Local SEO for garden designers
SEO for garden designers, so the people nearby find you.
Local search is mostly groundwork. Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and that other people vouch for you. Your site also has to be fast enough to be worth ranking.
For garden designers
What it means in your trade.
Clients search for garden designer, garden design, landscape designer, planting design and small garden design, often with a town or area. The groundwork is a page for each service you offer, project pages that name the area and describe the brief, a Google Business Profile in the garden designer category with portfolio photos, and reviews that talk about the process as well as the result.

Design is a considered, occasional purchase, so search groundwork works slowly and sits alongside referrals and social media. It makes sure that when someone searches your name or your service locally, they find a site that matches the quality of the work.
What is included
Exactly what you get.
Technical foundations: speed, mobile, crawlable structure, proper headings
Schema markup so your services, area and reviews are machine-readable
Google Business Profile set up and matched to the site
Pages for the places you actually cover
Titles and descriptions written for the person searching
Not included: paid links, ranking promises or impression-count reports. We report on enquiries.
Built for garden designers
Made for your trade.
Every trade asks something different of its website. For a garden designer, these are the parts built in.
- Project pages that pair the drawn plan with the finished garden and a short account of the brief.
- A process page running from first consultation to handover, with what the client receives at each stage.
- A fees section that explains how consultations and design work are charged, in whatever terms you choose to publish.
- An enquiry form that asks about the garden, the brief, a budget band and when the client hopes to build.
- Portfolio images compressed and sized properly so the site stays quick on a phone.
- A section on the landscapers you work with and how the build is handed over or overseen.
What it costs
Included in the rebuild.
There is no separate SEO invoice. The groundwork is part of the £1,400 rebuild, one-off, in about 14 working days.
The free Growth Audit comes first either way, so you find out what is actually wrong before you spend anything.

Questions
The ones that come up.
How long before SEO does anything?
The technical work lands immediately; rankings move over weeks to months. Be wary of any promise of page one within a month.
Do you do SEO as a monthly retainer?
The groundwork is part of the rebuild. Ongoing care at £149 a month keeps it maintained. There is no separate SEO retainer.
My gardens take years to mature. How do I show that?
Return to gardens you designed and photograph them a year or two after planting, then again later. Show the stages on the same project page with dates. Clients understand that planting grows, but seeing it happen on your own projects is more persuasive than a single perfect summer photograph.
Do I need a separate website if I also run a build service?
One site works, with separate routes through it: one for clients who want a design to take to their own builder, and one for those who want you to handle everything. Each gets its own explanation and form, so nobody has to work out for themselves which service they need.
Should I publish articles about planting and design?
A few well-chosen ones help, if they reflect how you think. Pieces on designing for shade, planting on clay or choosing trees for a small garden show your knowledge and give people something to find when they are researching. Keep them few and good.
