Website Design & Development

If you want to succeed in today’s marketplace, you need a professional website. Your website forms the foundation of your company that supports all other aspects of your digital promotion efforts.

Organic Search

Organic search is most often the primary source of website traffic. It will ultimately move users towards completing a purchase.

SEO Builds Trust

The end goal of SEO is to establish a strong connection to a website that offers a great user experience and is easily discoverable in searches. That is accomplished by gaining trust and building the credibility of your brand.

Developing trust and establishing your authority takes time. It is worth the effort, however, as having both will do more for your brand than possibly all other digital optimizations.

Local SEO Leads to Increased Conversions

Mobile traffic continues to rise and dominate, making local searches key to the success of small- and medium-sized businesses.

Local SEO optimizes your digital properties for a specific vicinity. This makes it easier for people to find you and puts them one step closer to a transaction.
Local optimizations focus on specific cities, towns, states, and regions, which establishes your brand’s messaging on a local level.
SEO experts optimize your website’s content, including backlinks and local citations. They will also optimize local listings relevant to your brand’s location and company sector.
Search engine optimization experts will optimize your brand’s Google My Business listing, your media profiles, and Knowledge Graph panel to promote engagement on the local level.
User reviews are critical to have, as people look at them and trust what others have written. You want reviews on Google and Yelp as well as industry-specific sites.

SEO Practices Are Constantly Evolving

Google changes their algorithms at the rate of thousands every year, so constant monitoring is required just to stay current. Professional search engine optimization help is essential to assist with monitoring and adjusting strategies, so you get ahead of the competition.

SEO Saves You Money

When you consider the payoff in terms of the benefit to your brand as well as your bottom line, investing in search engine optimization is well worth it and will save you money in the long run.

SEO is Measurable

You can use tracking and analytics to understand how certain actions affect performance and growth. Know your digital performance, past, present, and where you are going.

PPC

It’s essential to know how PPC (Pay-Per-Click) works and what you can do with it to monetize and grow your company. This also relates to advertising on Facebook, Bing, and Google!

Keyword strategy

Keyword strategy is still a driving force, so you need to know what your target audience wants and what they search for.

Be Consistent in Presentation

Your keywords, landing page, and ad copy must all work together cohesively to form a single focus for best results.

Use Google Display Network (GDN)

GDN is a must if you want to build your brand at a lower cost than search clicks.
To limit your target area, layer your GDN targeting options. You can still build your brand by targeting only your immediate geographic area.

Track Your Conversions

Tracking your conversions is necessary if you want to know if your search methods are working. You’ll want to know your cost per conversion break-even point as well as your pre- and post-click strategy.

Use Ad Extensions

AdWords currently has nine ad extensions from which to choose. Select the ones that are relevant to your business, including promotion and price extensions.

Create Display Ads in All Sizes

This is a time-consuming process but if you skip this step, you may miss major promotional opportunities. It’s another reason to let a professional help you with your digital promotion so that you are free to spend your time working on the business itself.

Social Media

Using social media is a must if you want to connect with and grow your audience. To do this successfully, you must know your unique USP and understand your target audience.

Social media will also increase the amount of traffic to your website. Being talked about and engaged in this network will improve that all-important search engine optimization ranking.

Learn How SEO Will Help

Build Brand Identity and Awareness

Connecting with your audience on an emotional level gives your company a human and personal touch that will help you stand out from your competition.

Drive Traffic to Your Website

Being active on networking platforms will increase the amount of traffic to your website. It plays an essential part in your sales funnel.

Social media is an SEO ranking signal; when you have relevant content and are engaged, Google views your website as more authoritative.

Deliver Better Customer Service

Respond to feedback. Engaging with your customers before and after a sale shows that you care, which will bring greater trust to your company or brand.

Manage Your Reputation

Part of your marketing strategy must include managing your online reputation.

The instant feedback you get on networking platforms allows you to deal with any negative feedback or comments immediately, diffusing the situation, and resolving the issue. You can even turn around negative comments if you deal with them publicly and respectfully.

Promote Your Content

Content marketing is vital for many reasons, including:

Search engine optimization
attracting new customers
establishing yourself as an expert.

Increase Trust

Establishing your networking platform presence lets potential customers know they can trust you. Trust is vital in building a customer base, especially when you consider the amount of competition out there.

Obtain Customer Insights

Your customer’s feedback and ideas are essential to help identify common pain points and thus shape the development of your offerings and promotional campaigns

Stay in Your Customers’ Minds

Staying in your customers’ thoughts will help foster loyalty, influence purchasing decisions, and encourage repeat purchases.

Warren Buffett said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.” So true!

You want customers to leave reviews for your business online, but what do you do about the occasional negative review that may or may not be justified? 92% of consumers read online reviews before deciding to purchase, so you need to be constantly aware of what is said about your business and deal with it promptly and professionally.

Types of Landscaping Business We Help

We work with the following types of landscaping business:

Residential

Residential landscaping will always be in demand in part because homeowners know that a well-maintained lawn will increase the value of their property and make it easier to sell.

You need to be quickly found when homeowners in your area are looking for the services and products you provide. We can help you get noticed first.

Commercial landscaping businesses may have multiple locations, either within the state or across a greater area.
