In this episode of Pest Control Legends, Danny Leibrandt sits down with Mat Rogers, the COO of Lizard Marketing and one of the most innovative minds in pest control marketing. From scaling his family's company, Killingsworth Environmental, to $28M+ and helping Aruza Pest Control expand as CMO, Mat’s been in the trenches of service business growth for nearly two decades.
We dive deep into the second digital marketing renaissance—how SEO, PPC, social media, and AI are colliding faster than ever. Mat breaks down how Google's AI Overviews and Gemini are changing what it means to show up online, why “page one” no longer matters, and how service businesses need to adapt now to avoid getting left behind.
