Tree service marketing across the US
Christian Olson gives tree service companies one marketing system for $997 a month per location: Google Maps ranking, your Google profile and reviews, a website that books, your phone answered and texted back while you're up a tree, one lead list, paid ads and social media.
You sign no contract, pay no setup fee and never share a lead with another crew. Everything is live within 7 days of your approval, or you get your money back.

What tree service owners say about lead sellersFive complaints arborists and tree crews post on Reddit's r/arborists and r/sweatystartup, and how tree service marketing should answer each one.
-
Lead sellers who spam homeowners, then sell you the replies
What arborists say"It's just companies that spam everyone and then sell the leads to arborists. Feels like leeches just sucking blood out of the system?"An arborist on r/arborists, about tree lead companies
How the plan answers itNobody cold-texts homeowners in your name, and nobody sells you a reply. Homeowners find your tree service on Google on their own, and they call you directly.
-
One lead sent to three tree services to fight over
What arborists say"Angi charges around that price but sends the lead to 3 companies to fight over."A tree service owner on r/arborists, March 2025
How the plan answers itThe plan sells you no leads at all. Your lead list holds only the calls, texts and forms that reach your own Google profile, website and ads, and no other crew sees them.
-
A price per lead that depends on how long you commit
What arborists say"They're offering them between $50-75 each, depending on how long I commit for."A tree service owner on r/arborists, asking about buying leads, March 2025
How the plan answers itYou pay one flat $997 a month for the whole system, never a price per lead. There's no contract and no setup fee, so the most you can ever risk is one month.
-
Storm-time texts that put a middleman between you and the homeowner
What arborists say"Someone tech savvy using AI to mass text all residences in a local area whenever an environmental disaster/storm occurs. When they receive a response, they call the local tree crew to go estimate."A tree climber on r/arborists
How the plan answers itHomeowners with tree work search Google, so the plan puts your tree service on the map where they look. They reach your number, your website and your reviews, with no middleman to pay.
-
Calls that ring out while you're up in the tree
What tree crews say"I can't pick up my phone while I'm 75 feet up in a tree wielding a chainsaw."A tree climber on r/sweatystartup, November 2024
How the plan answers itAn AI receptionist picks up while you're climbing. It writes down the homeowner's name, address and the tree they want gone, sends them a text back, and can book the estimate.
Tree service marketing questions, answered first
Are the leads exclusive, or am I competing with other tree services?
They're yours alone.Christian Olson doesn't sell leads. Every call, text and form on your lead list comes from your own Google profile, website and ads, so no other tree service sees it or pays for it.
Am I locked into a contract?
No contract.Christian Olson charges $997 a month per location and per trade, with no setup fee. You can cancel in any month, so the most you can ever risk is one month.
How do I get tree service leads without buying them?
Get found by the homeowners already searching.People look up tree removal or a tree service near them on Google and call from the map. Christian Olson sets up all seven pieces of the plan, from Google Maps ranking to your phone answered, so those searches reach your tree service and not a lead seller.
What Google Business Profile category should a tree service use?
Tree service, as the main category.Arborist service is also a real Google category, and stump grinding service is a common second one. Christian Olson sets your main and second categories to match the tree work you actually sell.

The seven pieces, set up for a tree serviceEach one is set up around how homeowners pick someone to take a tree down. I run all seven together as one system.
-
Google Maps ranking, and showing up in AI answers
Google Maps SEO runs on your profile and your site every month, aimed at what homeowners type when a tree has to go: "tree removal", "tree trimming", "stump grinding" and "tree service near me", with your town. The same work helps get your tree service named when someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI answers who to call.
I won't promise a ranking, because nobody honest can. My 9 years of experience and a full set of tools put the odds well in your favor, and you see your map rank in every monthly report. More on Google Maps ranking
-
Your Google Business Profile and reviews
Your profile gets Tree service as its main category, with Arborist service or Stump grinding service added where you do that work. It lists your services, service area and hours, with photos of finished jobs. Review requests go out after each job, so happy customers leave the reviews they mean to.
Homeowners have read the stories: a limb dropped on a house, a crew that said it was insured and wasn't, logs left on the lawn. A profile at a real local address, with neighbors' reviews about clean yards and finished stumps, answers those worries before the call. If your listing is service-area only, I help you move it to a real address.
-
A tree service website that books
A fast site with a page for each kind of tree work you sell, from removals and trimming to stump grinding, plus the towns you cover and your proof of insurance. Your number and a book button sit on every page, and every form lands on your lead list.
-
Your phone, answered and texted back
An AI receptionist answers the calls you can't take while you're climbing or running a saw. It takes the homeowner's name, address and which tree they want gone, texts them back, and can book the estimate. Missed-call text back catches anyone who hangs up before it answers. More on missed-call text back
-
One lead list for every call, text and form
Every quote request lands in one list, with the tree, the address and where the homeowner found you. Leads that go quiet get a follow-up, and the list works alongside the software you already use to run your tree service.
-
Paid ads, sent to a page built to book
Ads put your tree service in front of homeowners in your service area who are searching for tree removal or trimming right now. In winter, when most tree work slows, ads can be aimed at dormant pruning. Every click lands on an ad landing page with your number and a book button, and every call from an ad lands on your lead list.
-
Social media that shows your finished jobs
Your social media pages get posts of your finished work: the tree down, the stump ground out and the yard raked clean, plus a social hub page for your business. A homeowner who looks you up sees last week's removal, not a post from two years ago.
You'll work with me, and I run trade businesses too
I'm Christian Olson. I've helped local businesses get found on Google for 9 years, working from Clinton, Arkansas.
I own a pressure washing business, a handyman business and a painting business. When my hands are full on a job, a call that rings out is a job someone else books, so I set up the phone side first.
I set up tree services across the US myself, with no account manager in the middle. When you need something, you text me, and I'm the one who answers.

I run a tree service and a landscaping company. Do I need two plans?
Yes, one plan per trade.Google treats each trade as its own business, so Christian Olson sets up your tree service and your landscaping company as two plans at $997 a month each. Start with the one that pays you most.
