3 INTRODUCTION If you are reading this ebook, you are likely a pest control owner or manager interested in growing the sales of your business. Congratulations, you are in the right place. The landscape for marketing pest control has changed tremendously in the past twenty years, chiefly due to the rise of the Internet, and more recently mobile devices. This means that in order to remain competitive and be successful in your market, you need to understand how today s pest control consumers behave and how to meet them at their point of need. This ebook describes the shift in your audience, how to get in front of them, and how to know if your marketing is effective and returning value. You ll learn what metrics to pay attention to, how to choose a marketing partner, how to properly set goals, and what the elements of a successful plan include. Are you ready to transform your business? 3

4 SALES: THE LIFEBLOOD OF YOUR BUSINESS You re dedicated to providing exceptional customer service. You train your customer service representatives to be professional and polite whenever they interact with a customer. Your technicians are friendly and courteous. You reward loyal customers and keep them coming back season after season. But if you re only relying on the customers you already have to keep your business running, you will not be successful. Sales are the lifeblood of your business. You can have the best customer service in the world, but it s unreasonable to assume that you will keep 100% of your customers. If you ve been in business for more than 10 years, your leads have moved but where have they gone? The industry average for client cancellation rate is 5%. If you have 5,000 customers and you retain 95%, you need to replace 250 customers each year. If you want to grow at 20%, you ll need to make up those 250 customers, plus an additional 1,000. How are you going to find 1,250 customers to help you reach your goal? 4

5 YOUR LEADS HAVE MOVED In the mid-1990 s, The Yellow Pages Integrated Media Association found that, on average, people used their Yellow Pages eight times a month to look something up. By 2003, that number was down to five. Today, we can only assume that it s seldom to never. Radio, television and newspaper have also seen declines since the 90s. News radio listenership continues be on the downward trend, and DVR and streaming services like Netflix and Hulu have limited the reach and effectiveness of television commercials. What s more, newspaper ad revenue and readership is lower than it s been in 50 years. Even isn t what it once was. By 2004, we saw a huge surge of marketers buy lists and send unsolicited s to generate new business. If you own a pest control company, you know that the majority of your leads are probably coming from the Internet and customer referrals. With the Yellow Pages, you could pay for placement and to a certain extent, you still can; but it s far more complicated than that. With online marketing constantly in a state of change, it can be daunting to keep up. Luckily, there are several things you can do to help the power of the Internet work in your favor. This practice is no longer used by legitimate businesses primarily due to The National CAN-SPAM Act. Now there are organic rankings, local pack presence, and pay-per-click to worry about. Mix in how relevant your business is to any given search query and how compelling your ads or listings are, and the simplicity of generating leads is out the window. 5

6 DEFINING YOUR BUSINESS GOALS Managing the day-to-day operations of your pest control business is a full time job in itself, so defining your goals, figuring out how to reach them, and actually doing it can feel like a tall order. Even so, setting goals is a crucial first step to lead generation. Figuring out how many qualified leads you ll need to meet your goals makes it easier to figure out where to invest your budget and what will give you the best return on investment. The first step is defining your revenue goals. If you know your cancellation rate, you can determine how many new customers you need to get back to even with last year. From there, you can also include the number of customers you need to add to help reach your revenue goal. 6

7 Math time! Determine how many new customers you need: For the sake of example, let s say you own a $2.5 Million Pest Control business. Your customer retention rate is 95%, your revenue growth goal is 20% and your average annual revenue per customer is $500. You first need to replace the 250 customers you lost, plus an additional 1,000 customers that will fuel your revenue goal. Starting worth: $2.5 million Annual revenue per customer: $500 Rention rate: 95% Revenue growth goal: 20% New customers needed: 1,250 The first question you need to ask yourself is whether you can afford to buy these customers. You could acquire a smaller pest control company. Depending on your market, you could be paying $500 per customer so it s going to take several years of strong customer retention to see that pay off. You may also not have $600K lying around. New customers needed: 1,250 Cost per customer: $500 Investment cost: $625,000 7

8 If $600K is too rich for your blood, you need to consider buying leads in hopes that you can convert them into customers. Determine your target cost per new customer: It s important to know how much you can actually afford to pay for a new customer. If $500 is unrealistic but $200 will still allow you to hit your profitability goals, you can determine how much you should be willing to pay for a lead. In order to do this, you need to also determine your sales closing rate. Determine how many leads you need: Most PCO s we work with estimate their sales close rate is around 50%. This means for every qualified lead their sales or CSR staff speaks with, half become paying customers. So, if you need 1,250 customers to meet your revenue goals, you ll need approximately 2,500 leads. New customers needed: 1,250 Sales closing rate: 50% Leads needed: 2,500 Determine your cost per lead: If you follow our industry average of a 50% sales closing rate and you re willing to pay $200 per new customer, it s reasonable to set your cost per lead goal at $100. This means that for every new qualified lead that contacts your company about your services, you re willing to pay $100. Calculate your return on spend: If everything goes to plan and you acquire 1,250 new customers via 2,500 leads at $100, we can calculate your return on investment. Sales closing rate: 50% Paying per new customer: $200 Paying per lead: $100 2,500 leads x $100 = $250,000 1,250 new customers x $500 (annual revenue) = $625,500 $625,500/$250,000 = 2 ½ : 1 8

9 This means for every dollar you spend, you make $2.50. Depending on your customer retention rate, this can double or even triple your return over the years. If you retain 95% of these customers after one year, your return for this group of customers becomes 5:1 ($1,251,100/$250,000) Once you have a realistic idea of how many leads you ll need to collect and how much you are willing to spend per lead, you can start devising an inbound marketing strategy. 9

10 CREATING YOUR INBOUND MARKETING PLAN Consumers are always evolving, so as a business owner, you must do the same. Since the dawn of the digital age, we have observed a shift from more traditional marketing to a digital format that has led to consumers making more informed decisions. It s important now, more than ever, to be visible to potential customers at the right time in the right place with the right context. What does that mean for you as a pest control business owner? It means investing your marketing dollars in what is going to bring your business the most return on investment. In the pest control industry, that means investing your money in inbound marketing rather than outbound marketing. Whether you re a small, locally-owned pest company or a franchise, inbound marketing is a cost-effective solution to generating new leads, demonstrating your expertise, and increasing your annual revenue. You may be asking yourself: where do I even begin? We ll walk you through the ins and outs of a well-crafted marketing plan, and exactly how you can use the Internet to market your pest control business online. According to Hubspot, since 2006, inbound marketing has been the most effective method for marketing your business online. 10

11 First up: let s discuss the difference between inbound and outbound marketing. What is Outbound Marketing? Outbound marketing also referred to as interruption marketing is a means of advertising that interrupts someone s flow of activity in order to get your message across to them. Examples of outbound marketing include: Newspaper Radio Television Billboards Flyers and brochures Magazines Cold-calling Direct mail pieces Exhibitions and conferences What is Inbound Marketing? On the flip side, inbound marketing is a means of advertising that brings visitors in, rather than having to go out to get their attention. You earn their attention organically, without having to go out of your way to interrupt their path. Outbound marketing is often referred to as a marketer-centric way of advertising, while inbound marketing is customer-centric. Examples of inbound marketing include: Content marketing Website marketing Search engine optimization Social media Reputation management Paid search Website landing pages Online listings 11

12 How Inbound Marketing Can Help Grow Your Pest Business Rather than going out of your way to interrupt someone s path and get their attention, inbound marketing focuses on creating strategic, high-quality content that brings prospective customers to you. From there, your job is to close the sale and retain your customers over time. Here s why inbound marketing should be an essential part of your marketing business plan: It s more cost effective: Online advertising is significantly cheaper than traditional marketing. Leads obtained from inbound marketing efforts cost 62% less than leads generated from outbound marketing efforts Hubspot study Higher closing rates: Think about it it s significantly easier to sell to someone who s already interested and looking for the services you provide. You can control the budget: For the most part, you can choose exactly how much you want to spend and determine a budget that makes the most sense for your business. You can easily track your campaign s performance: With Google Analytics and several other tracking platforms available, you can easily track the performance of your campaigns and invest your marketing dollars in what will bring the most ROI for your business. 12

13 How Search Engines Work In order to really understand the importance of inbound marketing and the value it brings, it is imperative to understand how search engines work. Search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo work to deliver the most relevant information possible based on a user s search query. There are hundreds of millions of pages on the Internet, and the search engine s job is to find the one that is the most appropriate. Think of search engines as a means to your destination similarly to a GPS. If your destination is finding a pest control service online, and the Internet is your road map, you are going to rely on a search engine to help you find the most direct, fastest route. There are tons and tons of roads and alternate ways to get to your destination, but as a user, you want the best route the one with the least traffic and construction, the one with smooth sailing. 13

14 A Search Engine s Algorithm There s no one person that works tirelessly to go through all of the documents and web pages on the Internet to determine which one is the most relevant that would be insanity! Instead, search engines use algorithms to do the work for them. They use algorithms that include hundreds of factors, including a site s popularity, relevancy, content, domain name, design, load speed just to name a few. All of these factors help search engines deliver fast results. After all, users are getting more and more impatient these days, and they want answers and solutions fast. How Does Inbound Marketing Influence Search Engines? Inbound marketing is meant to influence your site s perceived relevance and popularity in order to affect its performance in search engines. There are several ways to do this through content marketing, social media, local optimization, paid search, and more all of which we ll discuss in more detail. What does that mean for you? Inbound marketing is meant to improve your website s rankings and increase your visibility. 14

15 The Power of Content Marketing Back in 1996, Bill Gates wrote an article titled, Content Is King. A whopping 20 years later, that statement stands truer than ever. Content is the backbone of digital marketing, and it s one of the most important aspects of marketing your pest control business online. After all, content is how you communicate with prospective customers. Content marketing is simply any marketing that involves the creation and sharing of media and publishing content in order to acquire and retain customers. Content marketing can come in many different formats, some of which you likely consume on a daily basis. When it comes to the pest control industry, content serves two very important purposes: to attract qualified traffic to your website, and to convert that traffic into leads for your business. Content marketing formats include: News Videos Articles Blog posts Website copy Infographics E-books Case studies Q&A articles Photos newsletters 15

16 Optimize Your Content for Search Engines The first step to attracting quality traffic to your website is to determine what keywords are going to bring the most value to your business. What are people searching for the most when they need your service? Once you have determined the type of keywords you want to rank for, you must incorporate them into the content on your website through on-page elements such as headlines, title tags, meta descriptions, and more. This will help your website rank for these key terms ultimately driving users to your site who are already looking for the services you provide. Keywords that people search the most in the pest industry include: Pest control Exterminator Mosquito treatment Bed bug treatment Termite treatment 16

17 Translate Features of Your Services Into Benefits Focusing on the benefits of your service is where conversion comes into play and what will ultimately drive leads to your business. Once a user comes to your website, it s now your job to convince them your solution is the best solution. You can do this by translating the features of your company into benefits for the customer. Feature: Same-day service User benefit: We ll be at your house within 24 hours and get rid of your pest problem as fast as possible. Feature: 100% satisfaction guarantee User benefit: If pests persist in between treatments, we ll come re-treat your house for free. Feature: Continuous training for technicians User benefit: You ll have the most knowledgeable pest experts on your side using the latest and most effective methods in the industry. Feature: Locally owned and operated User benefit: We are your fellow neighbors, so you ll feel good that you are supporting your local economy! 17

18 Personalize Your Content A big part of engaging users on your website is to answer their questions, address their concerns, and convince them your solution is the only way to go. You can do this by having benefits-focused content that is personalized to the user. Customer-Centric Content Is Key For example try these changes: About our company to Your trusted team Testimonials to What our customers say Why choose our company? to How we will help you Special Offers to Save cash today The big takeaway when it comes to content marketing is to get out of your own head for a second and try to get in your potential customer s head. Try your best to think of their perspective and their awareness more than your own. If you can do that, you re on your way to creating better, more strategic content that will help grow your pest business. Generate Links to Your Website Link building is a simple yet crucial element of online marketing that involves getting other websites to link to your website. When done properly, link building is a key factor in building and maintaining your pest control website s organic rankings in Google and other search engines. This is important for search engine optimization, because if other authoritative websites are linking to yours, it shows Google that your site is legitimate. Think of it as referrals of your credibility! 18

19 The Benefits of Link Building According to Search Ranking factors, link building is one of the most important factors to ranking well in search engines. It is most effective when done hand in hand with other online marketing strategies such as content marketing, social media, and paid search among many others. The benefits of other websites linking to your website include: Establishing authority in your industry. Building your company s reputation. Cultivating valuable relationships for the future. Driving new traffic to your website. Increasing your business brand awareness. Improving your website s rankings in search engines. There are many different strategies to implement when building links to your website, all of which are time-extensive and require a great deal of follow-up. Building quality, relevant links to your website doesn t happen overnight but incorporating this into your marketing strategy now is only going to help your website s performance long-term. 19

20 Build a Community with Social Media Social media is so much more than just posting occasionally on your Facebook wall or sending a tweet. Social media allows you to interact with existing customers, reach new customers, and build a community surrounding your brand. As a pest control company, social media is probably not high on your priority list, but there are some key benefits to exploring this marketing channel. Why Social Media is Important There are millions of people using social media every day. If you re not on social media, you re missing out on a huge opportunity to build your brand presence and, thus, attract new leads. Not only that, but social media is an inexpensive way to reach your potential customers! Social media is growing in popularity and importance every day you can t afford to not take part in this global phenomenon. 20

21 How You Can Benefit From Social Media Marketing Build Your Brand: Social media helps you build brand awareness and increases exposure for your company. You are able to reach new audiences that you may not have reached before, and it allows users to learn more about your company. It also legitimizes your brand to the consumer and shows you care about your audience when you have an active, engaging presence. Improve Your Customer Service: Because you are able to communicate directly and publicly with your audience, you can learn a lot about them what their interests are, what their needs and pain points are, what complaints they have, and so on. Customers can get in touch with you directly whether it s to ask questions or provide feedback, which allows you to control the conversation better. This makes social media a great tool for customer service. Generate Leads: The end goal of social media is ultimately to increase sales. By driving users to your website, you are pushing them towards converting into a lead. You can also use paid social advertising as a way to increase your brand s visibility and drive leads. Get to Know Your Audience: Much like websites, social media platforms have advanced their analytics capabilities, and you can now understand who your audience is and what they like. From audience targeting to social analytics, there is so much information that you can use to improve your performance on social media. Many consumers go directly to social media platforms to contact brands for both positive and negative feedback, and they expect a fast response. When you build relationships and engage with your customers, they are more likely to trust your content and your business overall, making them more likely to want to use your services. 21

22 Analyze Your Competitors: You can easily stay on top of what your competitors are doing on social media. This gives you new opportunities to improve your own social media strategy and come up with new ideas. Improve Your Rankings: Last but not least, utilizing social media can help improve your company s overall SEO efforts. Social media is one among many ranking factors that contributes to how well your website ranks in search engines! How to Begin Socializing! Social media can seem daunting, but it doesn t have to be. To get started, focus on mastering only a few channels at a time. For the pest control industry, Facebook, Yelp, and Google+ are the best channels to focus your efforts on. Create a thoughtful profile, invite your existing customers to connect with you on social media, and get your feet wet. We promise you won t drown! Improve Your Local Presence As a pest control company in the millennial age, your lifeblood is dependent on being found online. When people are looking for answers to their questions or solutions to their problems, the first place they check is online. When considering the landscape of search engine results pages whether it s Google, Bing, or Yahoo there are usually three main areas where your business can be found. In the case of Google, this landscape includes: The paid section: the top 3-4 listings that have the word Ad next to them. The local section: the middle listings below the map showing businesses based on proximity to the searcher. The organic results section: the listings below the maps that appear there naturally due to relevance. 22

23 While paid advertising at the top of a Google page is a great way to get exposure and generate leads, it can be expensive. If your marketing budget doesn t allow for paid advertising, ranking in the local and organic results section is going to be your best bet to drive qualified traffic to your site. Why You Need to Rank Locally Your company is appearing naturally, so users perceive it as more trustworthy. Your company information is super accessible, making it easy for prospective customers to learn more. Your listing will be higher up on the search engine results page, which will drive more traffic to your site! How to Get Started With Local Listings First thing s first, you will have to find or create your listings on local listing websites such as Google My Business, Yelp, Bing Places, Yahoo, YellowPages, SuperPages, and more. If you ve been in business for more than a year, it s likely these directories have already found your company s name, address and phone number, and have listed it in their map or system. If they have not, you ll have to create a new listing. 23

24 The most important thing to remember when managing local listings online is consistency. Having a consistent name, address, and phone number is going to help you appear in the local section, along with many other factors that include: Relevance: Relevance refers to how well a local listing matches what someone is searching for. Distance: Just like it sounds where is your business located in relation to where the user is searching? Google will rely on the location of your office, which can be unfair for service companies who travel to customers. This means you ll be more likely to rank in the map for the area where your company is located not where you ll travel to service. Prominence: While distance might not be a factor you can or want to adjust, prominence is certainly something you have control over. Prominence refers to how well-known a business is. Some companies are more prominent in the offline world and search results try to reflect this in local rankings. Number of Reviews: Your review count and score is also a major factor for local search ranking. The more reviews and positive ratings you have, the better. Adding complete and detailed business information can help search engines better understand your business and match your listing to relevant searches. If you respond to customers for positive reviews and address negative reviews, this will not only give the impression that you have a connection with your customers, but will also help your local rankings! Local optimization can a time-consuming task, but with the growing use of smartphones and search engines, it s more important than ever. The best part? Once your listings are accurate, they require little to zero upkeep. 24

25 The Importance of Online Reviews When s the last time you blindly purchased an item off of Amazon without looking at its rating or reviews? If your friend or neighbor shared their horrible food poisoning experience at a restaurant, would you still eat there? Let s face it: as consumers, the opinions of others greatly influence our purchasing decisions. According to a BrightLocal study, 80% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Ignoring online reviews as a potential marketing opportunity is like going out of your way to alienate 88% of your buying population. 40% of consumers said they form an opinion by reading just 1-3 reviews of a business. BrightLocal study You know what they say: you never get a second chance to make a first impression. By generating positive reviews & managing negative ones effectively, you can make the best first impression possible with potential customers. Online Reviews Help Your SEO, Too! What s more, Google s local search algorithm incorporates data from a number of third-party directories and review sites, such as Yelp and Google+. This means the more positive reviews that you have on these websites, the more likely you are to rank in Google s local pack and on the first page. According to Search Engine Land, the quality, velocity and diversity of reviews can influence rankings by more than 10%! 25

26 The Benefits of Online Reviews Every positive review is virtually free advertising for your company. Reading and responding to reviews builds closer relationship with customers. You have an opportunity to receive feedback and better your company. They can help improve your website s search engine performance. They can help improve click-through rate and drive more traffic to your site. They can help build confidence in your company for prospective customers! A successful online reputation management strategy is multi-faceted. In order to maximize your business online reputation, you will need to generate new positive reviews, while also responding to any negative ones. 26

27 How to Generate Reviews Both the number and quality of reviews are ranking factors in local search. Not only that, but the more positive reviews you have, the more trustworthy your business will seem. Here are a few ways to generate positive reviews: Ask your customers! Simply ask your customers to leave a review when your technicians service their homes or directly after. Run an in-house contest with your techs to see who can get their customers to leave the most reviews. Reward the winner with a small bonus or gift card! Run a contest with customers to win a free service or credit to their account. Customers who leave a review can be submitted to the contest! Make it easy for your customers to review your business! Make it easy for them to review you by displaying review badges and links on your site. At the end of the day, monitoring your online reputation is an absolute necessity in any business but especially in a needs-based industry like pest control. Negative Reviews Responding to negative reviews is just as important as generating positive reviews! Although it s easier said than done, try not to take a negative review as a personal attack on your business. Instead, go into it with the idea of bettering your company and improving your processes. Of course, there will always be situations where you did everything right and customers will still complain. It s important, especially in these situations, to remain professional and rational. No matter the situation always try to make things right with the customer. After all, if you do, they may remove their negative review! 27

28 Take Advantage of Paid Search Paid search is one of the most cost-effective ways to drive immediate sales to your pest control business. Think of ranking locally and organically as a longterm investment it s something that won t happen overnight but will bring long-term return for your business. On the flip side, utilizing paid search will bring fast leads your way right now, but you ll have to pay steadily for them. There are several different paid search options when it comes to search engines with the two most popular ones being Pay-Per-Click (PPC) and display advertising. Display advertising involves showing ads for your business on relevant websites; for example, displaying a pest control ad on a home improvement blog. On the flip side, PPC advertising involves showing ads for your business on a search engine s results page based on a specific query; for example, someone searches pest control near me, and your relevant ad is displayed to them. The most popular paid search options: Pay-per-click (PPC) Display advertising For the pest control industry, PPC advertising is the best way to generate quality leads. Afterall, the user already knows they need your service, so inherently there s a lot less convincing involved. 28

29 How does Pay-Per-Click work? Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising can be considered a science and an art. If executed properly, you can drive the most relevant traffic to the most relevant page on your website. Unlike other forms of advertising, you have the means to measure performance all the way down to how many people clicked on your ad and how many of those clicks became a lead. This allows business owners to create, customize, budget, and measure their online advertising down to a tee. So, how exactly does PPC work? As its name suggests, you do not pay a flat cost for a lead or sale; instead, you pay per each click on your ads, based on keywords. You choose exactly which keywords you would like your ads to displayed for, and from there, you choose how much you re willing to spend for a click from that keyword. Based on your website s conversion rate the percentage of people that come to your website and then contact you - and your goal cost per lead, you can determine how much you re willing to pay for a click. Let s say for every 10 people that come to your website, one of them becomes a lead for your business this means your website s conversion rate is 10%. If your goal cost per lead is $100, that means you don t want to spend more than $10 for a single click. 29

30 How Hard is it to Manage? There are several different factors that go into a wellexecuted PPC campaign including the quality and relevancy of the content on your website and ads. Running a PPC campaign requires a solid understanding of the advertising platform, knowledge of best practices and guidelines, and a dose of creativity among many other factors. In order to get the most ROI for your PPC campaigns, hiring a marketing professional to manage your campaigns is your best bet. Why You Should Utilize PPC Advertising You can control and set your budget and update it in real-time if necessary. You can reach a prospective customer at the right time with the right ad. You can use data to assess performance and make executive decisions. You can use PPC data to help inform your organic strategy as well. You can increase your sales closing rate by selling to a customer that already needs your services. Regardless of whether a click becomes a lead, you ultimately help increase brand awareness for your company. 30

31 HOW TO EXECUTE YOUR MARKETING PLAN As a PCO, you have an important decision to make. Hire a marketing person in-house or partner with an agency? There are pros and cons to each. In-house Marketer Pros: A full-time, in-office marketer can learn everything there is to know about pest control and the unique ins and outs of the services you provide. Your marketing can be closely aligned with your culture. There s a high level of control in managing this employee. Employee is 100% dedicated to your business. Cons: You will either need to hire a seasoned professional, be prepared to train this person or consider it a work-in-progress. It can be challenging to recruit for the position depending on your location and budget. All of your marketing rests in the hands of one person as opposed to a group of experts. It is typically more expensive than partnering with an agency (salary, benefits, operating expenses). 31

32 Agency Pros: Depending on the agency, you ll be working with a marketing expert from day 1. Knowledge sharing across team that can benefit your business and marketing program. Typically a more cost-effective solution considering the agency covers most of the expenses. Marketing agencies can specialize in particular industries/verticals giving them skills and marketing insight specific to your industry. Cons: You are likely not your account manager s only account. You should consider the hourly cost and whether or not your campaign requires a fulltime team member. Depending on which approach you take, consider the pros and cons to each before making a decision. If you aren t ready to hire in house, working with an agency is a great way to get your feet wet before going all in! 32
