Let me be straight with you: Coalmarch has earned its seat. Twenty-plus years exclusively in pest control and lawn care, 400+ companies served, proprietary tools built for the industry, native PestPac integration, and a philosophy — lead quality and route density — that shows they actually understand how a pest company makes money. Since joining the WorkWave family, they’re as institutional as this niche gets.
Two structural things to weigh. First, the commitment: public sources report 12-month contracts that convert to month-to-month only afterward — and pricing isn’t published, so you’re negotiating a year-long deal blind. Second, the ecosystem: being owned by WorkWave (makers of PestPac) is great if you live in that software world, but ask who owns the website, the ad accounts, and the data if you ever leave the family.
We ask for exactly one month of trust at a time: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, printed publicly, no setup fee, 7-day full money-back guarantee — and the Google Ads account, landing page, and call tracking numbers are opened in your name, live in ~48 hours. If we don’t perform, you leave — and take the entire machine with you.

I’ve watched this movie for 15 years. A pest control operator signs a 12-month agency contract in January. By April he suspects the leads are soft. By June he’s sure. But the contract runs to December, so he pays six more months for marketing he’s stopped believing in — because the exit costs more than the disappointment. The agency didn’t have to stay great. It just had to get the signature.
Long contracts exist for one reason: they transfer risk from the agency to you. And in pest control — a route-density business where every wasted month is a route not built — that risk is compounding. An agency confident in its work doesn’t need your year. It needs your results.
That’s the bet LSM makes every 30 days: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking numbers — in your name from day one, live in ~48 hours. Our AI manages bids daily through termite season and slow winters alike; I personally oversee every account; you approve everything before launch. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market. If we ever stop earning it, leave — with everything.

Not the whole platform. Coalmarch bundles SEO, websites, brand work, and deep PestPac/WorkWave integration — we don’t do SEO retainers, website projects, or CRM platforms. We do one thing deep: a high-intent Google Ads lead machine you own, watched daily by an AI account manager. If you’re committed to the WorkWave ecosystem and want everything wired into it, Coalmarch may be your pick — we’ll tell you honestly on the call.
Pricing isn’t published as of July 2026. Public comparisons report 12-month contracts that convert to month-to-month afterward — so ask for the monthly fee, the full first-year commitment in dollars, and who owns the website and ad accounts at the end. Our terms are public: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, no setup fee, month-to-month from day one.
Yes — pest control is one of our core trades, and its economics (recurring routes from one good call) are exactly where owned high-intent search shines. One city, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market.
Not necessarily. The PestPac integration is convenient, but your marketing shouldn’t be chosen by your field software. Our machine sends calls to your tracked numbers and works alongside any CRM or routing software, including PestPac — and it stays yours no matter what software you switch to in three years.
