Their secret is a professional looking profile with a bio about their business and profile picture of their face.

Why does this matter?

On the other hand... Below... is an example of a good bio and profile that reassures your potential customers that they are dealing with a legit, professional local lawn business.

What's the bottom line? Take 15 mins and tell your potential customers about your lawn business to reassure them that they are hiring a professional.

These are just a few questions you can answer and talk about to create a killer bio about your lawn company...

  • Why did you get in the lawn business?

  • What neighborhoods do you service?

  • What kind of equipment do you have?

  • What different yard services do you offer?

  • What do you do differently than your competition?

Then... upload that bio to your profile... Here's how... Also while you are at it, make sure you have your best pictures uploaded.
