you do about squash vine borers? This episode walks through the real questions from that visit, with practical answers on companion planting, succession planting, tomato blight, and growing celery in a hot, humid climate.

Pest Control Marketing Domination PodcastSeason 5, Episode 21Hosted by Casey LewisPest control SEO is changing.For years, many companies approached search-engine optimization by identifying a keyword, creating a page and repeating the phrase enough times to hopefully earn a ranking.That strategy is no longer enough.In this episode, Casey Lewis explains why pest control companies need to move beyond isolated keywords and start building genuine topical and local authority.Today's customers are not only typing short search phrases into Google. They are asking complete questions through voice search, reviewing AI-generated answers and using platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini to research services and compare companies.To remain visible, pest control websites need to provide more than keyword-focused service pages. They need organized content, meaningful local context, real-world experience and clear evidence of expertise.Casey discusses:Why traditional keyword-chasing strategies are becoming less effectiveThe relationship between content, context and authorityHow pillar pages and topic clusters strengthen pest control SEOWhy random blog articles rarely create meaningful authorityHow to organize content around high-value servicesWriting for customers, Google, AI-generated results and voice searchUsing real technician knowledge to demonstrate experienceStrengthening local authority with better city and service-area contentCreating content for every stage of the customer journeyThe continued importance of technical SEOConnecting organic traffic to leads, appointments and revenueHow SEO and paid advertising can work togetherCommon pest control SEO practices companies should stop usingA practical framework for building authority throughout 2026Keywords still matter, but keywords should be treated as clues rather than the complete strategy.They help businesses understand customer demand, search behavior and the language people use when describing pest issues.The larger goal is to build enough useful and connected information that search engines, AI platforms and potential customers recognize the company as a credible authority.A single termite page may target a keyword.A complete termite topic cluster demonstrates expertise.That cluster might include information about inspections, treatments, warning signs, termite species, swarmers, mud tubes, damage, repairs, warranties, real-estate reports and frequently asked questions.When these resources are properly connected, they create a much stronger foundation for long-term visibility.Do not simply create more pages.Create more value.Do not build a website around disconnected keywords.Build an organized resource around the services your company wants to sell.The pest control companies that win in 2026 will be the companies that consistently demonstrate experience, expertise, local relevance and trust.Casey Lewis is the host of the Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast and the founder of Rhino Pest Control Marketing.Rhino helps pest control, wildlife-control and lawn-care companies grow through:Website design and developmentSearch-engine optimizationTopic-cluster and content strategiesGoogle Ads and Local Services AdsHighLevel CRM implementationAI receptionist systemsLanding pages and lead-generation campaignsEmail, text-message and review campaignsSocial media and video marketingLocal search and Google Business Profile optimizationWebsite: RhinoPestControlMarketing.comPodcast: Pest Control Marketing Domination PodcastHost: Casey LewisEmail: casey@rhinopros.comSubscribe to the podcast for more practical conversations about pest control marketing, advertising, websites, sales systems, CRM technology, artificial intelligence and business growth.#PestControlMarketing #PestControlSEO #LocalSEO #SEO2026 #PestControlBusiness #ContentMarketing #TopicClusters #PillarPages #AISEO #GoogleSEO #PestControlAdvertising #DigitalMarketing

Their stated mission is to preserve the peace of civil society and clear the way for settlers and farmers. Each guild hall has its own leadership and rules; some deal only with fellow Harrowers, while others post bounties publicly and act as a liaison between client and hunter. Whether for members or freelancers, Harrower contracts are usually not very lucrative—the guild prides itself on accepting contracts on behalf of the less fortunate who might not otherwise have recourse, and its mission is a moral one rather than a financial one.   This week, on The Stormwrought Shores, Pest Control.    Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/unexploredcast Follow us on Tumblr: https://unexploredcast.tumblr.com/ Art by Ben Music by Andrew: https://andrewperricone.bandcamp.com/ Transcripts: https://unexploredcast.tumblr.com/transcripts

Pest control isn't just about bugs. It's how we think about being proactive landlords who protect profit, reduce stress, and create a better tenant experience. We've learned that waiting for problems to happen is one of the most expensive mistakes we can make. Spending $50–$150 quarterly on preventative pest control is far cheaper than dealing with emergencies, tenant turnover, or property damage later. The bigger shift for us has been thinking ahead. We make sure our leases clearly outline pest responsibilities, we communicate expectations with tenants, and we stay on top of regular inspections so small issues don't turn into big ones. We also approach properties differently: With single-family homes, tenants often handle pests With multifamily, we take more responsibility to prevent issues from spreading From experience, we know how quickly things can escalate—one pest issue can lead to damage, bad reviews, or a tenant moving out. At the end of the day, we remind ourselves: it's not about the cost, it's about what that cost prevents. Our goal is simple: solve problems before our tenants ever see them.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

If you've ever answered your door and immediately regretted it… congratulations, you're already emotionally prepared for this episode.We kick things off with what might be the most aggressively awkward sales pitch in history: a pest control guy rolling up on a Segway, calling people “big man,” and somehow making things worse with every sentence. It quickly turns into a full-blown breakdown of door-to-door etiquette—like, is 7pm too late to knock? And how fast is too fast to slam the door in someone's face?From there, the show pivots (hard) into National Concert Day, which triggers a flood of stories ranging from “that was awesome” to “I think I lost blood and dignity.” The crew debates mosh pits, crowd surfing, and whether filming concerts has officially ruined the experience… or if we're just old now.Then comes the real chaos: a 17-year-old wants to drive to Chicago for a concert. On a school night. With a questionable plan. And suddenly the entire show becomes a live parenting intervention. Do you let them go for the “adventure,” or do you step in before it turns into a true crime podcast?We also hit celebrity chaos, music debates (including the greatest guitar solos ever), and somehow end up arguing about shock rock like it's a courtroom case.It's messy, it's hilarious, and it's exactly what you expect from a daily comedy show that thrives on real-life nonsense. Whether you're here for the stories, the arguments, or just to feel better about your own decisions, this daily comedy show delivers.So buckle up, ignore the Segway guy at your door, and enjoy another completely reasonable episode of your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
