SEO Strategy Cultivates Local Growth for Landscaping Company

The Challenge

Limited Local Visibility and Heavy Dependence on Branded Traffic

Despite a strong reputation and customer loyalty, this landscaping company struggled to rank for unbranded service keywords. Most organic traffic came from people already familiar with the business, and Google Maps performance lagged behind competitors.

The Approach

We started where most contractors stop. After a deep analysis of local search intent and competitive positioning, our team developed a strategy focused on:

  • Ranking in the immediate service radius first
  • Expanding visibility for hardscape, lawn maintenance, and snow removal
  • Optimizing Google Business Profile with strategic service categories
  • Publishing educational content tied to AI Overview queries and seasonal needs

Within the first 12 months, the strategy generated measurable improvements in both organic and local SEO metrics. By month 18, the company was outperforming competitors in key categories.
