The Fundamentals of Your Landscaping Marketing Plan

                                               (Who)

                                                                              (What)
                               (How)

MARKET
Many landscape companies try to sell to everyone with a landscaping need. That’s a big mistake. When you
try to sell to everyone you are selling to no one. Another mistake is to try to cover a service area that requires
your crew to drive an hour just to provide the service. So, who is your client? Is it the coupon clipper, the
middle-class suburbanite, or the affluent homeowner? What area can you service efficiently and profitably?

MESSAGE
Once you define your ideal customer, (avatar) you then need to define your message. When you know
exactly who your customer is, you can craft your message specifically to them. The person that lives in a
multi-million-dollar home has very different priorities than someone barely scraping by. If your prospects
and clients feel like you are talking directly to them, they will respond better to your message.

MEDIA
When you have your ideal client (avatar) and message in place, it becomes much easier to choose the right
media to get that message in front of the prospect.

SEO Strategy

SEO is not a “set it and forget it” project. This is a problem many landscaping
companies face. They either try to implement a campaign on their own or they hire a
company that may not be the best choice for their industry.

Almost no one clicks to the second page of the Google Map listings and very few ever
scroll past the top 4-5 listings on the first page of Google.

In order to succeed with SEO, you need an action plan. Using the checklist
included below will ensure you are starting with the right fundamentals.

Paid Internet Marketing Campaigns
Although a good website and solid SEO is the foundation of online success, it’s also
beneficial to employ solid paid campaigns along the way.

What paid initiatives will you implement?
     Pay-Per-Click - Google Ads, Bing Search
     Retargeting (Banner Ads)
      Facebook advertising
      Paid Directories

Why most pay-per-click campaigns fail:
• You set-up only one ad group for all services (lawn care irrigation, fertilization, etc.)
• You don’t use specific text ads and landing pages for different groups of keywords
• You don’t have a strong call to action or offer on the landing page
• Campaigns are not properly managed, monitored and adjusted for maximum ROI

Do you have KPI tracking in place?

1.    Call tracking – In order to measure your Internet Marketing Campaign’s success, you
need to have call tracking in place. Call tracking not only allows your company to see the
number of inbound calls generated but also allows you to listen to the recorded calls. Have
you missed opportunities? Could you implement training for your staff?

2.     Average cost per call generated – Does the amount of money you spend on
advertising deliver the right amount of calls? Would you like to know the average cost of each
call and lead?

3.     Visitors to your website – How many visitors do you have on a daily, weekly, and
monthly basis? You need to be aware of the amount of traffic that comes to your website.
Does more traffic result in more calls? Are you targeting the right keywords to attract better
traffic?
Implementing simple website analytics with reports delivered in an easy to read dashboard
creates a clear picture of how well your marketing is working and how it can be improved.

Key Trends for 2020
  •   Voice search will dominate
  •   Mobile website conversion
  •   Google Local Service Ads
  •   Shifting from "Phone Conversion" to "Messaging Conversion"
  •   Growth of Google Snippets in search results.
  •   Google My Business (GMB) will play a bigger role in search
