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.
