PEST CONTROL · PACIFIC NORTHWEST

A repeatable system across two markets, then a clean sale

A pest control operator preparing to grow and eventually sell. We built a repeatable visibility system that traveled from market to market. They grew steadily, added a market, and sold with the playbook as part of the deal.

The situation

Where they were when they hired us.

  • Rankings were uneven across the two existing markets with no repeatable system
  • Expansion stalled because each new market started from zero visibility
  • No documented process a buyer could trust would keep working
  • Species-specific search intent was unaddressed on generic service pages

What we built

The specific playbook we ran.

Each piece maps to a part of the local SEO system. Follow a link to see how it works.

  • Repeatable market-launch playbook applied to each new city
  • Citation cleanup and entity schema across all markets
  • Species-specific service pages for real customer intent
  • Monthly competitor geo grid sweeps per market
  • A documented monthly playbook the buyer could inherit

The geo grid

Red to green, zone by zone.

Two Local Search Grids for the same business: where the map sat at the start, and where it landed after 14 months. Illustrative data, not a specific client export.

  • Steady booking growth across both markets on a repeatable system
  • Top-three coverage in each core service zone
  • Species-specific pages that match how customers actually search
  • A documented, transferable system that became part of the sale
The system was part of what we sold. A buyer wants something that keeps working without the founder in the seat, and that is exactly what they got.
Founder, Pest Control
