One project is worth 1,400 mowing visits.
Landscaping, lawn care, tree service, irrigation and pest control companies sell work that ranges from a $45 visit to a $65,000 build. Almost every SEO program in this trade is aimed at the cheap end, because that is where the search volume is. We aim at the work you actually want.

What is better visibility worth across your work mix?
Pick the work you want more of and price it at your own numbers. The arithmetic is shown in full, and the most useful output is not the total. It is the contrast between what a maintenance visit is worth and what a project is worth.
Weekly maintenance is modeled as an account: $45 a visit across 34 visits a season, or $1,530 a year.

One design-build project is worth about 1,444 weekly mowing visits. If your marketing only targets maintenance searches, that is the work you will get.
The Titanium program is $575 a month, or $6,900 a year, against 14 additional customers or projects.
Authority takes three to six months to build. Rankings established in February capture the spring window. Work commissioned in April does not.
Volume is the wrong target, and this trade proves it.
A weekly maintenance account is worth roughly $45 a visit. A full design-build outdoor living project is worth $40,000 to $100,000. Same company, same trucks, often the same crew.
Maintenance keywords have high volume and low value. Design-build keywords have low volume and enormous value. An agency reporting on sessions will always steer you toward the first group, because that is where the graph goes up.
Maintenance accounts are not worthless. They are the entry point. A mowing customer becomes an enhancement customer becomes a design-build customer. The honest position is that both matter, and that most companies are only marketing for one of them.
Design-build SEO →One design-build project is worth about 1,444 weekly mowing visits. If your marketing only targets maintenance searches, that is the work you will get.
Five accounts on one street beats five across a metro.
Drive time between stops is unbilled, and for maintenance-led companies it is the difference between profit and break-even. Two hundred scattered accounts can be less profitable than a hundred clustered ones, and no ranking report will show you that.
So the goal is not citywide visibility. It is dominance in the specific neighborhoods where a crew can run a tight route, ideally the ones whose property values support enhancement and design-build upsells later. Most agencies sell rank in your city. That is not the same product.

Seven kinds of company. One set of economics.
Recurring contracts, route density, sharply seasonal demand, and the same residential and commercial buyer. Pest control is on this list because it shares all four, and frequently sits inside the same company.
Rankings set in February capture spring. Work commissioned in April does not.
In northern markets a landscaping company books the majority of its year in a six to eight week window. Demand does not build gradually. It arrives when the ground thaws and everyone calls at once.
Authority takes three to six months, so the honest timeline puts the decision in autumn or winter, exactly when contractors have time to think about marketing and no cash-flow pressure to justify it. It is the least urgent-sounding argument available, which is why almost nobody makes it.

This is the part most agencies will not put in writing. You get the address of every asset built for you, every month. If you leave, the links stay, because you own them permanently.

Questions
How much does landscaping SEO cost?
Programs run from $65 a month on Basic to $575 on Titanium, with no contract and the setup fee waived. Most companies running maintenance alongside design-build need Platinum at $325, because 20 keywords will not cover both.
How long before we see results?
Authority takes three to six months to build. That timeline is why the right month to commission SEO in a northern market is October, not April. Anyone offering a date is guessing.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. No agency can. What is guaranteed is the deliverable: the number of guest posts, Web 2.0s and amplification links in your tier, each delivered with a live URL you can open and check.
Do you build city pages for our service area?
No. Thin city pages are a liability. Local structure here is built around route clusters that match how your crews actually run, which is a different and more useful exercise.
Why is pest control on a landscaping site?
Because these businesses share the defining economics: recurring service contracts, route density, sharply seasonal demand, the same residential and commercial buyer, and frequently the same company. Pest control has its own page with its own strategy rather than being treated as landscaping with a different noun.
What happens if we cancel?
Everything built for you stays yours, permanently. Every link, every page, every asset, with the live URLs already in your reports. There is no clawback and no contract to exit.

No contracts. Setup fee waived. A dedicated account manager on every plan, and every link delivered with a live, clickable URL that you own permanently. We do not guarantee rankings, because nobody honestly can.
