1.0 Considerations
Bed Bug Doctor (BBD) seeks to create a website that captures demand for people looking for bed bug
termination. Based on a cursory review of project we suggest the following:
Strict Adherence to Keys to Small Business Success:
1. Correct Marketing Message
2. Targeted Marketing Efforts
3. Streamline Process to Capture Demand
4. (then) Marketing Materials
From experience in working with hundreds of small businesses we know that marketing materials
(business cards, brochures, websites) have very little to do with success. Despite this, many small
business start by focusing on marketing materials before answering key questions like.







Who is my market?
What do they want?
Who are they getting services from now?
How is my business better at serving the target market?
What is my core business message?
What am I best at?
Etc.
Answers to these questions can help BBD create a targeted message that fits the needs and wants of
potential clients. From that point marketing materials like the company website should be developed as
part of a strategic plan. We have a few online articles to help you hash out some of these basic questions
(click here)
2.0 Quick Marketing Plan
At the very least we suggest a quick market study to tell us how to develop marketing materials. For
example



Who are target markets?
Who are core competitors?
What services does your company provide that have competitive advantage?


What is your company’s core message?
A client intake sheet with many of these questions can be found here
We did a quick study on Google searching for various keyword combinations of Bed Bugs including local
searches using San Francisco. We found very few dedicated local companies that focus only on Bed
Bugs. Most top search results are from articles on heavily trafficked websites like sfgate.com,
bedbugregistry.com, sfbg.com.
What this tells us is that the search term Bed Bugs & San Francisco has very little traffic, which indicates
one of two things.
1. There is little market demand (or we may have the wrong keyword combinations)
2. There aren’t many dedicated suppliers to capture demand (at least locally –
www.bedbuginspection.info - seems to be prominent)
Depending on which is true should influence Bed Bug Doctor’s marketing approach. If there is little
market demand then much of BBD’s marketing efforts should focus on educating the market about the
problems that bed bugs present.
If there aren’t many dedicated supplier to capture demand then Bed Bug Doctor’s job is to blitz the market
letting people know BBD is open and ready for business.
Either way, below are some general marketing strategies we recommend:
1. Spend time to find profitable keyword combinations that people use online to find information
on bed bugs. (see below Google keyword output)
2. Spend time getting into local media (news papers, local news, etc. ). The top spots on Google
for Bed Bugs all belong to publishers. Publishers are always looking for Opinion Editorials and
news about problems that scare people. Ten mentions in various news outlets can position Bed
Bug Doctor better than $1,000’s in marketing.
3. Participate in Social Media: BBD should use social media services like facebook and twitter to
disseminate information. It’s cheap, fast, and effective.
All three of the above suggestions are free or relatively cheap ways to drive traffic to bedbugdoctor.org.
3.0 Website
We took a look at www.bedbugdoctor.com along with some competitor website and have the following
suggestions.
1. Stay Away from Click & Build Websites: though considerably cheaper than having someone
develop a website, a click and build website in the long run costs companies business. How
much it costs is hard to quantify, but we can clearly see that successful companies (small and
big) have professionally developed websites.
2. Use Design That Can Hold Information: we believe that a big part of BBD success will be
educating people on the problem and solutions. So we suggest a design that holds information
well. Designs like: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) – Note these are not recommended layouts, only examples to
showcase possible ways to display a lot of content.
3. Unique (Color, Logo, Pictures): as a small company BBD will want to do everything it can to grab
attention. Use of color along with custom logo and pictures can go a long way in differentiating
BBD from the competition. For example (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 – note #6 has a link to a feature on abc,
this is an example of getting on local media)
4. Scare People Further: if people are searching for bed bugs they have a concern. BBD’s job is to
make sure the concern becomes full blown fear, so users can see the complete value of services
offered. To do that we suggest the strategic use of pictures and video.
