How Small Landscaping Businesses Can Outrank Big Companies on Google Maps- MDL Episode 354

In this episode, Scott breaks down how small landscaping businesses can outrank national chains on Google Maps—without spending big on ads or hiring a marketing agency.

 

Spoiler alert: You already have a secret weapon the big brands can’t compete with.

Scott shares the 3 ranking factors Google actually uses to decide who shows up at the top—and how small, scrappy landscapers can win by leaning into what makes them local and trustworthy.

 

You’ll learn:

1. The #1 mistake landscapers make with their Google Business Profile

2. How to turn everyday jobsite photos into visibility boosters

3. Why your local reputation matters more than brand recognition

4. What “relevance” really means—and how to update your profile to match it

5. How to use reviews the right way to build trust and climb the ranks

 

Plus, Scott shares the overlooked reason some landscapers with fewer reviews are still beating the competition—and how you can do the same with a simple weekly routine.
