Google Is Changing. Here’s What That Means for Landscaping Companies

Google Is Changing. Here’s What That Means for Landscaping Companies

If your landscaping business depends on Google to bring in leads, calls, or quote requests, this matters.

At Intrigue, we help landscapers grow by making sure their marketing keeps up with how people search online. Right now, Google is shifting how search results work, how ads perform, and how your business shows up.

And it is already affecting companies that rely on online leads.

The good news is you do not need to overhaul everything. You just need to know what is changing and how to adjust.

Let’s walk through it.

Noticing a Drop in Google Ads Performance?

You are running ads. Maybe the same ones that used to bring in steady calls. But lately, things feel slower. Fewer clicks. Fewer leads.

It is not just you. Google has changed how ads are delivered and how people interact with them.

What could be happening:

  • Your ads are targeting too broad or too narrow an audience

  • Budget and keyword settings are not aligned

  • Competitors have updated their strategies

  • You are tracking the wrong data points

What we do:
We audit your campaign performance, identify the gaps, and adjust your setup so it works better with how Google operates today. And we do it without interrupting your lead flow.

When It’s Time to Rebuild Instead of Just Tweak

Sometimes ads only need a small adjustment. Other times, they are underperforming because the entire setup is no longer working.

Here are signs your account may need a full rebuild:

  • You are getting leads from areas you do not serve

  • Your keywords are bringing in the wrong type of clients

  • You are spending more without getting better results

  • You have tried optimizing, but performance still lags

What we do:
We always look to improve your existing structure first. But if that is not enough, we guide a phased rebuild to strengthen your results without disrupting your pipeline.

Not Sure What’s Actually Working Anymore?

Tracking used to be simple. Someone clicks an ad, fills out a form, and you get a lead.

Today? That same person might:

  • Click your ad

  • Search your business name later

  • Watch a YouTube video

  • Check your reviews

  • Call you a few days later

So what made the sale? Old tracking methods like last-click attribution no longer tell the full story.

What we do:
We implement smarter tracking systems that connect all your channels. This gives you a clearer picture of what is driving results so you can invest your budget with more confidence.

Google Is Becoming an Answer Engine, Not Just a Search Engine

One of the biggest changes right now is how Google shows results.

Instead of giving users a list of websites, it now offers AI-generated answers at the top of the page. People are getting information without needing to click.

If your content is not built to appear in those summaries, your visibility could drop—even if you still rank well.

What we do:
We update your content strategy so your business is positioned to show up in these AI-generated results. That includes writing in a format Google can read and share with users right inside the search page.

YouTube Is a Missed Opportunity for Most Landscapers

YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world. And it is a powerful way for homeowners to learn before they hire.

Right now, people are searching:

  • What should I ask before hiring a landscaper?
  • How much does landscaping cost?
  • Backyard ideas for small spaces

If your business is answering these questions in helpful videos, you are already ahead of most of your competition.

What we do: We help you create simple and useful videos that show up in both YouTube and Google search results. They build trust and bring in qualified leads.

What This Means for Your Landscaping Business

Google is changing fast.

The landscaping companies that adjust will keep growing. The ones that do not may see a slow drop in visibility, leads, and phone calls.

At Intrigue, we help landscapers:

  • Update their Google Ads accounts for better results

  • Show up in AI-generated search answers

  • Track where leads are actually coming from

  • Use video to build trust and expand reach

We know what is working—and we are here to help you stay ahead.

Want to Know What’s Working in Your Marketing Right Now?

Let’s talk.

We will take a quick look at your current setup, walk you through what has changed, and show you where there is opportunity to improve.

No pressure. Just real insight.
