Senior Managed Google Ads for pest control companies

When someone types "exterminator near me", a senior decides what your ad says. Not a junior, not a tool.

Search and Local Services for one pest control company per metro. The system is the senior's method, written down, and does the hands. One senior signs every change, you get good Google Ads and a plain monthly report. From €299 a month, flat, no setup fee.

Example ads, written for this page. Not clients, not live ads.

Pest control is a search business. The account should be run like one.

Nobody browses for an exterminator. They search when something is in the wall, and the phone rings for whoever is at the top with the right words. That makes Google the channel, and it makes the boring weekly work the whole game: which searches you buy, which you refuse, what the ad promises, and whether the call actually gets counted.

  • One pest control client per metrothe auction is local. Two clients in the same metro would mean bidding against yourself with your own money. So it is one, and you can ask who else we run.
  • Search and Local Services, run togetherthe Local Services listing takes the "near me" calls, Search takes the specific ones: termite inspection, rodent exclusion, bed bugs. Both run from one plan, signed by the same senior.
  • A named senior signs every changethe system, Christian's way of running Google Ads written down as rules, reads your search terms and drafts the negatives, the ad copy, and the budget steps. He signs, or it waits.

What we see from outside

The written read is built from what is public. It is not a pitch deck and it does not need your login. Here is what it contains, and, further down, what it cannot contain.

Your active adsfrom Google's Ads Transparency Center

Every ad you run right now, how long it has run, and what it promises compared with the two advertisers next to you.

The metro advertiser listwho bids against you

Who advertises in your metro, at what breadth, for how long. Breadth and tenure are the only spend proxies visible from outside, and the read says so.

Landing-page readwhat the click lands on

Whether the page keeps the promise the ad made, and where the call gets lost between the click and the ring.

One drafted adfor your account, unsigned

One responsive search ad written against what your metro searches for. Take it and run it yourself if you like. The read is free either way.

What we cannot see from outside

  • Your spend, and how it splits across campaigns
  • Your cost per click and your cost per call
  • Your conversion rate, and whether calls are counted at all
  • Your search terms: the queries that actually triggered your ads

Anyone who tells you what is wrong inside your account without access is guessing. The outside read says what it can see, names what it cannot, and stops there. The inside audit is the first 14 days of any term, and if it says do not run ads, every fee paid comes back in full and you keep the audit.

Why a pest control account is exactly the account this was built for.

The fee is flat, the work is weekly, and the trade searches. Three things line up.

The intent is in the query. "Exterminator near me" and "termite inspection cost" are people with a problem today, not a wish list.
The auction is local. One client per metro is not a slogan here, it is the only honest way to run two accounts in one trade.
The spend band fits. A multi-truck operator in a US metro sits inside the €1k to €50k a month the ladder covers, so the fee never needs a percentage.

Who this is for: operators with more than one truck or more than one metro, already advertising on Google, who want to read what changed instead of being told everything is fine.

Pricing

Three prices. The same three as for everyone.

Flat monthly fees in euros for every buyer, US included; your card network converts. No setup fee on any rung. The first 14 days of every term are the audit and the start of the rebuild.

Terms that hold across the ladder. Three months minimum on every rung, because month one is the rebuild and a fair read needs two settled months after it. Then month to month with 30 days notice. Annual upfront is ten times the monthly: two months free. Prices exclusive of VAT. Above your rung's spend band you move up a rung; there is no overage billing and no percentage of spend. Upgrades any time, downgrades at the end of the term. If the audit in the first 14 days says do not run ads, the term is canceled and every fee paid for it is refunded in full.

For whom

Which pest control companies this fits

A fit if you

  • run more than one truck, or more than one metro
  • already advertise on Google and spend €1k to €50k a month, or are about to
  • can count calls, or are willing to set up call tracking in the first two weeks
  • want to be the one pest control client we run in your metro
  • are fine with writing. The System rung has no calls.

Not a fit if you

  • are a one-truck operator spending under €1k a month. Keep doing it yourself, and take the drafted ad.
  • buy leads from an aggregator and want that optimized. That is their account, not yours.
  • want a percentage-of-spend deal
  • have no call tracking and no intention of adding it

The process

From the form to the first signed change.

  1. Step 1

    The form, two minutes

    You tell me the metro, the trucks, the spend, and who runs the account today. If you would rather talk first, say so in the message and I reply with two times. No calendar, no closer.

    The result:clarity whether this fits, either way.

  2. Step 2

    Written diagnosis within one business day

    The outside read above: your active ads, the metro advertiser list, the landing-page read, one drafted ad, and the list of what I cannot see.

    The result:a page you can act on without buying anything.

  3. Step 3

    Onboarding link

    You pick the rung, pay by card, and grant manager-account access. No setup fee, no contract to print, no call with a closer.

    The result:access granted, term started, metro reserved.

  4. Step 4

    First changes within 14 days

    Audit and call-tracking verdict first. Then the rebuild, negatives in before the first dollar, and the first signed changes live in your account.

    The result:an account that is being run, and a first report on the way.
