Cleaning and landscaping companies win work three ways: referral, a truck somebody saw, and a local search. The first two you already have. The third needs a website that says what you do and where you do it, a quote form that actually reaches you, and something that tells you whether you appear when a homeowner two towns over searches. LiberationTek packages that from about $23 a month — a drag-and-drop website at $10.99 with hosting and SSL included, a mailbox on your own domain at $1.95, and an SEO tool at $9.99 that tracks your rankings and up to two competitors.
One page that says “serving the greater metro area” ranks for nothing. A page for each town or county you actually cover, with real detail about the work you do there, is how a service business becomes findable. The site builder makes adding one a ten-minute job rather than a developer ticket.
Most lost enquiries are lost in the plumbing: a form that mails to an address nobody checks, or that lands in spam because the domain was never configured. We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your own mail is trusted, and the form goes to a mailbox on your domain that somebody owns.
Before and after beats a stock photo of a lawn every time, and it is the cheapest marketing you own. A gallery your crew can add to from a phone means it stays current. Nobody needs to call a web company to upload nine pictures.
Seasonality matters here in a way it does not for most businesses. A landscaping company should be building next spring’s search position in January, because the rankings you want in April are earned months before anyone searches.
This is a low-ticket, high-volume trade and the tooling should match. No agency retainer, no annual contract, no setup fee — just the four pieces a service company actually needs, at prices printed on the product pages.
The home-services marketplaces work, in the sense that leads arrive. They also sell the same lead to three of your competitors, charge you whether the job closes or not, and own the relationship afterwards. The homeowner thinks they hired the platform. Next spring they go back to the platform rather than to you.
A website and an email list are the opposite arrangement. The enquiry comes to you first, the customer’s address is yours, and a seasonal reminder to last year’s customers costs $10 a month through Liberation Campaign rather than a fee per lead. Most crews we talk to are not trying to leave the platforms — they are trying to stop being 100% dependent on them.
Website, email, giving records and media move on a schedule built around your service times. Nothing cuts over mid-week without a tested rollback, and giving keeps running throughout — we do not take a church offline on a Saturday night.
Staff and volunteers get walked through the new setup, with written guides for the people who update the site each week. Support afterwards is a phone call to a named contact, not a ticket queue — which matters when something breaks an hour before a service.
Cleaning and landscaping are repeat-purchase businesses with a seasonal rhythm. That combination is exactly what email is good at, and almost nobody in the trade does it.
Website, mailbox and SEO tool: about $23 a month. That is $10.99 for the site builder Starter plan, $1.95 for one mailbox on your own domain, and $9.99 for the SEO tool Lite plan. Add $10 a month for email marketing at 10,000 sends and you are near $33. If you already have a website you are happy with, drop the builder and shared hosting starts at $7.99 a month instead.
A two-crew company with three mailboxes lands at about $27 a month: $10.99 for the site, $5.85 for three mailboxes and $9.99 for the SEO tool. If you want service-area pages for a dozen towns, the Ramping Up builder plan at $14.99 a month gives you more room. Nothing here needs a VPS — a service company website is not the kind of site that needs reserved hardware, and we will not sell you one.
Our prices are published on the product pages rather than quoted on a call. We will also be straight about renewals: shared hosting renews at $12.99 a month after the first term, and the site builder and SEO plans are month to month. Nobody has to ring us to find out what they are paying next year. If you want somebody to do the local search work rather than run the tool yourself, our local SEO services are quoted on the work, and we will tell you if the tool alone is enough.

From $10.99 a month with Liberation Site Builder, which includes hosting, a free SSL certificate and a free domain on annual plans. With a mailbox on your own domain at $1.95 and the SEO tool at $9.99, the whole setup is about $23 a month. There is no setup fee and migration is free.
For every town you genuinely work in and want to be found in, yes — that is how local search works. What you should not do is spin up forty near-identical pages for towns you have never had a job in; search engines treat that as doorway pages and it can hurt you. Write a real page for each area you actually serve, with the specific work you do there.
Yes. The builder works in a browser, so adding before-and-after photos or changing your service list does not need a developer or a desktop. That is the main reason we point small service companies at the builder rather than a custom build — a site nobody can update goes stale in six months.
That is your call and plenty of good companies do. Our view is that being 100% dependent on a channel that sells the same lead to your competitors and owns the customer afterwards is a risk worth reducing. A website and an email list cost about $23 a month and give you a channel nobody can reprice on you.
We can. Our development team quotes build work separately, and if you outgrow the builder they take the site over rather than making you start again. For most one or two-crew companies the builder plus a couple of hours of help is the honest recommendation.
Local search moves in months, not weeks, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. The tool reports weekly so you can see movement, but the realistic horizon for a new site ranking in a competitive suburb is a season. This is why we tell landscaping companies to start in January for April.
Yes. The hardware is owned and operated by us in the United States, and your site, your mailboxes and your customer list sit on it. Support is US-based and available 24/7.
Tell us which towns you cover, what your website is today and where your enquiries come from now. We will tell you what we would change, what it costs at published prices, and whether the website or the local search work should come first.
