Independent Tree Service: Rooted in Expertise, Growing with Strategy

I met Rob and Vanessa with Intrigue at a trade show in my home state of Florida. They are great people and we simply clicked.

Our family business, Independent Tree Service, was established in Tampa, FL 47 years ago by my Dad. We partnered with Intrigue Media this past November 2024 to throw gasoline on an already hot burning fire ($4M annual). Intrigue created us a new website and had it live on the internet within a week!

Alex McBain is a pleasure to work with during our monthly check-in calls and provides valuable guidance regarding our online Google Ad spend. We are actually increasing our Google Ad spend as an experiment to see if we can make our office phone catch on fire with inbound calls.

To everyone at the Intrigue team — You folks are doing a great job for us, and it is fun working with you. Let’s keep it going!”

Expert Care, Consistent Leads, Year-Round Growth

Independent Tree Service is a trusted name in arboriculture, known for their expert tree care services, non-pressure sales approach, and a well-equipped, uniformed in-house team. While their business flourishes during peak hurricane season, they faced a challenge with lead generation during the slower months between November and February. They needed a solution to maintain consistent growth year-round and ensure they weren’t relying solely on seasonal peaks.

The Challenge They Faced

Independent Tree Service experienced seasonal fluctuations in lead generation, especially during the slower months from November to February. While their business thrived during the peak hurricane season, they struggled to maintain consistent growth during the off-season.

Additionally, their online visibility outside peak season was limited, which made it difficult to attract new leads year-round.

They also lacked a streamlined lead generation and conversion strategy, which impacted their ability to generate consistent, qualified leads and fully capitalize on their potential throughout the year.

With tailored strategies for sustained success, Independent Tree Service began to see the kind of consistent growth that aligned with their reputation.
