The New Marketing Scorecard: What to Track When AI is Picking Who Gets the Call

<p>Your organic traffic is down. Your rankings haven't moved much. The phone is quieter. What changed? AI search has rewritten the rules for how pest control buyers find you, and most of the metrics you've tracked since 2020 don't measure the things that actually matter now. In this episode, Adam Bennett and Elisabeth Pallante from Cube Creative Design break down the six categories of trust signals that decide whether ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity recommend your business: Identity, Authority, Proof, Transparency, Structure, and Visibility. They explain why 90%+ of companies have hidden NAP inconsistencies, why 92-93% of pest control sites still hide pricing (and what it's costing them), and why your structure can be quietly broken without you knowing. Then they introduce The Cube Score, a free tool that grades your site across all six sides on a 600-point scale in about 60 seconds. You'll learn how to read your score, which side to fix first, and how to set a 90-day target that puts you ahead of 80% of your local competition.

Service Area Expansion: Marketing in New Cities

<p>Your home market is humming. You're at six or eight trucks. The next city over looks like the obvious move. So why do most pest control companies lose money for six months when they expand?</p><p></p><p>In this episode, Adam Bennett and Elisabeth Pallante break down why service area expansion is a brand-new business problem rather than a marketing problem, how to pick the right expansion market using density and drive time instead of raw population, and what a real city page looks like compared to the thin service-area pages that hurt more than they help.</p><p></p><p>You'll learn why the cost per acquired customer in a new market is typically 2 to 3 times what it costs at home for the first six months, why review velocity is the leading indicator of whether you're going to win, and the 90-day launch playbook that gets you from zero presence to a credible local foothold. Plus the one filter that talks most owners out of the wrong expansion before they spend a dollar.</p><p></p><p>Get your free pest control marketing audit at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://marketingthatactuallyworks.ai" target="_blank">marketingthatactuallyworks.ai</a>.

The Transparency Problem: Why 93% of Pest Control Sites Are Hiding the One Thing Buyers Want

<p>92 to 93 percent of pest control websites don't show pricing anywhere on the site. Not a starting range. Not a service-by-service breakdown. Not even a "most customers pay between this and this." Just nothing.</p><p>Meanwhile, the number one question pest control buyers have when they hit your site is "what is this going to cost me." The gap costs you leads you never even knew were looking.</p><p>In Episode 26, Adam Bennett, Elisabeth Pallante, and Chad Treadway break down why hiding pricing actually protects your competition rather than your margin. You'll hear the three objections pest control owners raise about transparent pricing and why each one is wrong:</p><ul><li>"My competitors will see my prices and undercut me." (They already know what you charge.)</li><li>"My pricing is too variable." (80 percent of your residential jobs fall within a tight band.)</li><li>"I want them to call me so I can sell them." (The sale happens before the phone call.)</li></ul><p>Then they walk through the four formats pest control companies can use to show pricing without committing to a rigid price list: the starting range, the most-customers-pay range, the treatment-by-treatment breakdown, and the estimator. You'll get the exact language that works and the language that doesn't.</p><p>You'll also hear about a Southeast pest control company that added starting pricing to its service pages last fall. No other changes. Their form conversion rate went from 3.1 percent to 7.4 percent over four months, and their cost per lead from Google Ads dropped 41 percent. Same traffic, same ad spend, completely different outcomes.</p><p>The episode closes with transparency beyond pricing. Policies, the humans behind the company, and your point of view. Plus Chad's one-sentence change you can make on your highest-traffic page this week that will measurably move your form fill rate within 30 days.</p><p>Get your free pest control marketing audit at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://marketingthatactuallyworks.ai" target="_blank">marketingthatactuallyworks.ai</a></p><p>Score your website's AI search trust signals free at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thecubescore.com" target="_blank">thecubescore.com</a></p>
