Lakeland Market FAQ

I tried Google Ads before and it didn't work. What's different here?
Most pest control operators who've tried Google Ads ran campaigns with no call tracking, no conversion data, and no way to know which keywords were actually booking jobs. What we build tracks every call back to its ad and keyword. The Weekly Scorecard tells you whether the cost per booked appointment is worth it. When you can see that clearly, you can optimize it.
What's the realistic call volume in Lakeland?
At $1,000–$1,500/mo ad spend in most Florida pest control markets, operators typically see 15–30 inbound calls per month at launch, with 40–60% converting to booked appointments depending on response speed and follow-up. We'll model this specifically for Lakeland on the discovery call.
Does ad spend come out of the retainer?
No. The retainer covers campaign management, call tracking, landing page, and reporting. Ad spend runs directly through your Google Ads account, billed by Google. We manage the campaigns — we don't touch your ad budget.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Month-to-month with a 30-day out clause. Give 30 days' notice at any point and the engagement ends. The account, campaigns, and all data stay with you.
