Internet Marketing and Advertising for the Green Industry
How do you tap into the network of online advertising without wasting your money on advertising that can bring you little results? Advertising on the internet can be risky for landscaping companies because you may be paying for someone across the country or the world to see your ad or website. You need localized advertising. You ask yourself, well how can internet advertising be an effective way to advertise locally. Well let’s think about this for a second. Who is your target audience? It is either businesses or someone willing to pay for lawn maintenance or landscaping. These are the people who use the latest technologies in everything they do. These are the people who go to the internet to find things they are looking for. They do this because they know that they will find the most information about what they are looking for. You want proof? How did you find this article? You looked it up on the internet. This is the way people find what they are looking for now. So they go to the internet to search for landscaping companies in their state or even their own town. Now you might be asking yourself, well I’m a lawn care company, not a landscaping company. Most people don’t know the difference. They believe that a lawn care company is the same thing as a landscaping company. So they search for landscaping companies in their state and whatever website shows up at the top of Yahoo, MSN, or whatever search engine they use, that’s the one that they are going to visit to find a landscaping company. What about the yellow pages? I can't tell you how many owners of landscaping companies have told me that they spend
hundreds of dollars each year to be listed in the yellow pages and don't get any calls from their listing. I ask why they continue to spend the money there and it is simply because all the other companies are listed. If you want to throw away money just because every other company does, throw it my way. I can guarantee you will get no calls if you give me your money and then you won't have to worry about it. What you need to do is take that money and get a website designed and optimized for the search engines. What it means to get a site optimized for search engines is that when someone searches for landscaping companies in your town your website shows up in the top 10 search results. For more information on how to optimize your website for top rankings visit http://www.lawncaredirectory.com/search-engine-basics.htm With a website that has been properly optimized, people in your service area will be able to find your website. It will be the best form of local advertising that you will have because once the site is designed and optimized, you don't have to do anything else or pay anything to anyone. You can't beat free advertising that brings people looking for you to your website. You can also list your company with its new website at LawnCareDirectory.com for FREE. Make your landscaping business grow and get online today. To learn more about getting your own business website http://www.lawncaredirectory.com/landscaping-websites.htm.
