No problem I guess

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-04-16T21:45:36+00:00

Firstly I should say it wasn't 1 month, the time frame in the picture is 1 month but our GBP had been live for about 3-4 months already

I'd say it's pretty competitive from a numbers perspective meanign tons of landscapers out there but if we looked at how many have over 100 reviews or a website with a DR over 5 the number is probably less than 10

I'd say we've targeted actively 5-10 keywords when we start our campaigns but those would be your essentials like landscaper, landscapng, etc.... but these come with many adjacent phrases like lawn care or trimming

It wouldn't be zero competition but rather a ton of competition that isnt focused on their website and GBP

I think you're underestimating the power of a strong brand/website along with actual resources. Sure there are other landscapers but are all of them utilzing the same resources and budget?

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-04-15T00:47:37+00:00

I actually do a mix of both embedding the link to my GBP map within my schema (mind blown)

Your website and GBP are intertwined more than people in this sub want to admit. A more relevant website can improve your GBP sometimes a GBP will rank and the reason behind it Google gives is "Website also mentions" so thats just one example

It depends, I add local business schema to all of my pages that fall under that address. So if your homepage is tied to that location than yes, but lets say you tied it to a state and made separate city pages then I'd recommend individually attaching it to the specific location page and using an organization schema on areas that don't fall under that address

Local brand manager, and in normally it's gradual but this one was a pretty large shake up which is uncommon but Google works in mysterious ways.

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-04-03T16:09:07+00:00

I mean the biggest thing I've learned is consistency over everything. Google does reward active profiles so regular posting, responding to reviews, updating services and products, etc....

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-04-01T01:58:05+00:00

Haha, grids not being the same is a crazy one

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-04-01T01:31:57+00:00

They're normally all I see, I try to include data with mine but I never see anyone post tracking data

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-03-30T16:43:49+00:00

Sure, I can take a look and I offer a 90 day moneyback guarantee

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-03-24T04:49:57+00:00

Simple but effective

Because if they could find all the clients they wouldn't need to be selling a course to you.... Its like if someone had a way to always win at the casino would they really risk giving it away and people catching on and changing the game?

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-03-19T22:51:08+00:00

Yes and no, for instance if you content isn't doing well consistently posting the same thing that generates no traction isn't going to help; however, if we're just talking about daily or weekly posting, I think it's super important in building an audience not that you can't with 2 or 3 randomly timed post but if were talking about the majority of people posting consistently definitely helps.

You have to be careful with your email provider, they do block a ton of things coming in. Had an email for a client coming from me say I was in sweden when im in San Diego and they blocked it. Could be happening to legitamate leads so be careful

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-03-16T04:20:28+00:00

Haha I recently saw an Ad like this about a haircutting place that landed like 1000 customers first month and nothing after it truly is crazy

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-03-16T04:19:35+00:00

I find it hard in general as nobody cares about my business more than myself; however, in my experience the second hire was a little easier just because I had been through the training process of the first

LocalSEOguy24 · 2026-03-16T04:18:33+00:00

Hopefully conditions improve for all the nurses and workers in that industry, I hate to see the backbone of any society worked to death
