Do you feel like your pest control company's traditional advertisements are falling on deaf ears? Do you cringe every time you add budget to run yet another promotional ad? Are you looking for proven marketing strategies that connect by providing real value instead? If so, you’re not alone.
Yet, in the back of your mind lingers, a frustrating stat: 86% of ads served are completely ignored by consumers.
Surveys reveal that today’s consumers ignore nearly 9 out of 10 display ads served to them daily. Display ads are often made up of images or videos that encourage the user to click through to a landing page and take some sort of action. You see them mostly on a website page's top, bottom, and sides. You also see them scattered throughout the content.
However, most consumers will do everything they can to avoid ads that poured your time and hard-earned money into crafting. Today’s consumers ignore your ads by using ad blockers, paying for ad-free digital media experiences, skipping ads, or ignoring them altogether.
So the million-dollar question is this: How do you get your brand to actually connect with potential customers?"
The answer is simple: use content marketing for your pest control business.
Content marketing presents a unique opportunity to engage potential customers when it matters most when they are actively looking for information along their buyer's journey.
In this post, we'll explore how content marketing works to connect with consumers during their buyer's journey by providing helpful information instead of sales pitches. Through informed educational content marketing, you'll learn key strategies to establish credibility, increase loyalty, and guide pest control purchasing decisions.

Having an optimized website is critical for pest control companies looking to attract more customers online. With the majority of people using search engines like Google to find local services, appearing at the top of the search results translates to more calls and sales.

Unsurprisingly, a 2014 PCT Online survey found that nearly 8 out of 10 customers looking for pest control services use search engines like Google over other channels to find providers.
