Local SEO for landscapers, starting with the map pack.
For a landscaping business, local SEO is decided in the three-result Google map pack — and the map pack is ranked off your Business Profile, not your website. We run that profile end to end for $297 setup, $99/mo.

Where landscapers lose local search.
Snow and mow cycles let one client pay for the website twice over — only if the site can capture both contracts. A profile that goes quiet between seasons stops reading as active to Google right when the searches spike — and the competitor posting weekly takes the slot.
Meanwhile the money goes to a website and blog posts that live a full screen below the map. Fix the profile first: categories, the complete service list, real service-area coverage, geo-tagged photos, seeded Q&A, and reviews arriving every month instead of once a year.
- Spring inbox flood that takes two weeks to triage
- $30K design-build leads getting the same intake form as a $200 mow
- Portfolio photos stuck on a phone instead of a portfolio page
- No CRM to keep snow plowing customers warm through summer
Four steps, in this order.
- 1. Profile rebuild
Primary and secondary categories matched to what ranks for landscaping terms in your metro, the full service list, attributes, description, service areas, hours, photos, and Q&A.
- 2. Review velocity
Your last 24 months of customers imported into a paced campaign, then an automatic request on every completed job so it never goes quiet.
- 3. Weekly activity
Two to four posts a week written from your services and season, and an AI-drafted reply on every review within the hour.
- 4. Website and service areas
Once the map pack is producing calls, service-area pages and site SEO extend reach past the radius. Add-on, not the starting point.

Common questions
What does local SEO for landscapers actually involve?
Mostly Google Business Profile work: the right primary and secondary categories, a complete landscaping service list, correct service areas, steady review growth, weekly activity on the listing, and consistent name/address/phone data. Those signals decide the three-result map pack, which sits above every website result on a phone.
How much does local SEO cost for a landscaping business?
Agencies typically quote $800–$2,500 a month, heavily weighted toward website and blog work. Our program is $297 to set up and $99 a month to run, focused on the profile that decides the map pack. No contract.
How long until a landscaping company sees results?
Category and service corrections can shift rankings within a couple of weeks. Review-driven prominence compounds over 60–90 days. The past-customer reactivation campaign in month one is usually the first visible jump.
Do landscapers need a website to rank locally?
Not to rank in the map pack. A site helps for organic results and for closing the visitor once they land, and we build them as an add-on — but a well-run profile books jobs before the website does anything.
Do you work with competing landscaping companies in the same city?
No. One landscaping client per metro. We are not going to optimize two profiles fighting for the same three map pack slots.
