Growing pest control businesses since 2011.
Looking for a reputable digital marketing agency to help scale your pest control business? If so, you’ve come to the right place. City Ranked has been involved in pest control advertising since 2011, and our roots in the pest management advertising industry started with our founder Duane Baumgartner’s experience working with several pest control companies all the way back to 2004.
Effortlessly sync with your Pest Control CRM.
Why experience in pest control marketing matters.
When it comes to pest control marketing and advertising, the journey only starts with the initial sale. Representing your brand online in an ultra-competitive vertical like pest control takes more than a nice-looking website and a Google Ads budget. Factors such as your brand’s reputation and reviews, speed of service, offers, warranties, certifications, and through communication with your customers are paramount to building a high-performing recurring book of loyal pest control customers. These and many other factors play into a successful pest control marketing strategy.
When selecting a digital agency to represent your brand, understanding what an agency will be doing for you and your business is paramount to the success of your pest control campaigns and the growth of your business. Some key factors a pest control business owner should consider are:
Proven pest control experience
What is the track record of the agency you select?. Do they have experience in home services and pest control? Here at City Ranked, our staff has over 20 years of experience in pest control marketing, and since 2011, our company has helped scale hundreds of pest control companies to 7, 8, and 9-figure companies.
Digital marketing innovation
Competitive edge is everything when it comes to business verticals like pest control. Since 2011, City Ranked has become known for its commitment to innovation and tech stack creation, giving our clients a competitive edge in search rankings, online shopper engagement, and lead generation. Our digital marketing demos showcase our unique advantages that you’d be hard pressed to find with any other agency in the pest control space. Find out why hundreds of pest control business owners have chosen us.
Systems integrations
What good is it to spend thousands of dollars on advertising to develop leads for your business if you can’t get the leads into your business management software? City Ranked has the answer. No more relying on customer service representatives to enter leads, opportunities, or sales into your CRM, our systems do it automatically, allowing your teams to focus on pest control prospects that have shown interest and are ready to buy.
Our Skout Marketing Automation platform, powered with Artificial Intelligence, will automatically engage with web visitors most likely to purchase your services, and auto-populate their information into your CRM once they indicate they’re interested. The Skout Marketing Automation platform integrates directly with the following pest management platforms: PestPac, Sales Center, Pest Routes, Gorilla Desk, Briostack, Service Titan, and many other popular customer relationship management systems.
Open source website platform
This may seem like a no-brainer, but many business owners don’t think to ask this until it’s too late. Asking the simple question of who will own the assets (websites, graphics, ad platforms, and tech stack) created for your business can avoid painful expenses and transitions later.
Here at City Ranked, you, the client, own everything unless it’s part of our proprietary in-house software, and even then, we offer an option to keep our software on your website as part of a subscription. As part of our monthly retained services, City Ranked will also secure needed software licenses and tech platforms. These licenses can be purchased by you, the client, should you ever decide to move your marketing somewhere else.
Who completes the work?
Another simple but important question to ask is who actually completes the work on your account? Many “agencies” outsource their work overseas, which may not seem like a big deal, as this can be a cost savings for the agency and business owner alike. The issue with outsourced work is that the quality of work completed can’t be monitored. A prime example of this would be content creation. Is the content being produced original, copied, or AI-produced? The search engines can tell the difference, and something this simple can mean the difference between ranking and not ranking for desired keywords.
When you get into correctly coding a website for search engine rankings, it gets far more complex, and the differences between a properly coded website vs. a fast production site can be night and day. You wouldn’t buy something as important as your main vehicle from a site like Temu, so why would you trust the driver of your marketing to do the same?
Analytics and full funnel attribution
Reporting and understanding what is performing versus what is not is at the heart of every successful pest control digital marketing campaign. Understanding how your efforts are measured and how your return on investment is calculated is core to helping a business know what advertising channels are performing and which channels need to be cut.
City Ranked reporting comes directly from the publisher, so you can verify the metrics yourself. We leverage the size of our advertiser base to provide the same toolsets and reporting platforms that many Fortune 100 companies use. In addition, when connected to your pest management software, City Ranked’s Skout Platform can report true advertising returns based on tracking prospects through their buying journey and capturing revenue amounts after the sale has been completed. We don’t just guess what’s working; we prove it every month.
