You Just Watched Ninety Seconds of a Stranger

Who Recorded It

My name is Chad Treadway. I am a partner at Cube Creative Design in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, and I go through the wildlife sites myself, one at a time, about twenty minutes each. Nobody handed me a list of findings to read off a script.

You can check that I am a real person without taking my word for it. I wrote a book called Digital Marketing for Rural Small Businesses, because most of what gets published about marketing assumes a city and a budget that a company outside one does not have. I co-host a podcast called Talk Marketing To Me with Hannah, who runs social for us. I have presented to the North Carolina Pest Management Association, in front of a room of owners who ask hard questions and do not clap to be polite.

None of that makes me right about your website. It just means there is a person attached to the opinion, and you can go read what he has said before and decide whether it holds up.

Why Wildlife Control

My background is pest control marketing. Same kind of owner, same seasonal swing, same buyer searching on a phone in a hallway at 11 p.m. Wildlife is close enough to that work that I already know roughly what your invoice mix looks like, and far enough from it that almost nobody treats it as its own trade.

Then there is the shape of the demand. Something is scratching over a bedroom ceiling, and the search happens before breakfast. The distance between a page and a booked job is short, and a short loop is how you find out whether a decision was right instead of arguing about it for a year.

The third reason is less flattering to the trade. Open wildlife operator sites at random and the same one keeps showing up. Built by a relative, never touched since. A contact form nobody has tested. A homepage naming a service area the company outgrew two trucks ago. That is not a knock on the owners. It is what happens when the person who owns the company is also the person on the ladder at 7:30 in the morning.

Three Things We Will Argue With You About

Exclusion and repair get the page count, and removal gets less of it than you expect. Removal is what people type when they hear noise. Repair is what pays for the winter. Most sites are built around the first one only, so callers never learn the second one is for sale. Owners push back on this. We do it anyway.

Impressions do not go in the report. An impression means somebody scrolled past you, and on a site this size a lot of them are not even people. Clicks, calls, forms, and booked jobs go in, split by the service that produced them. A report you need somebody to interpret for you is a report built to survive a renewal conversation.

Prices belong on the website. Almost nobody here publishes one, because a published number loses some deals. It also saves you a call you did not want to be on. See what this costs on the pricing page without talking to us first.

What We Are Not

Not the cheapest. A freelancer will build you a site for less, and if a site is all you want, take it.

Not a guarantee. We will not promise a ranking, a lead count, or a revenue number. Anyone who does is guessing, and you have probably paid for one guess already.

Not the right call if you need the phone ringing next week. Buy ads for that. This work compounds over months.

We market for pest control as well, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. That is the reason I can tell you a wildlife division is not a pest route. I have watched both sets of numbers for years, and they do not behave the same way. It also means we will tell you when your money would do more somewhere else.
