Where Colorado's landscaping and lawn care companies are
The largest concentrations of landscaping and lawn care companies in our Colorado data are in Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Aurora, Loveland, Grand Junction, Littleton and Lakewood. Competition for the map pack is heaviest there, and so is the reward: the same review count that dominates a small town is invisible in Colorado Springs.
The map pack in Colorado
In Colorado, 50% of landscaping and lawn care companies have fewer than ten reviews. That is the good news if you have twenty: most of your local competitors are not trying. The bad news is that the three shops in the map pack for Denver searches are not in that group. They are near 178 reviews and they ask every customer.
The website gap in Colorado
A website is the clearest marker of a landscaping or lawn care company that is going to compete for the map pack, and 32.8% of landscaping and lawn care companies in Colorado do not have one linked. Across the country the median review count with a site is 13, without one 2. If your shop is in the 32.8%, start there.
What to do first in Colorado
- Put up a real website if you are in the 32.8% without one. Service pages, city pages for Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, tap-to-call on every screen.
- Set a review velocity. One review per job day, asked at the door, moves a 9.5-review shop past the Colorado 75th percentile (45) within a year. The guides have the scripts.
- Finish the Google profile: primary category, every service you offer, real job photos, and hours that match reality. It is free and it is where Colorado customers decide.
- Follow up every lead within five minutes. Speed to lead beats ad spend in a trade where the customer is collecting three quotes. The calculator shows what slow replies cost.
- Then, and only then, spend on ads. Pointed at a profile with 9.5 reviews and no website, ads pay for your competitor's education. Pointed at a finished profile, they work.
