Landscaping and lawn care, by the numbers
Google Keyword Planner, Oct 2026. Job cost: HomeGuide, 2026
Homeowners ask AI for help with both the yard and the budget. Your free audit checks which companies get named for questions like these in your area.
On top of the basics every plan includes: your Google profile, reviews, weekly posts and listings. See how we put you first
Profile, photos and service pages updated in winter, so you're already near the top when March searches spike.
Before-and-after photos are your best sales tool. We put them on your profile, in posts and on your site.
A review request after the first cut or the finished install, so weekly customers turn into public proof.
Lawn care, design, irrigation, hardscaping and cleanups each get their own page, because people search for the job, not the trade.
Landscaping and lawn care are different searches. Pick the primary category for the work that brings in most of your revenue.
Secondary, where they fit: "Lawn care service", "Landscape designer", "Lawn sprinkler system contractor", "Gardener", "Landscape lighting designer".
Mostly mowing and maintenance? Make "Lawn care service" the primary category instead.
Landscaping searches jump from about 49,500 in December to 165,000 in March and April, then ease off through summer. Lawn care follows the same curve.
The companies that win spring are the ones whose profiles are already complete, reviewed and active in January and February. That's when we do the heavy lifting.

One page, in plain English: how many people called, asked for directions or visited your site, your new reviews, and where you show up on the map for the searches that matter.
3-month minimum: local search takes a few months to move. Then month to month. Compare all plans
Being full lets you choose better jobs and raise prices. More calls in spring means you pick the installs and recurring customers you want, instead of taking whatever comes.
Not if it's one business at one location. One profile with the right categories and every service listed is what Google's guidelines allow, and it keeps all your reviews together.
Yes. Snow removal can be listed as a service and posted about in winter, which keeps your profile active in the slow months.
In winter, ideally. Google needs a few months to move you up, so starting in December or January means you're near the top when March arrives.
