Optimize Your Marketing to Gain New Pest Control Leads

Whether you're spending your marketing dollars on pay per click (PPC) advertising, retargeting ad campaigns, local SEO, or all of the above, effective marketing costs money. All of these tactics are different, and some are more effective than others, but you won’t know that unless you’re measuring your return on investment (ROI).

According to this Hubspot blog, “If you’re dealing with an online ad strategy like PPC, where ROI data is usually tracked automatically, you might be able to easily see how your ad’s return compares to others that are similar … If you’re dealing with other strategies like content marketing, it might be hard to tell if your blog posts, podcasts, or videos are leading directly to a purchase – especially when the content isn’t on or linked directly to a landing page.”

Determining your marketing ROI can be challenging, but it doesn’t have be.
