Paid clicks reflect the competition. Google's suggested bid for 'pest control cape coral' is $32.62 per click, against $20.22 for 'pest control fort myers'.

We send ad traffic to pest-specific landing pages, and where Google lets you in, Local Services Ads charge per lead instead of per click.
The real economics sit in the plan. A one-off ant treatment pays once; a quarterly plan pays every quarter, and the customer tells the neighbors. So the page explains the plan before the first visit, the follow-up email offers it after, and the CRM tags which channel produced plan customers. That number, more than inspection count, decides where next summer's budget goes.
