I'm Chad, a partner at Cube Creative Design. Incline Marketing comes up often enough in conversations with pest control company owners that I decided to write the honest, side-by-side comparison I'd want if I were the one signing the contract. This is not a hit piece. Incline has real, well-documented wins, and I'll say so plainly before I make our case.
We're a marketing agency that works with pest control companies, so yes, I have a side. But a comparison that hides the parts where the other agency is stronger is worthless to you. So here is where Incline wins, where we win, and the trade-offs in between. I'll name the situations where Incline is the better choice, because for some companies it honestly is.

Every pest control owner eventually asks the same question: What should a lead actually cost me? It usually comes up right after a look at the ad spend, with the uncomfortable feeling that the number has crept up and nobody decided to let it. So you go looking for a benchmark, find a national average, compare yourself to it, and walk away either falsely reassured or needlessly alarmed. Neither helps.
Here is the honest version, and I run an agency that works with exterminators, so I see these numbers across a lot of companies. There is a real range for what pest control leads cost in 2026, and it is worth knowing. But the range only tells you the neighborhood. The number that runs your business is the one you calculate from your own close rate and your own customer value. This post gives you both: the real ranges, and the math that turns a vague benchmark into a decision you can actually make.

I'm Chad, a partner at Cube Creative Design. RedBrick Web Solutions comes up often enough in conversations with pest control company owners that I wrote the honest, side-by-side comparison I'd want if I were the one signing the contract. This is not a hit piece. RedBrick does several things well, and I'll say so plainly before I make our case.
We're a marketing agency that works with pest control companies, so yes, I have a side. Here's what makes this comparison different from the others in this series. RedBrick and Cube agree on the same core promise: no long-term lock-in, and full ownership of what gets built for you. So this isn't a fight about who's more honest on that point. It's a fight about proof, pricing, and platform. Those are the three places we actually diverge. I'll name where RedBrick is the better choice, because for some companies it honestly is.
