We picked one industry. Yours.

We started out like most small marketing shops: taking whatever work walked through the door. A dentist one month, a law firm the next, a pest control company after that.

The pest control work was the only kind that kept us up at night, in a good way. It is a business where marketing is not decoration. Somebody finds droppings under the sink at 9pm, picks up a phone, and one company gets that job. There is a clear line between what we do and whether a truck rolls tomorrow.

It was also the work we were worst at, at first. We wasted a client's money learning that termite season starts months before anyone types the word termite. We built a services page when we should have built nine. We treated a bed bug emergency and a quarterly contract as the same customer, which they are not.

Every one of those mistakes cost somebody real money. That is what changed our minds. A pest control owner should not be paying tuition for an agency's education.

So we stopped taking anything else. No dentists, no law firms, no restaurants. We spent our time learning the seasonality, the ticket sizes, the difference between route density and raw lead count, and why the map pack decides more than the website does. Now every hour we work goes into one industry, and the company that hires us gets a team that already knows the answers.
