Forge helps independent landscapers get more Google reviews, respond to new leads in under 30 seconds, and rank higher on Google Maps — without hiring a marketing agency.
We analyzed the Google profiles of 513 independent Texas contractors. Landscaping companies averaged 21.7 Google reviews at a 4.73 star rating. Industry guidance puts 40–75 reviews as the range associated with ranking well in competitive local search — so the typical independent landscaping business sits well below the bar.
Every trade we measured averaged between 4.58 and 4.91 stars, which means rating isn't what separates businesses in the local pack. Review volume is.
Landscaping is the most visual trade in home services and the most under-photographed. Meanwhile one-time cleanups don't compound — recurring maintenance clients do.
Spring demand arrives all at once and installation work stops in winter. Maintenance agreements are what smooth that out, and they're easiest to sell to customers who already trust you.
Plans start at $49/month with a 14-day free trial and no contract. If you have at least 30 past customers to contact, we guarantee 10 new Google reviews in your first 30 days — or you don't pay.
