🔊 Episode Description:

In this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, host Casey Lewis dives into the reality behind rapid growth in the pest control industry—and why the first 300+ recurring customers are often the hardest to earn.

Many owners dream of explosive lead volume and fast expansion, but the truth is: there’s no shortcut. Casey breaks down what it really takes in year one to build a solid foundation for long-term success, including time, money, patience, and a clear target.

He also tackles the rising costs of Google Ads and Local Services Ads (LSA), explains why trusting Google AI to manage your ad campaigns can backfire, and shares the smarter path of manual bidding, keyword control, and structured ad groups. If you’ve ever struggled with your ROI in paid ads or felt stuck in the early growth phase, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your first 300 recurring customers are the hardest (but most important) to build

• The truth about Google Ads ROI in your first year

• Why “smart campaigns” aren’t that smart—and how to take control manually

• The difference between broad, phrase, and exact match keywords (and why negatives matter more)

• How campaign and ad group structure affects your daily budget performance

• Why retention is key once growth begins—and how poor door knocking strategies can backfire
