  • How Small Landscaping Businesses Can Outrank Big Companies on Google Maps- MDL Episode 354
    Jun 6 2025

    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.

  • Why Google Reviews Aren’t Enough Anymore- MDL Episode 353
    May 30 2025

    In this episode, Scott breaks down one of the biggest myths in local marketing: that all you need to rank higher on Google is more 5-star reviews.

    Spoiler alert: It’s not true.

    Scott shares the results of recent tests run with real landscaping businesses—and reveals how some are outranking competitors with double (or triple!) the number of reviews by simply posting updates and photos consistently.

    You’ll learn:

    1. Why reviews alone won’t boost your Google ranking

    2. The posting strategy that sends the right “signals” to Google

    3. What types of photos and updates move the needle the most

    4. How to turn your job site into free SEO fuel

    5. The minimum number of reviews you do need before this works

    Plus, Scott explains how to set up a simple weekly routine that builds trust with Google and potential customers—without hiring an SEO agency or begging for reviews.
