SEO for landscapers in Canada

Canadian landscaping is two businesses in one company. From March to October the searches are "landscaping company [city]", "interlock [city]", "sod installation", "lawn care near me", "deck builder"; from November they are "snow removal [city]" and "snow plowing contract", made by the same homeowners. The company whose pages answer both seasons keeps the customer all year.

HomeStars holds the review searches and the map pack holds the local ones. Neither can show a homeowner what your interlocking stone driveway looks like on a street like theirs, three winters in, which is what a homeowner reads before choosing.

Provincial associations and the trade certifications belong on the page where they exist, and so does the insurance a snow contract requires, because commercial clients check it.

The searches in Canada

The shapes landscapers are found by in Canada. The words in brackets are whatever the searcher puts there: the town, the suburb, the matter, the treatment.

  • landscaping company [city]
  • interlock [city]
  • snow removal [city]
  • sod installation near me

What is different in Canada

Two seasons, two sets of pages

Interlock, sod, retaining walls, decks, planting and lawn care for the warm months; residential and commercial snow removal for the cold ones. The winter pages are built in summer and the summer pages in winter, so each is ranking when its season arrives.

Interlock is the word

Canadians search "interlock" and "interlocking stone" for what other countries call pavers. The pages use the words customers type, and the photographs show your own work with the city named.

HomeStars and the map pack

HomeStars cannot be outranked on its own ground, so the plan takes the map pack, keeps the HomeStars profile consistent with the Business Profile, and puts the reviews and photographs where a homeowner looks.

What a month of work covers for landscapers in Canada

  • A service or guide page written or rewritten each month, timed to the season ahead
  • Google Business Profile: services listed, project photographs added as they finish, every review replied to
  • Review requests at handover, worded to draw out the project and the town
  • Citations on the trade and local directories, identical everywhere
  • Technical fixes: images compressed so the site stays fast, tappable number, service and area markup
  • A monthly Search Console report of the project searches you appear for, and the enquiries behind them

The industry page, SEO for landscapers, has the problems and the questions in full; the country page, SEO services in Canada, has the search landscape in Canada for every trade.

The search landscape in Canada

Seasonality decides the calendar

Pages for a seasonal service need to be written and indexed months before the season. Publishing a snow removal page in November is publishing it late.

Province first, city second

A page per province that a business genuinely serves, with city pages underneath only where there is real service, reads as true to both a buyer and to Google. A footer listing every city in Canada does not.

French is a separate job

Quebec search is a different campaign with different pages, written by somebody who writes French natively. We do the English side and say so plainly rather than machine-translating.

Cities in Canada with their own page

Each is written for the way that city searches and for the trades that search there most.

Working with us from Canada

SEO happens in your accounts and on your website, so nobody needs to visit. We scope the work on a video call in your hours, send a written quote, and then work month by month with a call whenever you want one. The result is judged on the enquiries in your own records, never on a ranking report.

Results from real clients

Every number below is from the client’s own Google Search Console, for the period shown. Impressions are how often the site appeared; clicks are people who arrived. What each visit is worth is your sales process, not ours, so these are the visits we can prove rather than a conversion figure we cannot.

Questions landscapers in Canada ask us

We get most work from HomeStars. Why change?

Keep it, and add the enquiries that come to you alone. A homeowner who finds you on the map or your own page calls one company, without a lead fee.

Should snow removal have its own pages?

Yes. It is a different search, made in a different season, often by a commercial client with insurance and contract questions the landscaping pages never answer.

How long until it works?

Profile changes show within weeks. Job pages take a season, which is why each season’s pages are built during the other.
