When it comes to growing a pest control business, word-of-mouth marketing can be one of your most valuable tools. There’s simply no better advertising than a glowing recommendation from a satisfied customer. Not only is it free marketing, but referrals also come with built-in trust since they come directly from someone your potential customer already knows and trusts.
However, referrals don’t just happen on their own. You have to proactively cultivate them through strong relationships and top-notch service. The good news is that it’s not as difficult as you think. By focusing on customer care, follow-up, and keeping your happy customers in mind, you can maximize the number of referrals your company receives.
In this post, we’ll explore some tried and true tactics for getting more customers to spread the word about your company.

Many pest control company owners assume that as long as their website looks nice, that's all that matters. However, there's a lot more that goes into an effective website beyond just appearance. With the rise of do-it-yourself site builders like Wix and Squarespace, it seems anyone can throw together an attractive-looking website these days. But faster and easier doesn't always mean better when it comes to web design.
While visual appeal is important, several other critical factors like site speed, user experience, technical SEO optimization, customization, and long-term sustainability set truly exceptional websites apart. Relying on templates and easy drag-and-drop builders often leads to bloated code, compatibility issues, frequent crashes, generic designs, and security vulnerabilities.
If you want your pest control website to drive more calls, leads, and customers, you need to consider more than just how it looks. By partnering with a custom web design firm instead of piecing together a DIY site, you can build an effective website specifically for your business goals.
