What is actually wrong

Four numbers that make operators leave. Four that replace them.

Each column is a number an operator hears on a sales call, where it comes from, and the Ziwi number that replaces it.

The website $3,000 to $8,000 The quote from other agencies for a website with a page per pest Typical agency range for a home service site, Ziwi market notes 2026. A range vendors advertise, not a survey.
At Ziwi $0 Build fee of $2,500 waived when a plan runs 12 months, hosting included.
A change Weeks How long a swarm notice waits on the site The word operators use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi 24 hours A notice, a new town, a price: done by the person who built the page.
The call Voicemail Where the call goes while your tech is in a crawl space The gap operators describe: a homeowner with termites in the kitchen does not leave a message. Not a measured average.
At Ziwi 72 seconds Every call and form texted back in 72 seconds, nights and weekends too. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement 12 months The term an agency asks an operator to sign One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi Month to month The site, the domain and the ad accounts are yours. Cancel any month for $0.

Two figures on the top row are words, because nobody measures either: "weeks" is what operators say about a site change, "voicemail" is where the termite call went. Each Ziwi figure below the rule sits on the pricing page today.

Questions

Asked, answered, and the fine print beside it

Six questions, the short answer, and the fine print beside it.
The questionThe answerThe fine print
Which marketing agencies for pest control companies have no contract? Ziwi does, month to month with no contract, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month, every rung published. Elsewhere, $249 a month all in, website included (Footbridge Media); SEO retainers from $1,500 to $7,500 and up a month (The Search Sherpa) (checked October 2026). See what pest control marketing costs, line by line. $497 past $1,500 of spend, $797 past $3,500.
Should a pest control company sell quarterly plans online? Yes. A plan page with the price, what is covered and a buy button turns a one-time ant call into a recurring route stop. Link it from every pest page. Every Ziwi pest site has one.
Who owns the site and the ad accounts? Yours, from day one, month to month. Site, pest pages, domain, ad accounts, call tracking. Leave any month with all of it, for $0.
Is Google Ads worth it for a pest control company? Usually, for the searches that cannot wait: termites, bed bugs, a wasp nest. Local Services Ads reach that homeowner today, while the map pack and plan renewals take months to build. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
How fast does it start? Ads on termite searches within 24 hours, the site in 3 days. After discovery, approvals and logins.
Is the free website actually free? Yes. The $2,500 build fee is waived in full. On $99 hosting or $299 Ziwi Care, 12 months.
