Generic agencies don’t understand tree services
Most marketing agencies treat tree services like dentists or law firms. They don’t know that “emergency tree removal” has 10x higher intent than “tree trimming estimate” or that storm season requires different messaging than spring cleanup.
Seasonality requires expert planning
Tree service advertising must adapt to seasons – storm damage marketing in hurricane season, spring cleanup campaigns, winter ice storm response. Generic agencies don’t understand these patterns.
Local competition is intense
Every market has 20-50 tree service companies. You need local tree service marketing that dominates your service area – Map Pack optimization, location-based content, and geo-targeted ads.
Lead quality varies dramatically
Not all tree service leads are equal. Emergency removals book at $2,000-5,000. Free estimates for trimming might be $300. We optimize for high-value jobs, not just lead volume.
We’ve worked with 150+ tree removal companies, arborists, and tree care businesses. We know:
Generic marketing agencies are guessing. We know because we’ve done it 150+ times.
Unlike agencies that waste 6 months on “strategy,” we launch fast and deliver leads immediately:
We analyze your market, show you what competitors are doing, and identify which channels will generate the most tree service leads for your company. We show you the exact strategy – with projected results – before you spend a dollar.
No sales pitch. Just proof of what’s working in your market for tree services.
Most clients get their first lead within 2-3 days. We start with your fastest channel (usually LSA or Facebook), build landing pages, create ads, and launch campaigns immediately.
Your last agency made you wait months. We deliver tree service leads this week.
Once one channel is generating leads profitably, we add more. This creates redundancy so you’re never dependent on one platform. If Facebook ad costs spike during storm season, Google and LSA keep leads flowing.
Most tree service companies using our system have 3-4 active channels by Month 2.
Weekly performance reviews. Real-time lead notifications. If something’s not working by Week 3, we adjust immediately. No waiting months for “the algorithm to optimize.”
You get a dedicated account manager who knows tree service businesses – not a junior rep learning on your dime.
Our Guarantee: 30+ tree service leads in the first 30 days or we work for free until you hit our target. No contracts. Cancel anytime.
Tree service advertising requires specialized knowledge:
Seasonal patterns:
Search intent varies dramatically:
Visual proof matters:
Geographic targeting is critical:
We’ve spent $5M+ on tree service marketing. We know what works.
Most tree service companies who tried Facebook ads made these mistakes:
Wrong creative:
Wrong targeting:
Wrong landing page:
Quit too soon:
Couldn’t track calls:
We’ve tested 1,000+ Facebook ad variations for tree services. We know exactly what works.
Most clients get their first lead within 48-72 hours.
Timeline by channel:
We ALWAYS start with fast channels (LSA or Facebook) so you see results immediately, then layer in longer-term channels for sustained growth.
Yes. We work with tree service companies ranging from 1 crew ($500K/year) to 15+ crews ($10M+/year).
Our Starter Package is designed for smaller companies looking to scale from 1-2 crews to 3-5 crews.
If you’re doing $500K+/year and want to grow, we can help.
Depends on your package and market size:
All leads are exclusive (not shared with competitors).
If you’re in a major metro like Houston, Phoenix, or Dallas, expect the higher end of these ranges.
We provide local tree service marketing in 50+ markets nationwide including:
Houston, Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville, Austin, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, Sacramento, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Indianapolis, Columbus, Raleigh, and more.

We’re the only tree service marketing agency that does this because we’re confident in our results.
