You're comparing pest control marketing agencies, and these two names keep showing up.
Good. That means you're doing your homework before signing a contract, which puts you ahead of most pest control operators who pick an agency based on a sales call and a good slide deck, then spend the next 12 months wondering why their phone isn't ringing.
Coalmarch has been in pest control marketing for over 20 years. They have native PestPac integration that we don't. If that's your number one priority, hire them. I mean that.
Cube Creative Design has been a digital marketing agency since 2005, and pest control is where we've invested hardest in recent years. When we work with pest control companies, that's all we're thinking about. Not lawn care. Not HVAC. Not "home services." Every strategy we build starts and ends with what it takes to get your technicians booked and your routes full.
I'm Chad from Cube Creative, and this is the honest comparison I'd want to read if I were in your boots. I'm going to tell you where Coalmarch is stronger, where we're stronger, and where neither of us is the right fit if that sounds like the kind of conversation you'd rather have before a sales call than during one, keep reading.

You're comparing Cube Creative Design and Scorpion. Good. You should. A 12-month marketing contract with either one is a real commitment, and the differences between us matter more than most comparison pages will tell you.

Where they're strong, where we're strong, and where the honest trade-offs are.

You're trying to figure out which pest control marketing agency is worth writing a check to every month, and you're tired of sales pages that won't give you a straight answer.
Pesty has been focused on pest control longer than we have. Their case studies name clients publicly. Their contracts are more flexible. And their one-client-per-city exclusivity model is simpler to understand than ours.
I work for Cube Creative, and I just told you four things Pesty does better. This post lays out where our model wins, where theirs wins, and how to figure out which one fits your business.
Kind of like choosing between a specialist exterminator and a full-service pest management company. Both solve problems. The question is which problems you actually have.
If you just want the short answer: skip to the Which Agency Actually Fits Your Business? section. If you want to understand the details behind the decision, keep reading.
If you're here because Pesty already has a client in your market, because you need more than SEO and PPC, or because you're not at $1M in revenue yet, you're in the right place. But even if none of those apply, this comparison will help you ask better questions of whatever agency you end up hiring. That includes us. That includes pest control marketing agencies you haven't found yet.

You've built a solid marketing engine. The leads are coming in. Your website works. Your Google ads are converting clicks. Your phone is ringing.
And then something happens between the lead arriving and the sale closing. Sometimes it's a whimper. Sometimes it's silence. Sometimes the prospect goes quiet for three days, and then you see they signed up with a competitor.
If you're running a pest control company, this isn't a feeling; it's a pattern. Coalmarch, a pest control-specialized marketing agency, reports that most PCOs estimate their sales close rate at 50%, meaning that for every 10 leads that come through the door, only five become customers. The other five disappear into the void, taking your marketing spend and your time with them.
For a company in the 31-50 employee range (the size where you're scaling operations and every conversion matters to your growth targets), that missing 50% is costing you real money. It's costing you twice as much in marketing spend per customer acquired. It's costing you routes that don't fill up, technicians with unscheduled days, and revenue that should be on your books.
The problem isn't your leads. The problem isn't your marketing. The problem is what happens after the lead arrives. The sales process happens in the 24 hours after a prospect first reaches out. And most pest control companies are getting that completely wrong.
Here's what we're covering in this post: the five reasons your close rate is stuck at 50%, and the specific systems that pest control companies use to move that number north.
