The Company:
Founded in 2014 and based in Denver, Advantage Pest Management serves residential and commercial clients across the region. Owner-operator Jim Ross has built a company rooted in culture and simplicity — keeping services straightforward, agreements clear, and employee satisfaction high. With five technicians and a dedicated office team, Jim prioritizes work-life balance, employee retention, and customer experience as the drivers of long-term growth.
The Challenge:
As Advantage grew, marketing became a roadblock. Like many PCOs, Jim struggled to find a reliable marketing solution: “I bounced between companies that promised results, but failed to deliver. After a few months, I would stop hearing from them at all.” Without a strong online presence, Advantage struggled to stand out in a competitive Denver market. Jim needed a partner who could keep pace with industry changes, deliver consistent leads, and provide the transparency that had been missing.
The Solution:
Coalmarch stepped in to rebuild Advantage’s digital foundation.
- A new website gave the business a clean, professional look — or as Jim puts it, “They made us look like the five-star company we really are.”
- A strategic SEO plan strengthened Advantage’s visibility in Denver and supported consistent business growth.
- Transparent reporting made results clear and actionable, with Coalmarch explaining shifts in strategy and how to stay ahead.
- Consistent lead flow gave Jim confidence that the phone would keep ringing — even during slower seasons.
Together with Applause, which powers technician engagement and reviews, Advantage built a full-circle growth system that connects marketing, customer experience, and retention.
The Results:
Since partnering with Coalmarch, Advantage Pest Management has seen measurable impact:
- 6,200+ organic sessions generated since launch
- 4,400+ visits from Google Business Profile — the top traffic driver
- 1000+ organic leads captured
- 150%+ business growth in less than two years
- 500+ Google reviews with a perfect 5.0 rating (powered by Applause)
Jim credits the consistency above all else: “Even in slower seasons, I know the phone is going to ring. That’s the confidence Coalmarch has given me.”


The Value:
Advantage Pest Management’s story shows what happens when strong marketing meets a strong culture. With Coalmarch fueling growth, Jim has built a five-star company that continues to scale in Denver’s competitive market.
Conclusion:
