Hey, Chad Treadway here with Cube Creative Design. If you're watching this video, then you either got a video from me and you're curious more about what it's about, or you may have stumbled across this site and you're wondering what these videos are about. So if you want one of these videos, feel free to reach out. Just send me a email through the contact form and I'll be happy to record one for you. That being said, let me kind of elaborate really on what I do in these videos.

First of all, I take and set my browser to whatever location you are. If you are in Timbuktu, then I set it to Timbuktu. If you are in Anytown usa, then I set it to Anytown usa.

From there I typically go through and do the same type things. I'm going to search for your business on Google as if I was a customer of yours. So let's say I'm looking for noises in my attic. I'm going to search for some kind of wildlife remediation or animal removal or something along those lines to see if your business shows up.

I'm also going to search based on your business name. Say I saw your truck in my neighborhood and I'm like, you know what? I've got this weird sound at night in my attic. Maybe I've got something. Let me call them. I search for you that way. That lets me look typically look and see how you're showing up on the first pages of Google if you're in the AI, overviews, et cetera.

Then I can also take a look at your Google business profile, take a look at your Google reviews, see if you're responding to your reviews, both positive and negative. Because we know that that's a big deal.

And then from there I take a look at your website. look at it from both the consumer standpoint, like can I find what I'm looking for? Can, can you solve my problem and how much is this going to cost me? Possibly. The other side is I come from a designer developer's eye and I look at it for like accessibility type issues. Is your site accessible? Can someone with low vision or someone who may be temporarily disabled, can they navigate it with just a keyboard? Is there enough color contrast between your background and foreground elements? That's one of the biggest things that people will struggle with, especially somebody who may be color blind.

From there I always like to, to run your site through our Cube Score, which looks at six different aspects of how you're showing up digitally, give you a report on that. And I also take a look at SEMrush, or Semrush, just to kind of see how you're ranking there. Potentially as well,

really is a digital audit from the first initial. Let me Google somebody who can solve XYZ problems see how you're showing up, see what competitors are showing up against you, that kind of thing. If there's something positive there, I'll share it with you. If there's something negative, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'm going to share that with you as well, because I'd rather be transparent and you know what issues you're potentially having so you can go fix. Doesn't matter to me if you want to hire me for my services or you want to go do it yourself. I would rather, you know what you need to fix and then go find the tools or the agency to go fix it for you. That being said, if you're still watching and you want to reach out, feel free. I'm, here for you.

Who Recorded It

Chad Treadway

My name is Chad Treadway. I've spent more than 25 years in digital marketing, web design and advertising, and I've been with Cube Creative Design since 2012. I help pest control companies, and the wildlife divisions inside them, get more out of their websites and their marketing. Cube and I are members of the North Carolina Pest Management Association, and Cube also belongs to the National Pest Management Association and the National Wildlife Control Operators Association.

I go through the wildlife sites myself, one at a time, usually 15 to 30 minutes each, and some run longer. Nobody handed me a list of findings to read off a script.

You can check that I'm a real person without taking my word for it. I'm a published author. I wrote 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 doesn't have. Cube puts out a podcast, Pest Control Marketing That Actually Works, where we talk through digital marketing topics for pest control companies. My second book comes out in January 2027. I speak on practical AI and digital marketing for small businesses, including to NCPMA members, in front of rooms of owners who ask hard questions and don't clap to be polite. I hold a Master of Arts in Industrial Technology and a B.S. in Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology from Appalachian State University, and I'm a HubSpot Academy certified professional.

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

Why Believe the Review

Cover of The State of Pest Control Websites: Results From 300 Sites Reviewed

Because I published the last one.

In 2026 I put over 300 pest control company websites through a full review and wrote up what I found, and then put the whole thing on the internet where anyone could argue with it. It's The State of Pest Control Websites in 2026, and it's still there. The numbers in it aren't flattering to the industry and a few of them aren't flattering to agencies either.

The wildlife review works the same way. I am going through wildlife control company websites one at a time, looking at the same things, and writing down what I find. If you got a video from me, that's the only reason: yours was in the set. I wasn't watching you, and I didn't pick you out.

The report from that review will be published the same way the pest one was, on Cube Creative Design's site, free, whether or not you and I ever speak again.

Why Wildlife Control

My background is pest control marketing. Same kind of owner, same kind of swing in the phone, 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's 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 ringing phone 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 thing keeps showing up: page after page about getting the animal out, and almost nothing about sealing the building so it stays out. That's not a knock on the owners. It's what happens when the person who owns the company is also the person on the ladder at 7:30 in the morning.

Who Actually Does the Work

Here's the part most agency pages leave you to find out in month two.

I did the research myself. My team does the work.

If you hire us, you're not hiring me to build your site. Cube Creative Design has been at this since 2005, and the people who would touch your account are the ones whose names and faces are on our team page: a programming specialist who builds it, a content operations manager who runs the writing, a social manager, an email and ads specialist. I stay in it, because the review was mine and the point of view on the pages is mine, and you can reach me directly.

Saying that out loud costs us a little. Some owners want the guy from the video and nobody else. Not saying it costs more, because you find out anyway, and finding out later feels like a bait and switch even when nobody meant it that way.

There's no separate wildlife company here. This is Cube Creative Design, working with wildlife control operators anywhere in the country. You would have figured that out in about four seconds, so we're not going to make you look.

Cube Creative Design belongs to the associations you already know.

Three Things We Will Argue With You About

Exclusion and Repair Get the Page Count

Removal gets less of it than you expect. Removal is what people type when they hear noise. Repair is where the margin is. 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.

How the First Month Works

First, a Competitor Review

Who is above you for the searches that actually turn into work, and what they have that you don't.

You own the website and everything on it. If you leave, it leaves with you. Twelve months to start, then you renew for another year or a multi-year term, and multi-year terms come with a discount. No setup fee.

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.

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

If you want to know what we would change on your site before you spend anything, contact us. We reply within one business day.
