The Client

A Washington landscaper built on referrals

North County Landscape Co. covers lawn care, irrigation, and snow removal across Whatcom County, Washington. They serve residential and commercial properties and specialize in using native plants.

They came to us in November 2023 wanting three things: qualified leads, visibility in the cities they actually serve, and a partner they could trust with the reporting.

✓ We delivered.

Problem & Fix

What was broken, and what we did about it

They had the reputation. They didn't have the rankings. After a previous marketing partner left them with no reporting and no explanation, nobody could say why. Here's the audit, line by line.

Before — the problem

  • ✕Template site, not a search asset. Nothing built to scale, and it didn't reflect the quality of their work.
  • ✕Thin and missing pages. Core services and service areas had no page to rank.
  • ✕Slow loads, crawl errors. Search engines struggled to index what did exist.
  • ✕A form that cost them jobs. The Estimate Request created friction at the worst moment.
  • ✕Blind tracking. Attribution leaned on Service Autopilot, so nobody knew what worked.

After — the fix

  • ✓Full WordPress rebuild. A site their team can update themselves, built to keep adding pages.
  • ✓Service and location pages. Written around the questions people already search.
  • ✓Technical foundation reset. Metadata, headers, page speed, crawl cleanup.
  • ✓Google Business Profile managed. Local visibility across the cities they serve.
  • ✓Tracking fixed first. Conversion tracking and lead attribution before anything else.

FROM OUR STRATEGIST
“When we first started working with North County Landscape Co., they weren't seeing the organic visibility they wanted across their full service area. We implemented dedicated service area content to target each market they serve, helping expand their reach and connect with potential customers throughout their entire service area.”

Questions Owners Ask

What this took, in plain terms

How long before the numbers moved?

About 15 months.

Tracking fixed Nov 2023 → content through 2024 → redesign late 2024. The big gains landed in the 2025 busy season.

Where did this growth come from?

Organic search and their Google Business Profile.

Paid channels are tracked separately and aren't counted in any figure on this page.

What actually drove it?

Four moves, in this order:

  • •Measurement first, meaning conversion tracking and lead attribution
  • •Service and location pages built around real searches
  • •Technical reset: metadata, page speed, crawl issues
  • •Active Google Business Profile management
Would a landscaper in another market see the same numbers?

Not identical ones.

Your starting point, competition, and service area all change the math. What transfers is the sequence: measure, fix the foundation, then build the pages.
