How Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads work together for landscaping companies

Landscaping has two businesses inside one: big design-build projects and recurring maintenance. Each channel does a different job. Facebook and Instagram start demand early with project photos, Google Search captures homeowners comparing quotes, and Local Services Ads, where available, add maintenance calls.

Google Search ads

Captures people searching for interlock, patios and lawn care in spring, with separate campaigns for projects and maintenance.

Local Services Ads

Pay-per-lead maintenance and lawn care calls in markets where the category is open.

Facebook & Instagram ads

Builds demand in January to March with project photos and early-booking offers, and retargets site visitors.

Everything else

YouTube project walk-throughs and a strong Google Business Profile with project photos support every other channel.

How landscaping customers choose a company

Design-build customers usually take weeks or months to decide. They see your work on Instagram or Facebook, check your Google reviews, visit your website several times and ask for two or three quotes. Maintenance customers decide in a day or two. A good plan supports both journeys: Meta to create demand for projects, Google Search to capture people ready to sign, and retargeting to stay visible while they compare.

Local Services Ads are not available for every landscaping service, so Google Search and Maps do most of the work at the bottom of the funnel. Reviews with photos of finished work are powerful here, and we encourage clients to ask every happy customer for one.

Meta builds demand

Project photos and videos create interest before people search.

Google closes

Search captures homeowners ready to request quotes.

Photo reviews

Reviews with project photos lift results on every channel.

Where customers see you

Your landscaping business on every platform

The same customer might see your Facebook ad in March, search Google in April and call from a Local Services Ad in May. Each placement has its own format.

Budget

How to split a landscaping marketing budget

Our suggested starting point for landscaping companies. After the first month, budget moves to whichever channel produces the cheapest booked jobs.

    Captures people searching for interlock, patios and lawn care in spring, with separate campaigns for projects and maintenance.

  • Local Services Ads 10%

    Pay-per-lead maintenance and lawn care calls in markets where the category is open.

  • Facebook & Instagram 35%

Suggested starting split, adjusted monthly once real cost-per-lead data comes in.

Tracking

What we track for landscaping companies

The same lead actions are tracked across Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Meta, so no channel gets credit for another’s work.
