In Season 5, Episode 19 of the Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis discusses how well-planned content helps pest control companies build organic authority, improve SEO, and support Google's EEAT principles: experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.This episode explains how pillar pages, topic clusters, blog articles, guides, videos, social posts, FAQs, and Google Business Profile updates work together to strengthen a pest control company's online presence.Casey also discusses the importance of content volume, message consistency, and topic ownership before expecting long-term SEO results. Using examples such as green, eco-friendly pest control in California's Central Coast and the media attention around Spencer Pratt's L.A. mayoral race, the episode shows how repeated messaging can influence visibility and public awareness.The episode also covers simple video, edited video, and professional video, and why the value of video often comes from the clarity and frequency of the message rather than production quality alone.Why content still matters for pest control SEOHow Google's EEAT principles apply to pest control companiesThe difference between random content and strategic contentHow pillar pages and topic clusters build topical authorityWhy content volume matters before expecting SEO resultsHow repeated messaging can influence attention and visibilityWhy pest control companies should focus on owning specific service nichesHow blogs, guides, videos, social media, and Google Business Profile posts work togetherThe difference between simple video, edited video, and professional videoHow to build a 90-day content cluster planIf you own or operate a pest control company and want help building a smarter content strategy, a stronger SEO foundation, better Google Ads campaigns, or a complete marketing automation system, reach out to Rhino Pest Control Marketing.Rhino Pest Control MarketingWebsite: https://rhinopestcontrolmarketing.comEmail: casey@rhinopros.comWebsite: https://rhinopestcontrolmarketing.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rhinopestcontrolmarketingPodcast: Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast

Last week I got rather excited with my bird feeding exercise in the garden – silvereyes everywhere, bellbirds becoming part of the ornithological gig, starlings in good flocks, hedge-sparrows in hedges. As the winter is getting near, the birds will come and visit your generous fodder in good numbers: sugar water, bits of meat and dripping, but also remnants of very ripe bananas, fruit bits, and anything that is edible. One of the biggest attractants is sugar water and the old bits of meat – dozens and dozens of birds will make their way to the smorgasbord. An important point we need to consider about feeding birds in your garden is that you'll need to keep going till spring. Your generosity is something the birds rely on and when you stop, there will be consequences for the artificially high populations created by extra feeding. I often catch large numbers of silvereyes when they dash in the direction of the food resources; they often have no idea that my very fine bird-catching net is not always visible. All I do is get the birds and give them a light-weight metal and numerical band around their leg, so I can always tell who is who in our garden. Hundreds of them each autumn/winter, individually coded. In some parts of the South Island, we also get Bellbirds and Tui. You might think you will have “lost” them from the garden when spring is moving in – they are getting very secretive around nesting time, but they will remember your place as a heaven full of food. Yes, they know where you live – I reckon they'll also know what kind of plants you have in the garden. And the most important aspect of it all is that in spring and summer they'll come and do the pest control business for you by scouting the scale insects and aphids, psyllids, whitefly, and mealybugs from your plants to feed their kids. LOTS OF FOOD! Over the past decades I have been doing some local research in my gardens (West Auckland, East Auckland, and some spots in Canterbury) where I observed the silvereyes, tūi, and bellbirds literally hoovering the small insects from our plants. Seeing as I hate spraying systemic insecticides, I like these birds with their knowledge of entomology and the location of the food – I have great respect for their job in our garden. Oh, and by the way: tūi and bellbirds will probably do a significant job of pollination in your garden as well. What's not to like? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From capturing missed leads to supporting free termite inspection campaigns, AI receptionists can help pest control companies protect their marketing investment and improve speed-to-lead.If your pest control company is spending money on Google Ads, Local Services Ads, SEO, direct mail, or other lead generation, this episode explains why your call-handling system needs to be just as strong as your marketing.To learn more about Rhino Pest Control Marketing, visit:Website: RhinoPestControlMarketing.comEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (925) 464-8383Search The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Facebook.

From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon  The Harrowers— A coalition of monster hunters, with guild halls spread across the continent. 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

In Season 5, Episode 17 of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, we discuss why every growing pest control company needs a properly managed CRM, sales pipeline, and marketing automation system. The episode focuses on how platforms like HighLevel can help pest control companies track leads, automate follow-up, measure marketing performance, and create better accountability across the team.We also talk about one of the biggest challenges with CRMs: getting employees to use the pipeline correctly every day. Bad data leads to bad reports, and bad reports lead to poor marketing decisions. The old saying applies perfectly here: garbage in equals garbage out.If your pest control company is investing in Google Ads, Local Services Ads, SEO, call tracking, AI receptionists, SMS/email follow-up, or outbound sales, then accurate CRM usage is essential. You cannot manage what you do not measure, and you cannot measure what your team does not properly track.This episode is a reminder that your CRM should not just be another software tool. It should become the central system for managing leads, measuring growth, improving follow-up, and making smarter decisions about your marketing dollars.Rhino Pest Control MarketingEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (925) 464-8383Website: https://rhinopros.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketingContact & Find Us

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.

Season 5, Episode 16: Traditional SEO Is Not Dead — But Pest Control Search Has Changed ForeverFor years, pest control companies have focused on the traditional SEO playbook: on-page optimization, service pages, city pages, schema code, backlinks, reviews, and Google Business Profile. Those strategies still matter, but the way consumers find local pest control companies is changing fast.In this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis discusses how AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Apple Siri, Google Voice Search, Apple Maps, and other search tools are reshaping the way homeowners and commercial buyers choose a pest control company.The big question is this: if form fill leads are declining but the overall demand for pest control continues to grow, where are those consumers going?The answer is that customers are searching differently. They are asking questions, using voice assistants, comparing companies through AI-generated answers, clicking to call from maps, checking reviews, and making decisions before they ever fill out a form on your website.This episode explains why pest control companies need to move beyond the old “rank and wait” SEO model and start building a complete digital presence designed for the new world of local search. That includes better service pages, stronger city pages, detailed pest content, FAQ sections built for AI Overview visibility, Apple Business Connect optimization, Google Business Profile updates, citation consistency, voice search readiness, and better lead tracking through calls, forms, texts, chats, and CRM pipelines.The companies that win in 2026 and beyond will not be the ones doing only basic SEO. They will be the companies creating the clearest, most trusted, most complete local information across Google, Apple, ChatGPT, maps, directories, reviews, and voice search.Traditional SEO is not dead. It is the foundation. But the future belongs to pest control companies that build for answers, AI, voice, local trust, and total visibility.Learn more at:https://rhinopros.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketingFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketingContact Casey Lewis:casey@rhinopros.com(925) 464-8383

Alan Draper shares how he entered pest control through his brother Brent's door-to-door success, their failed early attempt to launch Freedom Pest Control, and Alan's detour through banking and law school before quitting his legal job to cofound Proof in 2014–2015. He explains why they chose Detroit, how door-to-door jumpstarted early revenue, and how they bootstrapped with $100K while reinvesting profits and paying themselves modestly. Draper discusses lessons from repeated failures, self-doubt, and the importance of extreme ownership, resilience, and isolating what a leader can control. He outlines Proof's growth to roughly 120 trucks, the decision to add partners for sales recruiting, and how he replaced himself operationally to pursue other ventures. Draper also describes building Bug Bucks from a 2020 Facebook group into a media/community platform and conference focused on peer networking, plus his routines, goals, and focus on legacy.
