(02) How customers pick a landscaper

They look before they call. Be what they find.

A new patio or a full backyard is a big spend, so people search, compare photos and shortlist. The companies on that shortlist are the ones Google showed them first.

Three ways a landscaping job starts on Google

  1. 1

    The big project

    A new patio, a retaining wall, the whole backyard. They type the job and their town, open a few sites and look hard at the photos. Won by: a page for that job in that town, full of your own finished work.

  2. 2

    The weekly regular

    Lawn care, mowing, spring and fall cleanups. They type “lawn care near me” and call one of the first names on the map. Won by: a Google Maps listing at the top for the towns you cover.

  3. 3

    The property manager

    A condo board, an office park, a plaza. They search “commercial landscaping” and their city, then shortlist the companies that look big enough to handle it. Won by: a commercial page that shows you’re insured, your crew size and the sites you already look after.

Number 1 in action: Angkorscape has a page for Sammamish. It’s first on Google for “landscape construction Sammamish”.

(03) What customers type

Customers search by the job. And the town.

Design-build, hardscape and maintenance are three different buyers. Every search below has its own competition, and needs its own page to win it.

The questions your customers ask before they call

  • How much does a new patio cost?
  • How far ahead do I need to book?
  • Do you handle the design and the build?
  • Can I see yards you’ve done near me?

Answer them on your site, for your towns, and you’re the company they trust before they’ve picked up the phone.

(04) The landscaping year

Rank before the rush. Pick your jobs during it.

Spring doesn’t wait for your website. The landscaper who ranks in March gets the big yards. Everyone else gets what’s left.

Winter

We build your pages and listing

Homeowners are planning next year’s project. Your work goes up while theirs is still an idea.

Spring

You’re at the top when they search

The calls come to you first. You choose the patios and full yards, not whatever’s left.

Summer

Maintenance fills the gaps

Lawn care and weekly regulars find you on the map and keep the crews busy between builds.

Fall

Cleanups, and next year’s bookings

Fall cleanups bring new homeowners in. The good ones become next spring’s projects.

(05) What we do

More of the jobs you want. In the towns you want them.

Every plan covers the three places customers look: Google Maps, the normal Google results and AI answers in ChatGPT and Google. We point the work at the jobs you want most, usually the bigger builds and the recurring contracts.

01

Your Google Maps listing

The free listing that puts your business on Google Maps, with your hours, photos and reviews. We set it up for how you actually work: the right categories, every service listed, the towns you cover, photos of your finished yards, and a simple routine for asking happy customers to leave a review.

02

A page for every service you want more of

Landscape design, patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, planting, lawn care, commercial grounds. Each gets a page of its own, written for the customer who wants that job, with what’s included, what drives the price and your own photos.

03

A page for every town you drive to

Your trucks cover more than one town. Your site should too. We build a page for each town you want work in, with the yards you’ve already done there, so you show up for the customer who types their own town.

04

Your finished work, front and centre

Landscaping is bought with the eyes. We turn your best jobs into project pages: before and after photos, the town, what was built and how long it took. They give Google something to show and give the homeowner a reason to call you over the next name.

05

AI answers

Customers now ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI which landscaper to hire. We work on getting your business named in those answers for your towns, the way Google’s AI names Angkorscape in Seattle, and we report where you’re named every month.

06

Reports you can read

Where you rank for each service and town, how many people called or sent a request from Google, and what we’re doing next. No jargon. Every month.

(07) Questions

SEO for landscaping companies, answered.

What landscaping companies ask us before they start.

Book my free strategy call
01 What is SEO for landscaping companies?

SEO means getting your business to show up when people search. For a landscaper, that's three places: Google Maps when someone types landscaper near me, the normal list of Google results when a homeowner types backyard landscaping and their town, and the answers ChatGPT and Google's AI give when someone asks who to hire.

02 We're booked every spring from referrals. Why do we need SEO?

Because a referral still ends in a search. The neighbour who was given your name looks you up before they call, and if what they find is a thin site with no project photos, they call whoever looks better. Rankings also let you choose the work: more of the patios and full yards you want, fewer small jobs you only take to fill the week.

03 How long does SEO take for a landscaping company?

If you don't see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren't on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are. We confirm which keywords qualify on the strategy call. Broad searches in big cities take longer to win than one service in one town.

04 How much does SEO cost for a landscaping company?

Usually $1,497 to $5,000 a month for Google Maps, the normal Google results, or both. Work across several websites usually starts at $5,000 a month. No long-term contracts. Getting named in AI answers is included in every plan.

05 When should a landscaper start SEO?

Before you need the calls. Homeowners plan big projects while the yard is still asleep and book them as the weather turns, so a company that ranks before the busy season gets first pick of the year's work. Starting in the off-season also means your crews aren't stretched while we set things up.

06 We do design-build and lawn care. Do they need separate pages?

Yes. A homeowner planning a new patio and a property manager hiring weekly maintenance type different searches and want different answers. The homeowner wants your past projects, your process and a rough idea of cost. The property manager wants to know you're insured, how often you come and what's included. Each gets a page written for them.

07 We work out of a yard, not a showroom. Can we still show up on Google Maps?

Often, yes. Google has its own rules for businesses that go to the customer instead of having customers come in. We check your setup against Google's current rules before we touch your listing, so it's set up in a way that lasts.

08 Should we just pay for ads or lead sites instead?

You can run both. Ads and paid lead lists bring work for as long as you keep paying for them, and lead sites often send the same homeowner to several companies. Rankings put you in the free listings underneath, and they keep working between invoices.

09 Do reviews decide who shows up first?

No. They're one thing Google weighs, and the first thing a customer reads. Google also weighs how well your listing and pages match the search, how close you are to the person searching, and how well known your business is across the web. We work on all of it, reviews included.

10 Can you get us named in ChatGPT and Google's AI answers?

Yes, it's part of every plan at no extra cost. Google's AI answer for luxury landscape designers in Seattle names Angkorscape, a landscape design company we work with, and cites its site. We track where you're named every month and show it in your report.

11 Do you guarantee a #1 ranking?

We guarantee page one, in writing: visible improvement in your key metrics within 20 days or your payment back plus $200, and your qualifying keywords on page one of Google within 60 days or we keep working for free until they are. We confirm which keywords qualify on the strategy call. No long-term contracts.

12 Who is this for?

Landscape design-build, hardscape, lawn care and grounds maintenance companies doing $20,000 a month or more. We take on 15 new clients a month, so every one of them gets the work done properly.
