Want Emergency Tree Work from Future Storms?

For those tree service companies interested in intercepting tropical storms, hurricanes and other wind/ice events for emergency tree service work, we can help. My company, MarketingDirector.com Agency can create a strong and effective digital presence for your business up to a 60 mile radius from your operations center. It enables your business to be the at the top of people's 'shopping list' for storm damage recovery and tree removals across a giant swathe of territory. You will own all the emergency tree removal leads and emergency tree service leads from this new digital asset. It won't work for this hurricane though and takes time to set up properly.

How It Works

Google's Pigeon algorithm update introduced July 2014 only allows your business to rank in its search engine in a relatively small geographic area. So even if you rank #1 in the search engines for tree trimming and/or tree removal in a major city, you might still be wondering when the phone will ring next. This problem is exacerbated if you want a strong presence whenever a storm passes through but your website's footprint misses the storm's path of carnage and destruction. Our solution creates unique content in nearby cities and communities and ranks it high in Google. It gives you a much bigger geographical reach for your business, attracts calls from a wider area and in greater volume. This is because the chance of a storm passing through your enlarged service area is much increased. We will work with your existing website or create a new one.

The same principle can be used to boost live calls for regular tree work.
