Pipeline for Landscaping (six stages)

GUIDE
You do this yourself today. I give you the checklist or the script.
DFY
I do this for you. It is part of the package.
LATER
I add this after day 15, once the phone side is running.

1) Get found

Get found on photos of this week's yards.

Spring search is a pile-on. A card with one truck photo and a 2019 review loses the tap.

I do not promise LSA here; the default paid layer is Search + Google Business Profile. Lawn care and landscaper are separate categories where LSA exists, and availability is by ZIP. Photos of finished yards beat a studio logo.
  • GUIDEPhoto-led niche checklist; seasonal keyword list for what you actually sell.
  • DFYClaim and complete GBP. Tracking numbers on card, site, ads.
  • DFYSearch ads + GBP weight. LSA only if the ZIP and category actually run. You keep the accounts.
  • LATERCity pages, WordPress you own. Not week 1.

2) Answer first

Win the route this week.

Landscaping rarely rings at 2 a.m. It dies in April when three shops quote the same lawn and the first clear text with a window gets the route.

In season, speed means a quote and a window. Missed-call text-back still matters at the peaks, and a weather-delay SMS keeps them from re-shopping.
  • GUIDEQuote ladder: weekly mow vs one-time cleanup vs install.
  • DFYInstant text: service, lot size or photo, first available crew day. Missed-call SMS under a minute.
  • DFYOne number per channel. Weekly listen of recordings.
  • LATERLive answering into your calendar.

3) Look trusted

Before-and-after is your product. Put it on the card.

Homeowners hire a stranger with a trailer. They look for wrecked sprinklers and "they never came back after the rain."

Reviews that mention property respect and a clean edge convert. Recurring mow clients almost never review unless you ask at week 4.
  • GUIDEReview prompts with one concrete line: on time, lawn height, irrigation flag.
  • DFYUpload real job photos (before/after, edges, mulch, drainage). Recency matters. Reply to what is on the card.
  • LATERReview cadence engine, photo factory.

4) Keep the job

Recurring routes and one-off installs are two machines.

You quoted a weekly mow and a patio. Both sat in texts. One went to the neighbor's crew.

Density of the route beats more ZIP codes. Follow-up is "we have a crew on your street Tuesday."
  • GUIDEDay 1 / 3 / 7 follow-up shaped to route vs install.
  • DFYTwo follow-up tracks: route (start date, gate code, dog, billing day) vs install (scope, deposit, material lead time).
  • LATERSpring-startup and fall-cleanup recalls to last year's list.

5) Fill the trucks

Hire in February. April is too late.

Every landscaper posts help-wanted the first warm week. Crews are gone and you turn down routes you just paid Google to win.

Labor is seasonal. The hiring page should say who talks to the homeowner; equipment and a tow license matter.
  • GUIDETwo ads: crew lead vs laborer. Pay range in writing.
  • DFYHiring page + "We're hiring" on GBP when you are turning work down.
  • LATERSeasonal labor calendar. Not week 1.

6) See the money

Revenue per stop, stops per day, and retain vs one-off.

A cleanup and a cheap mow both look like "a lead" in an agency report.

Judge the channel by route density and retained properties; raw lead count hides both. No invented %.
  • GUIDEMissed-call math on YOUR average ticket. Off-season floor for January work.
  • DFYScoreboard splits: recurring mow, one-time cleanup, install. Cost per booked job by type.

FAQ

+Is this JustCall, the phone app?

No. Better Call Stan is home-service growth for small landscaping shops. Not affiliated with JustCall.

+What does $2,497/mo cover?

Tracking numbers, Google card kept complete, missed-call and after-hours SMS, LSA or Search managed when the trade fits, answer script, review asks, weekly recording listen. Google spend is separate.

+Do I own the accounts?

Yes. From day 1.

+Will I get Local Services Ads?

I do not promise Local Services Ads for landscaping. Default paid layer is Search + Google Business Profile. If a lawn-care or landscaper LSA category is live in your ZIP, I check it. Badge language: Google Verified only.
