Local SEO and Google Business Profile management for established Connecticut landscaping companies who aren't showing up when "landscapers near me" gets searched, built on real keyword research for your market, not a template.
Ranking isn't one fix. It's the foundation, the content, and the backlinks working together, in that order. Here's what's included.
Category accuracy (landscaper vs. lawn care vs. landscape design), service list, business info consistency, and citation cleanup across the directories that actually feed local rankings.
Service pages and content built around the real terms Connecticut homeowners search, not generic landscaping copy reused across every client.
Actual link building, billed near cost, not a vague "authority building" line item with no receipts.
Posts, review response, photo and category upkeep, plus visibility work for Google's AI Overviews, not just the old map pack.
Built a handyman business from zero to the point of turning down work. Quoting jobs and depending on local leads isn't a case study here, it's lived.
No promises of fast rankings for money. Real local SEO takes sustained work, and that gets said plainly before any contract, not after.
Backlinks are billed near actual cost instead of buried inside a flat fee, so the true cost of ranking is never a surprise later.
Direct access to the person doing the work. No hand-off to a junior account team once the contract is signed.
I started out running a handyman business from zero, deck rebuilds, painting, apartment cleanouts, and built it to the point where I had to turn down jobs. I know what it costs to lose a call because a competitor showed up first and you didn't.
Now I help local service businesses, including landscaping companies, get their online presence in order: Google Business Profile, local SEO, and the content and backlinks that actually move the needle. I won't promise you a fast ranking for money. I'll tell you honestly what it takes and do the work.
Free Local Visibility Audit. A real check of your GBP category accuracy, review velocity, and current map-pack rank for "landscapers near me," stacked against 2-3 real competitors.
Fix the foundation. Category corrections, citation cleanup, and keyword-mapped service pages. This step doesn't guarantee a ranking, it makes ranking possible.
Build content and real backlinks. Content matched to how Connecticut customers actually search, backed by real links billed transparently.
Track and adjust monthly. Ongoing GBP management, review responses, and reporting so you always know where you actually stand.
Having one isn't the same as ranking with it. Category accuracy, review velocity, citation consistency, and the content behind your website all affect whether you show up in the map pack, and now, in Google's AI Overviews too. A profile that exists but isn't managed usually stays invisible.
Management runs $697 to $1,797 a month depending on the tier, plus backlinks billed separately near actual cost, roughly $150 to $300 per link depending on volume. Full breakdown is in the pricing section above.
Nobody honest can promise a fast ranking for money. Real local SEO takes sustained work, fixing the foundation, building keyword-matched content, and earning real backlinks over months, not days. If someone promises overnight results, that's the first sign to walk away.
Backlinks are the most expensive, most variable part of local SEO. Burying that cost inside a flat retainer either overcharges you in a light month or eats the margin in a heavy one. Billing near actual cost keeps the fee honest and the total cost visible.
Most local SEO agencies run the same templated playbook across every market and every trade. This is single-operator work: real market-specific keyword research for your service area, not a copy-paste plan, and straight talk about what's actually changing with AI Overviews right now.
Start with a free Local Visibility Audit. No pressure, just a real look at where you stand and what it would take to fix it.
