GuestApril 8, 2026 at 8:57 pmHow far along are you? Even having a homepage with basic info is better than nothing.
Otherwise, homepage + 1 page per unique service + contact us page.
You’ll want your phone number/lead form in a prominent spot.
Just as important is setting up map listings (listing your website), getting linked to from local business associations and social media.
It can take Google a few weeks to where you’re showing up for your own brand name + location/proximity. The more social proof you have out there, the faster it will be.
Pro-tip: Avoid stock photos/AI photos and boiler plate content. Use content that clearly states your value prompts and tie everything back to the municipality/region you’re targeting. Ex: If you’re a landscaper in Southern California talk about the unique challenges/benefits.
Take photos of projects and add them to social media and the website as time goes one. Get reviews for map listing and showcase them on the website.
