01Two kinds of customer
Mowing to full makeovers.
Someone after a weekly mow searches differently from someone planning a sandstone retaining wall. We point your rankings at the end of this line you want more of.

Win the project.
Bigger builds get researched. Homeowners look at your past projects, photos and website pages before they ever ring. That's where project pages pay off.
02Timing
Spring sells. Winter builds.
Interest in landscaping in Sydney tends to climb as the weather warms. Rankings take weeks to build, so the quiet months are when to do the work.

03Your Google Business Profile
Keep what you do. Cut the rest.
Categories are one of the strongest ranking signals on your profile. A tight, honest set beats a long list every time.
✓Keep
- Landscaper primary
- Landscape designer if you design
- Lawn care service if you mow
One main category, plus extras only where it's genuinely a big part of your work.
✕Cut
- Garden centre
- Tree service
- Concrete contractor
- Fence contractor
Unless you really run that business, these pull your ranking away from the landscaping searches you want.

04Your website
Every project is a page.
Your finished jobs are your best marketing, and most landscapers leave them sitting in an Instagram grid. We turn them into pages: what you built, in which suburb, with the photos to prove it.
Each project page links to the service page and the suburb page it belongs to. Together they show Google what you do and where, and they get your site past the 30 indexed pages you need to compete. The basics come first: a title tag with your trade and suburb, a clear heading, your details matching Google, schema and your map.

Landscaper SEO questions.
Landscaping SEO means making your business the one Google recommends when locals look for garden work. We optimise your Business Profile, lift your Maps position, build project and suburb pages, and line up reviews and directory listings, so you appear for searches such as "landscaper near me" or "retaining walls Kellyville".
Rank in the Google Maps top three for landscaping searches in the suburbs you want, then show your work. That means a complete profile with the Landscaper category and every service you offer, project pages with real photos, regular reviews, and listings with matching details.
Pricing comes down to the size of your service area and how hard the local competition is. Watch the free video review first: it maps out your current position and the gaps. Want us to handle it? We'll send you a quote after that.
You'll usually notice early gains a few weeks after the profile and site are sorted. Holding a top three spot across a wide service area is a project of a few months, so autumn and winter are the ideal time to start.
"Landscaper" as the primary category suits most landscaping businesses. Add "Landscape designer" if you genuinely design gardens, or "Lawn care service" if mowing is a big part of your work. Avoid categories for businesses you don't really run.
Yes, within reason. Distance from your address matters on Google Maps, but service areas, suburb pages, project pages and photos tagged to those suburbs extend how far you show up.
Whichever you want more of. Maintenance customers search close to home and stay for years. Construction customers research more and spend more. We set up your profile and pages around the work you want.
Yes. Each project page adds real, unique content about a service in a suburb, with photos. Linked to your service and suburb pages, they build the kind of topical and local authority Google rewards, and they help homeowners say yes.
The best moment is handover, when the client first walks through the finished garden. Text them your review link that afternoon. Paid or discounted reviews break Google's rules, so skip them entirely.
Both are worth having, and we include them in your citation work. The catch is that marketplace enquiries usually go to several landscapers at once, at a cost per lead. A strong Google ranking sends people straight to you.
Logins or manager access for your Business Profile and site, five minutes to tick off which services you offer, project photos as you finish jobs, and a habit of asking pleased clients to leave a review.
