Our SEO case studies
Our landscaper SEO services
Homeowners search for a landscaper by project type and city, then look at photos of finished work before they call. SEO Montreal™, an SEO agency in Montreal, starts from the groundwork laid out by our SEO agency for construction companies (local SEO and Google Business Profile, city pages, backlinks and technical SEO), then adds the landscaping SEO services and organic search work specific to the trade.
One page per landscaping service
We split your site between design-build work (landscape design, planting, retaining walls and patios) and maintenance (lawn care, hedge trimming and tree pruning): the two audiences have different budgets and different timelines. Each service page targets its own keywords, such as “backyard landscaping” or “lawn care” plus the city, and leads to a quote request. Pavers and pools, if you offer them, each get their own page.
Project galleries built for Google Images
Landscaping is bought visually, so we organize your project galleries by project type and neighborhood, with before-and-after photos placed next to the text that describes them. Google’s image SEO best practices state that Google doesn’t index CSS images and that alt text is the most important attribute for image metadata. We write descriptive alt text for every photo, rename files by project and location, then add an image sitemap.
Seasonal content published ahead of demand
We publish your content (price guides, landscape design ideas and blog posts on native plants for shade or full sun) before the spring rush of quote requests, since yard projects are often planned in late winter. These guides target long-tail searches from homeowners who are already researching. Each guide then links to the matching service page, so readers can move from an idea to a quote request.
Licenses and trust signals homeowners check
We put the trust signals a homeowner can verify on your website and your Business Profile, because they compare several landscapers before investing in their yard. That includes your contractor license number where your state, province or city requires a license, and your pesticide applicator license if you apply pesticides for clients. Requirements vary from one jurisdiction to the next: you confirm what applies, and the technical content stays your responsibility.
Residential clients and commercial contracts
We treat property managers, HOAs and condo boards as a separate audience: someone looking for a commercial grounds maintenance contract types different keywords than a homeowner dreaming of a new backyard. We build a commercial maintenance page that covers visit frequency, included services and the properties you maintain, with the same approach as our B2B SEO agency. That page can bring in maintenance contracts when residential demand slows.
Visibility in AI search answers
We also target questions like “what hedge grows in shade” or “when to aerate a lawn,” which can get a direct answer in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT or Perplexity. We structure your plant and lawn care guides with structured data so your landscaping company can gain visibility and be cited as a source. That work is the focus of our GEO agency.

Everything about landscaping SEO
The landscaping search cycle, season by season
Landscaping searches follow the seasons, so we build your company’s SEO around four moments. In warmer climates the dates shift, but the logic stays the same.
Late winter: planning the yard
Homeowners browse design ideas, compare styles and look for a price range before asking landscapers for quotes. We publish price guides and inspiration pages at that point, linked to your portfolio and your landscape design pages.
Spring: quotes and the first mowing
Demand jumps for design quotes, spring cleanups and lawn care. We move your Google Business Profile and recent project photos front and center, with a quote form that asks for project type and budget, to convert visitors and sort qualified leads.
Summer: finished projects and maintenance
Finished jobs produce the best photos of the year. We add those projects to your galleries and neighborhood pages, then work on lawn maintenance, watering and irrigation keywords.
Fall: cleanups and contracts
Searches shift to leaf removal, aeration, hedge trimming and fall planting. We also prepare next spring’s service pages and your commercial maintenance page before contracts are signed.
Landscaping SEO and the competition
On local landscaper searches, your website competes with the map pack, directories and lead platforms such as Angi. A local landscaping business rarely ranks for the broad term on its own, so we go after more targeted searches by service, city or neighborhood. If clients don’t come to your address, your Google Business Profile can be set up as a service-area business, as covered on our plumber SEO page. Link building relies on editorial backlinks and guest posts, with no questionable practices.
Our landscaping SEO method
Audit your services and service area
We start with an audit of your website, your Business Profile and the competitors in the cities you actually serve. We then assess each keyword tied to your design and maintenance services by volume, competition and season.
Rank your services by season and margin
Before peak season, we prioritize the service pages that bring in the most revenue, for example landscape design or commercial maintenance. We then add your service area pages and review those priorities every month, through a monthly report or a meeting, as you prefer.
Deliver before peak season, Google Ads included
Our team works directly on your website over the winter (service pages, title tags and meta descriptions, project galleries and internal linking) and updates your Business Profile. Google Ads management, included in the mandate with no management fee, can help bring in spring quote requests while SEO gains momentum.
What landscaping SEO costs
For a landscaping company, an SEO mandate costs about $1,500 to $2,000 a month, with Google Ads management included at no management fee. The price depends on the scope of work, your services and the competition in your service area, not on a fixed price grid. The mandate runs month to month with 30 days’ notice and the work we’ve built stays yours.

What is SEO for landscaping companies?
SEO for landscaping companies, also called landscaping SEO, brings together service pages, project galleries, your Google Business Profile, seasonal content and backlinks. We build it so that a homeowner or property manager who wants to design, maintain or transform their yard finds your company on Google. Compared with general contractor SEO, demand is more seasonal, buyers decide from photos of finished projects and design-build work draws different buyers than maintenance.
Landscaping SEO FAQ
Ideally in the fall or early winter, when jobs slow down. That is the time to build service pages, rename the summer’s project photos and prepare price guides, so they are live before homeowners start planning their yard. Results depend on your market, your city and the competition, and no legitimate agency can guarantee specific rankings.
Yes. Weekly mowing and a full backyard redesign sell at different prices and on different schedules: one is a recurring lawn care contract, the other a one-time landscape design project. We give each section its own menu, service pages and quote form, with fields that fit the request: frequency and lot size for maintenance, budget and timeline for design-build work. A cross-link can then bring your design clients back to your maintenance services once the job is done.
Use a short file name that describes the project and the city (for example, “stone-retaining-wall-front-yard-austin.jpg”), then alt text that describes what the photo shows, such as “Stone retaining wall and perennial beds in a front yard.” Google says file names give it only very light clues, while alt text is the most important attribute for image metadata. Write it for the reader, without keyword stuffing, which Google warns can make a site look like spam.
If your company applies pesticides for clients, your applicator license is part of the proof worth showing. We show it, with its number, on your lawn care pages, along with any contractor license, where your state, province or city requires one. Technical advice on products, application rates and local bylaws or ordinances stays yours: we write the copy, and you validate it before it goes live.
They can bring in leads. Your website and your Google Business Profile, though, belong to you: a homeowner who lands there sees your projects before your price. A solid platform profile can add to your reviews and visibility, but service pages, project galleries and Google reviews remain the core of SEO for landscaping companies.
It can, with a service page built for that reader. Before choosing a landscaping company, a property manager or an HOA board checks visit frequency, included services, insurance, the properties you maintain and your service area. We write that page with your real numbers, link it to your commercial projects and target searches like “commercial landscape maintenance” plus the city.
Winter is for getting ready: price guides by project type, inspiration pages built from last summer’s projects and answers to client questions about plants, retaining walls or irrigation. It is also the time to improve mobile page speed and Core Web Vitals and to update your Business Profile. If you offer snow removal, it gets its own page and its own keywords.
