Seasonality
The climate around Denver is intense sun, hail, big daily temperature swings, and a dry cold that freezes pipes left in exterior walls. That is the calendar, not a slogan you can reuse in another state.
Rodents move inside when it freezes. A summer mosquito ad is the wrong first line. Ants, roaches, and mosquitoes follow heat and water. Say whether you treat the yard, the kitchen, or both.
The houses change the job. brick bungalows, newer suburban tracts, and attics and roofs that take a beating from hail and UV
Slower months are for writing what you refuse and for the prep the customer has to do.

Reply to the reviews you have. Mention the job, not a discount. If you do not have reviews yet, the listing should still be accurate. Empty and honest beats a fake stack.
