Spring bookings are filling up right now — and your competitors are getting them from Google
Landscaping searches spike 250% between February and April. By the time homeowners are calling, the companies on page one of Google are already booked out. If you're not ranking when demand surges, you're watching your busiest season go to someone else.
"Last spring I had to turn down work for the first time in 10 years. All from Google — no more Thumbtack, no more door hangers."

Common questions from landscaping businesses
My work is seasonal. Is year-round SEO worth it?
Rankings take months to build. If you pause in October and restart in March, you're starting from scratch every year while competitors who stayed active are already on page one. Arclo maintains your foundation off-season and ramps up before peak.
Landscaping is visual — can SEO really capture that?
Absolutely. Arclo creates portfolio pages with before/after descriptions that rank for visual search queries like 'patio design ideas [city].' Google Images drives real traffic for landscaping — and Arclo optimizes for it.
I mostly get work through yard signs and word-of-mouth.
Those channels work — but they don't scale. A yard sign reaches one street. A Google ranking reaches everyone in your city searching for that service. Most landscaping companies that break past the 2-3 crew stage do it with organic search.
