Keywords for lawn care, sorted by deck width

Below is the phrase list that every page here is cut from: the keywords for lawn care people type when they want a crew at the curb, sorted into four deck widths. It closes with the errands we keep out of every ad account and every page plan.

Where the phrase list was cut from

How the pull was made, and what got mown off

The pull holds 673 real phrases, gathered from four starting searches: two about hiring a mowing crew and two about what people spread on a lawn. Much of it is another errand entirely: franchise names, do-it-yourself questions, sign-in pages, machine repair, job hunts and a trailing scatter of town names. Only two of those families show an example below. As this site is marketing and nothing more, no company, no product and no what-to-put-on-a-lawn wording is printed in the tables.

No raw counts appear; each phrase wears a deck width instead. A Wide deck phrase draws one hundred thousand searches monthly or beyond, a Standard deck phrase twenty thousand or beyond, a Trim pass phrase three thousand or beyond, and an Edge strip phrase falls short of that. The width measures the size of a crowd, not the calls a crew will get.

Five kinds of typist, and the page each one lands on

Every row sets one real search next to the page that ought to be waiting for it.

Crew-finding searches, by deck width

Word-order twins get separate rows because each one is typed separately, yet a single page can answer them all.

How a town finds its way into the search

Plenty of phrases in the pull carry a town name, but the owner's route decides the town pages, not the tail of that list.
Way a town gets worked into the phraseSample from the pullWhere the crew files it
Typed as the pair near melawn care near meA Maps listing entry, then one self-contained page for each route town
Typed as the lone word locallocal lawn careTown and county pages with wording for the area
Typed as the phrase in my arealawn care in my areaService-area wording on the home page

Errands we refuse to buy clicks for

Some corners of the pull are not people hiring anyone. Each group below becomes a negative keyword list in the ad accounts and is kept away from the page plans. Phrases from those groups are left unprinted apart from two examples, since naming a company or a product is not the job of this page.

Searches turned away before any ad runs

Deck width shows how much of that crowd an account would soak up with no negative keywords in place.

Questions about the phrase list

Why is no company name printed on this page?

A search that names one firm is meant for that firm, so a different crew cannot answer it, and a click bought on it is wasted. Names stay unprinted as well, since this site speaks for a marketing business and never for any one company.

Why do the tables name no product at all?

Each owner chooses the jobs the company offers, so the tables name none apart from mowing. The owner picks which jobs get pages and has to approve each page first.

How do I read a deck width?

It sizes the crowd behind a phrase, nothing more. It carries no promise about calls and says nothing about who contacts a crew.

Will this phrase list stay as it is?

No. This is a single snapshot; every time pages are planned the phrases get a fresh look, and the owner is shown what moved.

Tell us which towns the route runs through

Send over your service sheet along with your list of towns, and the opening pages are planned around those words.

Which stops on the route get pages first?

List the jobs on your service sheet, the towns along the route, and any neighborhood groups that might point people to you. Leave customer names and house numbers out of the note.

Tell us about the company, its jobs and its route

Tell us which jobs should ring the phone more, which towns the route runs through and which groups around town know the crew. Keep it to a few lines and leave customer details out; whoever opens your note will answer it directly.

Pick a Monday-to-Friday day and a thirty-minute slot. As that slot begins, the number typed above is rung, and the voice on the line is our CEO, Ross Cohen.

Choose a window for the phone call

The window you choose will be repeated in this space.

Windows are weekday half hours, and each one is written out in the clock you select.

Make the last pass a phone call

Set up a call, and together we will mark out the opening stripes: which service is mown first, which town comes next, and which plan holds the whole plot.
