A second-generation pest control company serving Chicago’s North Shore was losing market share to national franchises with larger advertising budgets. Their business was heavily seasonal, and they struggled to convert one-time emergency calls into recurring service contracts that provide stable year-round revenue.

Local SEO Strategy
We optimized their local SEO presence across 15 North Shore communities with location-specific landing pages and Google Business Profile optimization.

Our email campaigns promoted seasonal pest prevention services to existing customers, converting one-time clients into recurring contract customers.
Results:
- 289% increase in service calls year-over-year
- 178% growth in recurring service contracts
- Cost per qualified lead reduced to $34
