Landing pages: the anatomy of a page built to get the call
Read the transcript

A page with one job: get the call. A generic homepage is slow and makes people hunt. A vague slogan, a menu of everything, and the phone number buried. Lead with the job and the town. The headline matches what they searched for and where they live. Real photos and video of your work. Your team, your trucks, your finished jobs. A click to call button and a short form. One tap to call, or three quick fields to request an estimate. Show the towns you serve. Visitors know right away that you work where they live. Fast on a phone. People search from the driveway. The page loads before they lose interest. Built to get the call. Every block on the page has one job: turn a visitor into a booked estimate. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

Why work with MAJ

Why landscaping companies across Greater Cincinnati call MAJ

Your problem

Two businesses sharing one budget

Cheap mowing clicks soak up the money meant for patio buyers, spring calls roll to voicemail while crews work, and design-build quotes go quiet.

What we build

A separate lane for each side

Maintenance gets route-tight search ads, a fast text back and booking links. Design-build gets project video, gallery pages and quote follow-up, all in one CRM that reports by source.

  • One system, not four vendors

    Ads, video, pages, CRM and follow-up are built and run together, so no lead falls between vendors.

  • Your own work on camera

    We shoot your finished patios, walls and clean lawns in house, so ads show real jobs instead of stock yards.

  • Ohio and Kentucky covered

    Our Google Business Profile is in Loveland, and pages follow each state's rules from Dayton to Northern Kentucky.

Where the money leaks

Five ways landscaping companies lose money on marketing

  1. Lawn clicks eat the patio budget

    One campaign for everything lets cheap mowing searches soak up spend while the patio buyer, worth far more per job, never sees a project gallery.

  2. Leads from outside the route

    A sign-up three towns over costs the same as one on your densest street, but the windshield time eats the margin all season.

  3. The spring rush goes to voicemail

    When every homeowner calls in the same few weeks, the company that answers first has the strongest chance at the contract. Crews are in the field, so the call rolls to voicemail and the buyer calls the next name.

  4. Design-build quotes go cold

    A hardscape buyer takes weeks to decide. Without a follow-up plan, a March quote is forgotten by May and the job goes to whoever checked in.

  5. No idea which source booked the job

    Door hangers, Facebook, Google and referrals all get credit in the owner's head. Without tracked numbers, budget follows guesses.

Two businesses, one word

Lawn care marketing and hardscape marketing are not the same job

"Landscaping" covers two businesses with different math. Maintenance and lawn care live on route density, recurring contracts and the spring sign-up window, so that marketing should stay tight to your service area and answer fast.

Design-build hardscape is a high-ticket sale with a long decision. A homeowner planning a paver patio, retaining wall or outdoor kitchen studies photos, watches video and asks about permits before booking a consult, so that side has to show finished work and keep in touch for weeks.

Plenty of companies do both. We keep the money, pages and follow-up separate so each side gets its own cost per booked job.

    A monthly report of leads and booked appointments by source, cost per booked job by service line, and where to put your budget next.

Follow-up

How a patio quote stays alive until the homeowner decides

Hardscape buyers rarely sign at the first visit. This pipeline gives every estimate a next step, so nobody has to remember to call.

  • Every lead is a card: new, contacted, consult booked, quote given, won or lost
  • Automatic check-ins after the quote, written in your voice
  • Lost jobs get a reason, so you see whether it was price, timing or design
CRM pipeline: every lead tracked from first call to won job

Every lead gets a card. Every card keeps moving. Every call, form and text becomes a lead card. Nothing lives on a sticky note or in someone's head. Cards move across clear stages. New, Contacted, Estimate booked, Estimate sent, then Won or Lost. Follow-ups go out on day 1, 3 and 7. Automatic texts and emails, so quotes do not go cold. Day 1, check-in text sent. Day 3, follow-up email sent. Day 7, last check-in text sent. Customer replied. Every quote ends in Won or Lost. Won jobs move to the schedule. Lost ones get a reason, so you can learn from them. Won: added to the schedule. Lost reason: went with another quote. The whole pipeline on one screen. See what is new, what is booked and what is waiting, at a glance.

Why MAJ

Why a landscaping company should consider MAJ

  • Separate numbers for each side

    Maintenance and design-build are reported apart, so a strong patio month does not hide a weak sign-up month.

  • Video is where we started

    Manny trained as a filmmaker at Ohio University and started MAJ as a video company. Showing finished outdoor work is our home turf.

Landscaping marketing questions

What does a landscaping marketing agency in Cincinnati do?

It brings in calls and forms from homeowners who want your services and helps turn them into booked jobs. At MAJ that means ads, map listing, SEO, landing pages, video, a CRM with follow-up, and a monthly report of leads and booked appointments by source.

Is lawn care marketing different from hardscape marketing?

Yes. Lawn care is a fast, recurring, route-based sale. Hardscape is a slow, high-ticket sale won with photos, video and follow-up. We run them as separate campaigns with separate pages and separate numbers.

Which ads work for landscaping companies?

It depends on the service line. Google Search and Local Services Ads catch people searching right now. Meta ads with project video reach homeowners planning a patio or wall. Your Google Business Profile and reviews shape what homeowners see on the map.

When should landscapers spend the most on ads?

Ahead of demand. Push maintenance sign-ups in late winter, fall seeding and aeration in August, and design consults plus snow removal through the winter. OSU Extension's central Ohio guidance puts September as the seeding window.

Can you promise a set number of landscaping leads?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We show you exactly where leads come from, what they cost and how many book, and we move money toward what produces booked jobs.

Do you serve companies in Northern Kentucky?

Yes. We serve Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Dayton. Kentucky has its own pesticide licensing through the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, so Kentucky pages and ads are written to match.

Landscaping marketing by town

Pages written for each town's rules, permits and neighborhoods.
