The landscaping near me search is the whole game
Most owners think they are competing on the work. For a stranger with a phone, you are competing on what shows up before the work is ever seen.
Here are the five things that decide who gets the call — in order of how much they cost you.
- Great work is invisible to search
Google cannot see the yard. It can only see reviews, photos and activity on your profile.
- Seasonal businesses look dead between seasons
A profile with nothing new since July reads as gone by February, right when people are booking spring cleanups.
- Your customers would rave if asked at the right time
Right after the final walkthrough, while they are standing in it. Not in an email two weeks later.
- Photos are your whole portfolio
Before and after shots on the profile do more for a stranger than any website you will ever build.
- One unhappy neighbor can own your page
Unanswered, it becomes the first thing anyone reads about your company.
What I actually do about it
I get the Google Business Profile right — hours, services, service area, photos, the things that answer a stranger's questions before they call. I make the review ask automatic, so it happens at the moment the customer is happiest instead of whenever somebody remembers. I answer every review in your voice, calmly, including the bad ones. And I track where you show up for the searches that matter in your towns, so you can see it move.
What I will never do: write or script a customer's review, buy reviews, swap reviews, or promise you a position on Google. Nobody can promise that, and anybody who does is lying to you.
The offer
Month to month. No annual contract. If you do not see your standing improve in the first 30 days, you get every dollar back and we part as friends.
The landscaping company down the street is not better than you. They are easier to find.
That is a fixable problem, and it is the only one I work on.If you want to see what comes up when someone searches landscaping in your towns
