Starting problemWhen the owner came to us, he was running a $180,000 to $220,000 tree service with no website and no advertising. Work came from word of mouth, and he had 30 Google reviews.
DiagnosisTree work is searched for in the moment it is needed. With no website and no ads, the company was invisible at exactly that moment, and word of mouth alone could not carry a growing crew.
What we changedBuilt the website first. A few months later, launched Local Services Ads and Google Search ads so people searching for tree removal in his area could find him. Behind the scenes, ongoing consulting on handling customers, selling and managing the crew.
