Project Overview: "Pest Control" Across 9 Major Markets
The Challenge: Dominating Google Maps in Multiple Extreme-Competition Markets While Merging Acquired Company Websites
Our client, a major player in the pest control industry, was facing a multifaceted challenge in their quest to elevate lead generation and spur business growth in fiercely competitive markets. Seeking to amplify their online presence and draw in more customers across all locations, they turned to Growth Foundry for a comprehensive digital overhaul.
Their primary objective was to dominate the Google "Map Pack" across several highly competitive locations. This strategic focus aimed to capture high-intent customers, who generally perceive businesses listed in the Map Pack as industry leaders. The client's goal extended beyond mere visibility — they sought to be the unequivocal choice for pest control services in these competitive areas.
In addition to this, the client was navigating the complex process of integrating multiple websites from recently acquired pest control companies. This consolidation was crucial to maintain a unified brand presence and enhance SEO efficiency across all service areas. The challenge was not only to maintain the existing SEO value of these acquired entities, but also to seamlessly merge them into the client's primary web presence without losing rank or visibility.
The client also intended to shift away from high-cost Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising campaigns, aiming instead to generate more valuable inquiries organically — transitioning from traditional and less efficient lead generation methods to a more streamlined, effective approach.
