Tree service marketing for the morning after the storm

Tree service marketing is how a tree company gets found when worry sends someone to a phone. SEO covers the map, the search results and your own site. Ads switch on for storm weeks. Reviews and proof of insurance close the sale.

How do you advertise your tree business? Be on the map when the search happens, show your license and insurance, collect real reviews and, if you want more calls in a storm week, run Google Ads in your own account.

How do you get leads for a small business? The same way: show up, prove it, answer the phone.

Tree work arrives in spikes, and it arrives with worry attached.

• The storm. A tree on the house, the car or the road. The phone rings all night and the next day, and the callers are scared.
• The tree that is clearly dying. A homeowner who has watched it for a year, and now it frightens her.
• The tree near the house. Close to the roof, the lines or the pool. This job needs a crane, careful crews and a company with real insurance.
• The stump. After a removal, someone has to grind it. The homeowner searches again, and the company that did the removal may not be the one she finds.
• The slow months. Pruning in the dormant season keeps crews working. It needs its own pages.

Homeowners ask before they hire, often at the door. A tree falling the wrong way is expensive, and she knows it. So the page and the profile put your insurance and license where she sees them first.

We write what you tell us is true, in your words. Your numbers and your coverage, shown plainly. We add nothing to the page that you haven't approved.

Stump grinding and tree removal are different searches and often different customers. A homeowner with a stump left behind types "stump grinding" and a town. She isn't looking for a crew with a crane.

If you grind stumps, they get their own pages, their own photos and their own town pages. Stump Stewards, a stump grinding company in Hamilton County, Tennessee, is built on that idea. Read the Stump Stewards field report.

1. Put insurance and license first. The pages and the profile show both.
2. Build pages by job and town. Removal, trimming, storm cleanup, stump grinding, emergency. One for each town you serve.
3. Make estimating easy. A form lets the homeowner send photos from her phone. You see the tree before the truck rolls.
4. Be ready before the storm. The profile and the pages are built in advance, and, if you want them, ads can be switched on when a storm hits. Reviews come after every job. Review requests are live. Real customers only.

We won't buy reviews, build link schemes or promise a rank. We don't write advice on felling or pruning technique.

Storms make ads worth turning on and worth turning off. SEO is what's there when the storm hits. Lead sites often sell one scared homeowner to more than one company.

We don't post prices. The cost follows how many towns you cover, how many services you want pages for, the shape of your profile and site, and how ready you want to be before storm season. You see the fee in writing before you sign. The ROI calculator shows how many jobs cover it.

Each month: one plain report with tracked calls, form leads, jobs we can tie back, what we did and what's next. We track calls from your Google Business Profile and your Google Ads. A call that reaches you any other way is not tracked, and the report says so.

"They are a trustworthy, diligent, and talented team that I would readily refer other businesses to." Christian Humbert, Stump Stewards

After a storm, should I run ads?

If you want the extra calls and have crews to take them, yes. Ads can go on when the storm hits and off when it ends. They run in your own account, and the money goes to Google.

Do homeowners check my insurance?

They ask, often at the door. Putting it on the page answers the question before you arrive.

I do stump grinding only. Is that its own page?

Yes. Stump grinding and tree removal are different searches and often different customers.

Can customers send photos of the tree?

Yes. A form that takes photos lets you quote more jobs without a drive. Some jobs still need a visit, and the form says so.

What hours should my profile show?

Only the truth. If you take storm calls at night, say so. If you don't, a promise of 24 hours costs you the review.

How do you track the calls?

Tracked calls come from your Google Business Profile and your Google Ads. Other calls are not tracked, and the report says so.

How do you advertise your tree business?

See the first answer near the top: the map, your insurance in view, real reviews, and ads in storm weeks.

How do you get leads for a small business?

Show up where the search happens, prove you are real, and answer the phone. Everything else is a slogan.
