The Challenge

GreenLeaf Landscaping was invisible online despite 15 years in business. They relied entirely on referrals and yellow pages, missing out on the 80% of customers who search online first.

The Solution

About GreenLeaf Landscaping

GreenLeaf Landscaping is a family-owned landscaping company serving the greater Philadelphia area since 2008. Owner Robert Thompson built the business on quality work and word-of-mouth referrals, but struggled to grow beyond a certain point.

The Challenge

Despite 15 years of excellent work, GreenLeaf was falling behind digitally-savvy competitors:

#

    #

    Missed Opportunities
