Simplified Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for
Lawn & Landscaping Businesses
Build long-term search visibility with a clear SEO strategy for your website and Google Business Profile.
Is your lawn care or landscaping business near the top of search results for keywords like “landscaper near me”? If not, you’re probably losing business to the companies that do appear in the first few search results. As many as 75% of users never scroll past the first page of Google, and over 25% only click the first result.
Websites don’t rank highly on Google by chance. They use effective search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to tell Google’s algorithms to display their pages for related search terms. At Green Marketing, we know the best SEO strategies for lawn care and landscaping businesses — and we’d be happy to put them to work for your business’s growth and profitability.
How SEO Drives Growth for Lawn & Landscaping Success
Consistent Organic Leads
SEO brings interested users directly to your (digital) door. Potential customers searching for lawn care or landscaping businesses in your area will find your company near the top of search results. These organic “leads” will have the opportunity to click on your website, learn more about your services, and schedule with you.
No Ad Spend Required
SEO is a completely organic strategy, which means you don’t need to pay to rise to the top of search results. You can save your marketing budget for targeted advertising strategies.
Solve Customer Pain Points with Relevant Content
One huge aspect of increasing search rankings is writing relevant, informative content for your website. This content kills two birds with one stone: It boosts search engine visibility and gives customers the information they need to decide to hire you.
Become the Local Authority in Your Market
Potential customers view the highest-ranking lawn care businesses as the most trustworthy choices. You’ll automatically instill trust in your target audience by implementing SEO strategies.
The Steps We Take to Boost Rankings with SEO for Lawn & Landscaping Businesses
Research & Strategy
Competitive Analysis
We start every SEO campaign with in-depth competitor analysis. We want to understand the nuances of your local market to determine exactly how we can help you. We also need to know the current high-ranking businesses in search results so we can outperform them.
Service / Keyword Research
Keyword research is at the heart of SEO. We use tools like Google Keyword Planner to find the specific search terms your business can and should rank for in Google, along with understanding their search volume and difficulty. We also dive deep into your service areas to map out highly targeted, specialized content for your site.
City / Opportunity Research
Learning more about your city helps us tailor our SEO strategy to your target market. We’ll review your city population, the average income, and the distance between your business and all service areas to explore opportunities for growth within search engine results.
On-Page SEO
Keyword Optimization
Keyword optimization involves using keywords in specific frequencies throughout your website content. Our content writers create natural, professional content that seamlessly incorporates keywords to drive search engine rankings.
Content Creation and Structure
We structure written content precisely to comply with Google’s algorithms. Headings, meta descriptions, and calls to action, along with writing the most professional, high-quality content, help boost rankings.
Internal Linking Strategies
Adding hyperlinks on top of relevant text throughout your content can improve your authority in the eyes of Google’s algorithms. We will thoughtfully place internal links (to other pages of your website) and external links (to authority sources) within your content.
Recurring Blog Articles
Our professional content writers will periodically create new blog posts for your website. Google prefers websites that are regularly updated with high-value content.
Technical SEO
Site Speed Performance
Your website should have a site speed score of at least 90 to rank well in search engines. If the loading speed isn’t up to par, we’ll make technical adjustments until it is.
Mobile Responsiveness
Does your website look just as good on a mobile device as it does on a computer? Mobile responsiveness affects your rankings and website traffic. We’ll make sure your site looks great on every device.
Schema Markup Implementation
Schema markup is a high-level strategy that involves adding specific tags to a website’s code to help search engines understand the content. We’ll mark up each page of your site to increase rankings.
Crawlability & Indexing
Crawlability is Google’s ability to read and index a website for search results. We’ll ensure your website “speaks Google’s language” to improve your chances of ranking for specific keywords.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile Optimization & Management
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is just as important as your website when it comes to local SEO. We’ll flesh out your GBP with accurate details about your business and optimize it for Google. With these strategies, your GBP will rank near the top of this section of the search results.
NAP Citation Building
Ensuring accurate name, address, and phone number (NAP) data across all online listings supports SEO. We’ll reach out to local and national directories to include your business information — a process known as “citation building.”
Recurring Location-Specific Content Creation
Writing high-quality content that targets specific locations in your service area helps support local SEO. We’ll include unique details about each city to show Google and your website visitors that your business understands the complexities of lawn care and landscaping in your area.

Common SEO Questions from Lawn & Landscaping Business Owners
Q. How long does it take to see results from SEO?
A: While the exact time it takes to see results from SEO varies depending on market competition, expect to wait at least three months. SEO is a bit of a slow burn, but it’s well worth the time investment.
Q. What is the difference between local SEO and traditional SEO?
A: Local SEO helps increase your rankings for users in your geographical area or those searching for your city. Traditional SEO attempts to boost your rankings for national searches. We’ll focus our efforts primarily on local SEO to target the users most likely to become customers.
Q. Do I need a new website for SEO to work?
A: Optimizing a new website from the beginning can help SEO. We offer custom websites as a free component of our digital marketing services.
Q. Can you help businesses with multiple locations?
A: Yes, we provide SEO services for multi-location businesses. Our search engine strategies target search queries in specific geographical locations. For multi-location businesses, we build city pages for each location and use targeted keywords to boost local rankings.
Q. How does SEO complement paid advertising?
A: SEO complements paid advertising by working in the background, while paid ads offer more immediate results. When you partner with Green Marketing, we’ll roll out paid ads quickly while we continue shaping your SEO strategy over the first few months. This will allow you to begin attracting new customers while waiting for SEO to start working.
