About the Client

About Greenscape Designs

Greenscape Designs is a premium outdoor landscaping and home services company serving Hamilton, Burlington, and surrounding communities. Their portfolio was strong, but their digital presence did not show the full range of garden design, lawn care, hardscaping, and outdoor living work they could deliver. Most leads came through referrals, leaving the company exposed during slower seasonal periods.

The Situation

What Greenscape Designs was up against

Before engaging Outlier, Greenscape Designs faced a combination of challenges that were actively suppressing their growth. Here's what we found.

01
01

Seasonal demand spikes with inconsistent lead flow

Search demand for landscaping services changed dramatically by season, but the existing campaigns did not adjust budgets, keywords, or landing pages around those shifts. The result was wasted spend during low-intent periods and missed opportunity during peak estimate windows.

02
02

Too many services competing on one generic page

Garden design, lawn care, hardscaping, and outdoor living services were all presented through the same generic website flow. Buyers searching for a specific project type had to work too hard to understand fit, pricing expectations, and next steps.

03
03

No conversion tracking or attribution

There was no reliable call tracking, form tracking, or campaign attribution. Greenscape could see enquiries coming in, but could not tell which keywords or pages were producing qualified outdoor project leads.

Our Approach

How we solved it — step by step

Every engagement is custom-built for the client's specific situation. No templates, no recycled playbooks. Here's exactly what we did for Greenscape Designs.

01
01

Seasonal Google Ads Restructure

We rebuilt the account around high-intent landscaping searches, separating garden design, lawn care, hardscaping, and outdoor living keywords. Budgets were adjusted by season and service margin so the highest-value work received priority during peak buying windows.

02
02

Service-Specific Landing Pages

We designed separate landing pages for core services, each with relevant project photography, service details, location targeting, and a simple estimate request flow. This made each click more relevant and improved lead quality.

03
03

Local SEO for Outdoor Services

We expanded local SEO coverage around service and city combinations, improved internal linking, and strengthened Google Business Profile content with project categories, service descriptions, and seasonal updates.

04
04

Estimate Tracking & Lead Quality Feedback

Call tracking and form tracking were connected to campaign reporting, allowing budget to move toward the keywords and pages producing serious estimate requests instead of low-value general enquiries.

"

"The biggest change was lead quality. We started getting estimate requests for the exact outdoor projects we wanted — patios, garden redesigns, and hardscaping work — instead of broad calls that went nowhere."
