Internet Marketing for Landscaping Contractors
The landscaping industry needs search engine optimization.
Lanscapers cannot rely on paper media in today's market.
In the 80s and 90s, the big yellow book was all the marketing the average landscaping contractor or landscaping business needed. Unfortunately, twenty years later the yellow pages model doesn’t work. Today’s market is moving away from paper advertising at an alarming rate. Studies show people are looking to the internet for goods and services at a dramatically increasing rate. More specifically, today’s consumers are using search engines like Google and Yahoo to find not only information on landscaping, but also lanscaping contractors in their area. Your company's website could show potential clientele the quality and benefits you offer over other less reputable landscapers. In fact, a website can have hundreds of pages, video, text and pictures all detailing your company’s commitment to excellence. Rather than fight to survive in the big yellow book with the other national landscaping companies, why not corner a market the industry hasn’t fully grasped yet?
But if no one sees your site, why spend the money?
Simply put, a well marketed and optimized website enhances other forms of advertising. Business cards, flyers, door hangers, radio spots, television commercials, yellow page advertisements, etc. all have size and text limitations. Your landscaping company’s website can be referenced on all of these forms of advertising to expand on everything you couldn’t in the past. Potential clients can utilize your website to learn more about particular services they may be interested in or just to get you on the line immediately because they're looking to have their yard redone.
Search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO) will put your business at the top of a sea of landscaping contractors.
Just as other forms of landscaping equipment are outdated, landscapers themselves need to follow suit and stay with the marketplace. Search engines are today’s yellow pages. Internet users are increasingly using search engines to find both local and national services. Search engines continue to grow as internet users become more sophisticated in their search habits and as more and more local businesses are now online.
A well search marketed website will appear on page one of major search engines like Google and Yahoo.
