Adjust Your Budget
Seasonal campaigns may require different budgets throughout the year.
If searches for a particular service increase, you may want to allocate more budget toward that campaign.
Review performance before making major budget changes.
Target Your Service Area
Pest control is a local service.
Your advertising should focus on areas where your company actually provides service.
Avoid spending budget on locations where you cannot reasonably serve customers.

Use Seasonal Landing Page Messaging
Your landing page should match the advertisement.
If the ad discusses a seasonal pest problem, the landing page should immediately explain how your company handles that problem.
This creates a more consistent customer experience.

Review the searches that trigger your advertisements.
Look for searches that are:
Highly relevant
Unrelated
Informational
Service-focused
Outside your service area
This information can help improve your campaigns.
Add Negative Keywords
Seasonal campaigns can attract searches that aren't related to your services.
Negative keywords can help reduce irrelevant traffic.
Examples might include searches related to:
