Lawn care customers are the life blood of your lawn and landscaping service. Without fresh customers, your growth stops. So where do most customers who are trying to find you tend to look first?
Just like you, they look on the internet. So Where are investing your lawn care advertising dollars?
In 2010, “yellow phone books” are couch levelers. Customers search with their phones online when they remember “I need to find a new dog groomer” or “Darn, I just remembered that the pool screen needs repair”. Phone books? TV antennas? Pay phones? You get the idea. Everybody is now online. Ten years ago your Grandma thought the internet was the devil. Now she buys knitting supplies online with her PayPal account. There is no going back to the ‘90s. And the competition is getting more fierce every day. Wired Magazine stated that “nine blogs are created every minute and 2.3 content updates are posted every second.” That’s just blogs, not all websites!

Darna wanted to know “How do you get a brand new website noticed by the search engines. Are those paid “we submit your site to all the search engines” submissions worth it?”
Submit to search engines? NEVER! Even though estimates range around only 50% of new sites get indexed(another way of saying found) It is not that difficult to get indexed.
There are lots of different ways. Forum posting, article submissions, blog commenting, etc. However, this is the best and easiest way. Submit an RSS feed of your site to the feed aggregation sites. This will bring the “bot spiders” screaming to your site like gargoyles from a horror movie.
So you may ask yourself, how do get one of these RSS thingies, and then what? It’s super easy Grasshopper
1. Assuming that you have a “normal” HTML site versus a blog, go to FeedAge.com. You will have to register, but its free.
2. Click on “HTML 2 RSS” link (like the photo).
3. Type your website address into the bar and click the “Create RSS” button. You will get a page like the photo below (CLICK CONTINUE READING)
