How people search for a gardener
Most people looking for a gardener want someone reliable who will come every fortnight and keep things tidy. They search "gardener near me", check a few reviews in the map, and message whoever looks local and trustworthy.
Gardening searches are mostly about trust and convenience. Good SEO for gardeners puts you in front of people close to your existing round, which is where the profit is.
| Search | What it means |
|---|---|
| gardener near me | The big one. It's won in the map results, so your profile, your service area and the number of recent reviews decide whether you appear. |
| gardener [your town] | Searched by people planning ahead. An area page for each village or town you cover helps you show for the places you actually want to drive to. |
| garden maintenance [your town] | These are the regular customers who become recurring income. A clear maintenance page that explains visits, frequency and what's included turns them into enquiries. |
| hedge cutting near me | Often a one-off that turns into a regular visit. A dedicated hedge cutting page with photos helps you rank for it separately from general gardening. |
| garden tidy up [your town] | Common in spring and when people move house. A short page on overgrown garden clearances catches these and gives you a way onto their round. |
| reliable gardener for elderly parent | Family members searching on someone's behalf. Reviews that mention being trustworthy and turning up on time are what win these. |
What's included
What SEO for gardeners actually involves
Every month, we work on the things that decide which gardeners Google shows nearby. Here's what that looks like for a gardening business. It's all in the £495, every month.
Your Google Business Profile, set up for gardening
The right primary category (Gardener), extra categories that match what you really do, a service area drawn around your round rather than the whole county, and regular photos of finished gardens.
Pages for each service and each village
Garden maintenance, hedge cutting, lawn mowing and tidy-ups each get their own page, plus area pages for the villages where you want more customers close together.
Reviews from your regular customers
Your existing customers are your best asset. We set up a simple way to ask them for a Google review, ideally mentioning the job and the village, which helps you show in that area.
Planning around the seasons
Spring is when people look for a gardener. We get pages, posts and photos ready before the rush, then shift to hedge cutting and autumn tidy-ups as the year turns.
Listings that agree with each other
Your name, phone number and area the same on your website, Google, and any directories you use, such as Checkatrade, Bark or local Facebook groups, so Google trusts the details.
Proof, written as it happens
What happened when SolarSave's new site went live.
SolarSave is a solar and battery installer in Retford. They're having a new website, then six months of SEO. The site went live on 17 October 2026, so this is the start of the story. The numbers come from Google Search Console, a map rank tool and SolarSave's own records.
-
1341,977Google views a day: the average the week before launch, then two days after. It settled at about 1,500.
-
6enquiries
In the first 11 days, 2 of them booked a call. Worth about £500 to £540 at SolarSave's own lead prices.
-
14.47.1Average map rank for “solar panels” round Retford, 10 to 19 October 2026. Lower is better.
The honest bit: SolarSave is a solar installer, not a gardener. We have no SEO results from gardeners to show you yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. clicks stayed at about 4 a day, because most of the new searches sat on page four to six. Climbing those is the job for the months ahead. It's too early to say how many of the 6 enquiries found SolarSave through Google rather than already knowing the name. Most of the map move happened before the new site went live, and we don't know what caused it. See the full SolarSave results
What it costs
One monthly price. No contract.
No per-lead fees and no tie-in. You stay because it's working.
- What changes the price
- Nothing. It's £495 a month. What changes is where the hours go: a city needs more pages and links than a market town.
- When it pays for itself
- Divide £495 by what a typical job leaves you after costs. That's how many extra jobs a month it takes. Use your own figures, not ours.
- How fast it works
- A neglected Google profile can move within weeks. New pages usually take a few months to settle.
- Only need one part?
- A Google Business Profile is £297 to set up or £247 to overhaul, then £147 a month if you want it kept fresh. A website is £600, or £50 a month.

One firm per trade, per area
We take one firm per trade in the town where they're based. It doesn't cover everywhere they're willing to travel. Your free review covers whether your town is free.
Is it right for you?
It works best for gardeners with room for more work.
SEO takes months rather than days, so it isn't right for everyone. If it's not right for you, we'd rather say so now.
A good fit
It's right for you if
- You can take on more gardener work, in the towns you want
- Your customers search Google for what you do, and their town
- You can give it a few months. SEO builds month on month
- You're happy to ask customers for a Google review after a job
Not the right time
It's not right for you if
- You need work in the diary this week. Ads are quicker, and we'll say so
- You're booked solid and can't take on more
- You want a guaranteed number one spot. Nobody controls Google, so our guarantee is on enquiries
- Your website is holding you back. Then a new website comes first
Your marketing options
Organic search, Google Ads or buying leads?
Ads and bought leads are quicker to start. SEO is slower, but the enquiries are yours alone, and the work doesn't vanish when you stop.
| Question | SEO with us | Google Ads | Bought leads |
|---|---|---|---|
| How fast it starts | Weeks for your profile, a few months for new pages | Days | Days |
| Who gets the enquiry | Just you | Just you | Often shared with other firms |
| How you pay | £495 a month, flat, no contract | Every click | Every lead. SolarSave pays £25 to £35 for an exclusive lead, £200 for a booked appointment |
| When you stop paying | Your pages and reviews stay, and rankings don't vanish that day | Enquiries stop that day | Enquiries stop that day |
| Best for | Steady work over the long term | Filling the diary this month | Covering short gaps |
Plenty of firms use both: ads for now, search for next year. Weighing up leads? Read solar leads: buy or build?

Questions
Questions gardeners ask before they start.
Something else on your mind? Ask us. You'll get a straight answer, usually the same day.
Ask us on WhatsAppHow is SEO for gardeners different from normal SEO?
Gardening is about distance. A customer three miles from your round is worth far more than one fifteen miles away. So the work focuses on your Google Business Profile, village pages and reviews in the areas you already cover, rather than chasing traffic from people you'd never drive to.
Our round is nearly full. Is SEO still worth it?
It can be, if you use it to pick better work. With more enquiries coming in, you can say yes to customers close to your existing round and drop the ones that take you out of your way. That tightens your days and lifts what you earn per hour.
Can you help us get more regular maintenance customers rather than one-offs?
Yes. We build your pages and profile around regular maintenance, explaining visits and what's included. One-off jobs like hedge cutting still have their place, because they often turn into regular customers. We'll show you each month which searches are bringing people in.
Do we need a website, or is a Google profile enough?
A profile alone can bring calls, but a simple website with service and area pages helps you show for more searches and makes the profile stronger. If you already have a site that works well on a phone, we'll work with it rather than start again.
How long before we see more enquiries?
Profile and review work can move your map visibility within the first couple of months. New pages usually take a few months to settle. Gardening is seasonal, so starting before spring helps. Google decides the order, so we won't promise positions, but we report what's moving every month.
What if SEO doesn't bring me enquiries?
We agree an enquiry total for your first 6 months in writing before we start. If we haven't hit it after 6 paid months in a row (£2,970), we work free until we do, for up to 6 more months. Then the free work ends, with no refund. See the 6 + 6 Guarantee.
Can you guarantee number one?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google. We promise proper work on the searches that bring work, and honest reporting. Our guarantee is on enquiries instead: see the 6 + 6 Guarantee.
Do I need a new website first?
Not usually. New pages and fixes can normally go on the site you have. If your site is holding you back, we'll tell you in your free review, and our websites start with a free homepage design.
