As a landscaper or pool builder, this means having a professional website, social media profiles, and online reviews. Make sure your website is easy to navigate, showcases your work, and includes clear calls to action that encourage potential clients to get in touch. Use social media to share photos and updates on your projects, and encourage satisfied clients to leave positive reviews. If you don't have the time or have these set up, we'd highly recommend investing in someone to support you with this.

Offer unique services or packages:
To stand out from the competition, have you ever considered offering unique services or packages that other landscapers or pool builders don't offer? This could be something like an eco-friendly landscaping package, or a pool design that incorporates unique features or eco friendly solutions. By offering something unique and compelling, you'll attract clients who are looking for something special and different. Ultimately if you continue doing the same thing, you'll get the same result or worse, so give things a try and gather feedback on what works and draws in customers.

Referrals are one of the most powerful ways to win new clients. To build a strong referral network, focus on building strong relationships with other professionals in related fields, such as real estate agents, architects, and contractors. Offer incentives for referrals, such as a discount on services or a gift card, and make sure you're always delivering high-quality work that will inspire your clients to refer you to their friends and family.
