LANDSCAPING · LOCAL SEO
The category has its own math: urgency, ticket size, seasonality, service area, reviews, and map coverage. We map where customers search, what they compare, and what proof they need before they call. Then we build the SEO and AI-search foundation around it.
SEO Essentials starts at $750/mo standalone or $400/mo bundled.
Request a visibility auditWhat makes landscaping different
Landscaping mixes one-time installs with recurring maintenance, and they search differently. A design-build buyer compares portfolios for weeks, while a maintenance buyer wants a reliable crew now, so your pages have to win both the big project and the steady route.
Spring is a stampede. Most of the year's sign-ups happen in a short window, so the visibility you build in winter is what fills the route before the rush instead of fighting for ads when everyone searches at once.
It is a visual, portfolio-driven sale. Buyers compare photos of finished yards before they ever call, so a profile and gallery full of real local installs does more selling than any list of services.
The numbers
We build the SEO around how this category actually makes money, not a generic checklist.
$500 to $20,000+ for design-build installs, $80 to $300/mo for maintenance
A spring sign-up rush, a busy summer, and fall cleanup demand
1 to 3 weeks for installs, faster for maintenance sign-ups
Maintenance routes and multi-year retention compound the value
Buyer behavior
We map the trigger, the comparison, and the exact words they type, then build the pages around them.
The gap
Plain-spoken, from running these businesses ourselves. Every one of these is fixable.
The plan
A disciplined local operating system, not a one-time optimization pass.
Split design-build from maintenance intent into separate pages, load the profile with real install photos, set the category and service area, and fix citations.
Publish the style and project content buyers compare, run review velocity, and build the maintenance-plan offer ahead of the spring rush. Start the geo grid.
Push neighborhood coverage where the high-value yards are, build the commercial and HOA maintenance page, and report which services and areas are driving sign-ups.
Why TVI gets landscaping
We have run businesses with the same split landscaping lives in: high-ticket one-time projects on one side, steady recurring revenue on the other, and a short seasonal window that decides the year. We build the SEO to win the spring rush and to sell the recurring route, not just a single install.
It all rides on the same local SEO program: GBP, geo grid, service and city pages, a review engine, and AI citability.
What success looks like
Landscaping Co. filled its maintenance route before spring and stayed booked into the fall.A landscaping company strong on referrals but nearly invisible online, with one muddy page covering both design-build and maintenance. We split the intent into separate pages, loaded the profile with real install photos, built the maintenance-plan offer, and timed review velocity to the spring sign-up window.
Illustrative example. Anonymized and not a specific client.
FAQ
Yes, on separate pages. Design-build buyers compare portfolios for weeks while maintenance buyers want a reliable crew now, so we split the intent so each finds what they need instead of blurring together.
By building the visibility in winter. The rankings and reviews take a few months to mature, so the work you do in the off-season is what fills the route before the spring stampede starts.
A lot. It is a visual sale, so we make sure your profile and pages lead with real local install photos that load fast, because buyers compare finished yards before they ever call.
Yes, and that is the steadiest revenue. We build a maintenance-plan page and offer so the searcher sees the recurring option up front, turning more first calls into season-long or multi-year accounts.
No. Flat monthly retainer. Every call is yours, whether it is a weekly mow or a $15,000 backyard build.
We can. Those accounts repeat and reward reliability, so we build a commercial and HOA page and surface the proof that you show up consistently all season.
The ones you want more of, yes. Each is its own search, so dedicated pages capture those queries and raise the average project instead of hiding them inside a general services list.
Profile and review work usually lifts calls within a month or two, with the competitive install and neighborhood rankings building over a few more. Starting before spring is what positions you for the rush.
Real reviews
Two years ago when I met Brayden I was throwing money at Yelp ads and getting tire-kickers. They redid our Google profile and fixed a bunch of ads I did not even know were wrong. The calls coming in now are real jobs. Wish I'd done it sooner.
