Does your landscaping website need SEO in 2026?
Is your landscaping company website working for you?
What do I mean by that?
There are 6 things your outdoor living website should accomplish for you
But even more importantly - it should deliver for your prospects and future clients
For you and your clients

Is website SEO important in 2026?
Yes, it can be a valuable source of leads
But should it be your first marketing investment?
We focus on the most likely things to generate leads NOW - LSAs, Google Ads, MAPS and Facebook ads - and then recommend website SEO as an extra bonus once your lead flow and sales process is established
Why?
It can take 3-6 months to rank your website and even start to generate leads - the whole time you are paying your agency serious bucks because it takes real work to rank a website high organically in 2026 (organic is what they call anything that’s not paid!)
And it's still hard to show on the first page when you are up against Local Service Ads, Google Ads, Maps and all the big players like Thumbtack and Angi.
To maximize your chances of showing up without paying for SEO right now, I recommend that you do these 5 things…
Create unique service pages
Create regular local content
Update your before/after project images frequently
Be sure your website content mentions the cities you serveGet backlinks from directories and trusted websites
Yes, SEO is still important for your website, but consider carefully if it's the first marketing investment you want to make!
