About The Business
Ridgeline Landscaping is a 12-person, family-run outdoor design company with 15 years building high-end backyard renovations. Their work spoke for itself — but online, they were nearly invisible. New business came almost entirely from referrals and truck signage; a Google search for “landscaper” near their service area didn’t surface them at all, let alone an AI answer.
The Strategy
We ran our standard three-stage system. First, query targeting: instead of chasing broad terms like “landscaping,” we mapped the specific questions homeowners actually ask AI before hiring — “best backyard drainage solution for clay soil,” “how much does a retaining wall cost in [region].” Second, extractable content: we rebuilt their service pages into short, factual blocks built to be lifted directly into an AI answer, not buried in paragraphs. Third, authority building: we secured the citations and reviews that make AI trust a source enough to name it.
Techniques & Execution
Structured schema markup across every service page. A rebuilt Google Business Profile with category-specific service listings. FAQ blocks written to match real AI query patterns, not just SEO keywords. A review-generation system targeting the specific language AI models pull from (“best value,” “on time,” “cleaned up after themselves”). Monthly citation audits to catch and fix inconsistent business listings that were quietly hurting trust signals.
The Outcome
Within four months, Ridgeline started appearing in ChatGPT and Google AI Overview answers for regional landscaping queries — not just ranking, but being named as the recommendation. Organic traffic grew 92%, and revenue tied directly to online inquiries grew 68% over the same period. They now get inbound leads that already trust them before the first phone call.
“We used to be the best-kept secret in town. Now our name comes up before we even bid the job.”
