Ember is a landscaping marketing agency for growing owners. Whether you run mowing and maintenance routes, install irrigation or artificial turf, or build full backyards, we point local SEO, geo-targeted ads, and email at the jobs that make you the most money, and at the contracts that pay the crews in January.
Every landscaper knows the December math: crews you kept through summer, a phone that stopped ringing in October, and payroll that never takes a season off. The companies that survive that math sold maintenance agreements all year. The ones that thrive built marketing around it.
Design and install demand collapses in winter while payroll stays flat. We sell the maintenance base all year and queue design-season campaigns in February, before your competitors wake up.
For a design-build company the money is the $60,000 backyard. For a maintenance company it is ten yards on the same street. For an irrigation or turf installer it is the high-margin install with a referral attached. Most agencies run the same generic "landscaper" campaign for all three. We aim demand at whatever your money job is, and route everything else into contract offers.
Landscaping margin lives street by street. The $60K backyard is in a specific zip code. We target ads and build pages by neighborhood, not by metro.
Everything below gets aimed at your money jobs, whether that is a full backyard build, a turf or irrigation install, or another street of weekly routes.
Rank in the map pack for landscape design, installation, and maintenance searches in the cities you want. GBP rebuilt around your money services, with project photos doing the selling.
Campaigns queued before demand peaks: design-build and hardscape in spring, irrigation and turf when the dry months and rebates hit, geo-fenced to the neighborhoods with budgets.
Every install customer is a contract candidate. Offers, email flows, and follow-up that turn one-time projects into recurring monthly revenue.
A backyard build is a five-figure act of trust. Reviews requested after every project, answered within 48 hours, with photos wherever the platform allows.
Your past clients live next door to your next clients. Seasonal tips, project showcases, and referral asks aimed at the neighbors.
Pages built around how homeowners actually search: drought-tolerant conversion, artificial turf, irrigation repair, paver patios. Built out in 90 days, then optimized.
Route density is the whole game: ten lawns on one street beat thirty scattered across the county. We target the neighborhoods where you already roll trucks, and build the contract and HOA funnels that keep routes full year round.
Irrigation install and repair, artificial turf, drought-tolerant conversions. These are high-intent searches with real budgets behind them. We make sure they find you, not the general landscaper down the road.
Your work sells itself when the right people see it. We make sure they do, in the neighborhoods that can afford it.
The Bay Area pays people to change their yards: lawn-conversion rebates, drought-tolerant incentives, and water district programs are standing demand generators. We build campaigns around what East Bay homeowners are already being paid to do, from Lafayette to Oakland.
Design season here starts early: February inquiries become May installs. Our campaign calendar is built around that curve, so you are visible when the decision is being made, not after the yard is done.

Before design season, not during it. We queue design-build campaigns in February and maintenance pushes in fall. The campaign is always live before the demand peaks.
Yes, it is the core of the program: contract offers at project completion, seasonal email flows, and win-backs. Recurring revenue is what makes winter payroll boring.
Geo-targeted ads by zip and neighborhood, portfolio landing pages, and review profiles that survive the scrutiny a five-figure project gets.
Yes. Maintenance and mowing companies get route-density targeting and contract funnels. Irrigation and turf installers get high-intent search campaigns aimed at their install work. Design-build gets project-driven campaigns and portfolio SEO. The plan follows where your margin is.
