The Challenge
Redline Landscapes is a full-service lawn care and landscape management company local to Metro Atlanta. When they reached out to TrustWorkz for help improving their digital presence, they had a loyal base of local customers but weren’t attracting new prospects consistently. Their Wix website was lacking content and their rankings on important search engine results pages were not reaching page 1. They needed an experienced lawn care marketing team to help them get results.
The Solution
- TrustWorkz designed an SEO-rich, mobile-responsive website with navigation that focuses on UX (user experience) and customer conversions. We knew that building a site using WordPress would allow us to more effectively implement a long term SEO strategy.
- We developed seven pages of engaging, keyword-optimized content that educates customers, highlights Redline’s expertise, and signals site authority to Google.
- We developed a portfolio of images to show off Redline’s best work and made it easy for prospective clients to request a quote.
- Once their new site launched, our team began optimizing Redline Landscapes’ local directory listings to ensure customers can find consistent, up-to-date business information anywhere the company appears online.
- Our SEO team also began improving Google rankings and overall website authority with ongoing SEO work on redlinega.com, including but not limited to:
- Adding schema structured location data to the website
- Adding a list of service cities in the footer of the website with plans to expand each into its own page
- Creating description tags for all pages using the high-density keyword list
- Expanding website content with location pages, a FAQ page, and a Lawn Care Timeline
- In addition to regular on-site SEO, our team develops and optimizes monthly blog posts to educate customers and continue to improve the website’s keyword rankings on search engines.
- We provide secure website hosting and monitor WordPress updates to minimize site crashes or glitches due to malfunctioning plug-ins or site breaches.
- We analyze website analytics, send monthly reports, and provide recommendations to help Redline’s digital traffic and customer conversions continue to improve.
The Data
We’ve closely monitored Redline Landscape’s website data over the six months since their site relaunch in October 2019. Despite fluctuations due to coronavirus, their website traffic continues to trend upward.

The Way Forward
When Redline approached us to improve their search engine rankings and bring in new customers, we developed a long-term, SEO-focused approach that would position Redline Landscapes as a top local competitor for years to come. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, we’re taking a proactive approach to improve their short term sales. We are integrating a paid ads strategy into Redline’s digital footprint. By advertising on social media, we plan to bring them at least 60 new lawn care customers by the end of the summer.
