Where Oregon's landscaping and lawn care companies are
The largest concentrations of landscaping and lawn care companies in our Oregon data are in Portland, Salem, Hillsboro, Eugene, Beaverton, Medford, Grants Pass and Sherwood. Competition for the map pack is heaviest there, and so is the reward: the same review count that dominates a small town is invisible in Portland.
The map pack in Oregon
Google shows three businesses in the map pack for a search like "landscaping or lawn care company near me" in Portland. In Oregon the shops that hold those spots usually sit near the 90th percentile, 65 reviews, not the median. 6% of Oregon landscaping and lawn care companies have passed 100 reviews; the other 94.0% are competing for whatever is left below the fold.
The website gap in Oregon
A website is the clearest marker of a landscaping or lawn care company that is going to compete for the map pack, and 32.6% of landscaping and lawn care companies in Oregon do not have one linked. Across the country the median review count with a site is 13, without one 2. If your shop is in the 32.6%, start there.
What to do first in Oregon
- Put up a real website if you are in the 32.6% without one. Service pages, city pages for Portland, Salem, Hillsboro, tap-to-call on every screen.
- Set a review velocity. One review per job day, asked at the door, moves a 8-review shop past the Oregon 75th percentile (26) within a year. The guides have the scripts.
- Finish the Google profile: primary category, every service you offer, real job photos, and hours that match reality. It is free and it is where Oregon customers decide.
- Follow up every lead within five minutes. Speed to lead beats ad spend in a trade where the customer is collecting three quotes. The calculator shows what slow replies cost.
- Then, and only then, spend on ads. Pointed at a profile with 8 reviews and no website, ads pay for your competitor's education. Pointed at a finished profile, they work.
