Be the tree service thestorm search finds
I build your site during the 14-day trial, keep your Google Business Profile accurate, and text back every call you can't answer. When wind takes down a Waukesha County oak or another ash finally gives out, the homeowner's search should find you, not whoever beat you to the first answer.
Card on file, nothing charged until day 15. Your 14 days start the day the site goes live, so setup time never eats your trial.
- Who shows up first when a neighbor searches for what you do.Google's answer and the AI answer, with names. Whether one of them is you.
- Where you lose them.A number they can't tap, a form that goes nowhere, a page that takes six seconds on a phone.
- What to fix first.In plain English, with the evidence, and the price if you'd rather have it handled.
Tuesday night, July. Straight-line winds move through Waukesha County.
This happens to tree services every week. Not because the work is bad. Because your climbers are on a removal and nobody is at the phone.
- 9:04pmA 60-foot silver maple splits in a Hartland backyard and lands across the driveway, pinning a car underneath.
- 9:11pmThe homeowner stands in her garage with a flashlight and searches "tree removal near me" on her phone.
- 9:14pmShe calls a number off a truck she's seen around town. It rings through. The owner is already on his third call of the night.
- 9:19pmShe texts the same number: "Tree on my car, can anyone come tonight." No reply comes back.
- 9:31pmThe next name in her results answers by text in under a minute and says a crew can be there in the hour.
- 7:40amThat crew is already running a chainsaw in her driveway when the first owner calls her back on his way to another job.
Where the calls go.
Three places tree services lose work they already earned.
Storm nights make forty calls in two hours
Wind comes through and your phone won't stop, but you're up a tree or already on a call. Every ring that goes to voicemail is a homeowner who searches again and finds someone else.
Your best proof lives in a truck, not online
The jobs you've done and the trucks people see around Lake Country don't show up when someone searches at midnight. A homeowner comparing companies on her phone can't find what she can't see.
Nobody can see your insurance or your ISA card
A homeowner letting a crew drop a 60-foot tree near her house wants to see proof of insurance and certification before she calls, not after. If that isn't on your site, she moves to the next name.
A site for a tree service owner, page by page.
Built on your own domain, on accounts you own. The $2,500 implementation is waived through Oct 21. Run keeps it up for $97 a month if you ever drop the growth system.
| Page | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Home | Removal, trimming, storm cleanup, and stump grinding named plainly, with your phone number and service area in the first screen. |
| Storm & Emergency Response | The page that answers "are you open tonight," with the text-back number and what counties you cover. |
| Services | Removal, trimming, storm cleanup, and stump grinding each get a real answer to what it costs and how it works, not one paragraph for all four. |
| Insurance & Certifications | Your ISA certification and proof of liability and workers comp insurance, the two things a homeowner actually checks before she calls. |
| Service Area | Delafield, Oconomowoc, Pewaukee, Hartland, Waukesha, named by town, so the search that includes a town name finds you. |
| Reviews | Real names, real jobs, pulled in automatically so the page never goes stale between storms. |
| Get an Estimate | A short form that gets an instant reply, day or night, instead of a contact page that goes quiet until Monday. |
| Before & After Gallery | Photos of finished removals and stump grinds, the proof a homeowner wants before she lets a crew near her yard. |
Running from day 10.
Missed-call text-back
You're up a tree or running a saw and can't grab the phone. The caller gets an instant text back with your name on it instead of dead air, so she doesn't dial the next company while she waits.
Instant form reply
A homeowner submits a quote request at 10pm for a leaning ash tree. She gets a reply in seconds confirming it landed, so she stops looking instead of moving to the next open tab.
Review requests
The day after a removal or cleanup, the homeowner gets a text asking for a review. You don't have to remember to ask, and your review count keeps climbing between storms.
Google Business Profile
Hours, service area, and photos stay accurate every month, so when someone searches "tree removal near me" at 11pm, your profile shows you're open and answering.
What Grow adds, $297/mo
- Lead qualification and scheduling, so a call about a dead ash turns into a booked job, not a note you get to Thursday.
- Quote follow-up, so a $2,000 storm cleanup doesn't go cold in someone else's inbox while she waits to hear back.
- The review engine, requests and replies, so a rough stump grind gets an answer instead of sitting there unanswered for a month.
- One new local page a month, Facebook ad templates loaded, and a plain-numbers report so you know what's working.

Day 0
Start the trial. Card on file, nothing charged. I call within one business day to get your logo, your services, and your towns.

Go-live
The site and the lead system switch on together. Your 14 days start here, not at signup, so you get 14 days of the thing actually working.
Day 15 live
First charge, or cancel from your account with no call. Only want the site kept up? Step down to Run.
The tree service calendar.
- Storm season, April through September
- Straight-line winds and hail put limbs and whole trees down across Lake Country with almost no warning. Calls spike in the first two hours after a storm, and your site has to answer while you're still clearing the last one.
- Winter ice storms
- Ice loading snaps limbs that survived every summer storm, usually overnight, usually on a night you weren't planning to work. Missed-call text-back matters most exactly when you're least likely to pick up.
- Ash removal, year round
- Emerald ash borer has already killed most of the ash trees in southeast Wisconsin, and the ones still standing are dying on their own schedule, not yours. That's steady removal work that doesn't wait for a storm.
- Dormant pruning window, late fall through late winter
- The safest stretch to prune, with pests and disease less active, is also when homeowners forget you exist. A site and profile that stay current keep the phone ringing in the slow months too.

Questions tree services ask.
Most of my work is word of mouth and storm calls. Does a website even matter?
- A referral still gets a look-up before it turns into a call. When a neighbor gives out your name, or she sees your truck outside a job down the street, she checks your reviews and your site before she dials. After a storm the same thing happens faster: she's Googling while she's still standing in the yard.
What does this cost?
- Run is $97 a month and covers the site: hosting, maintenance, your lead inbox, and small edits. Grow is $297 a month and adds missed-call text-back, instant form replies, review requests, lead qualification and scheduling, quote follow-up, a monthly local page, and a plain-numbers report. Both start with a 14-day free trial, card on file, first charge on day 15, cancel anytime.
I already have a Facebook page. Isn't that enough?
- Facebook doesn't answer what a stump grind costs, doesn't show your ISA certification or insurance where a homeowner is looking for it, and doesn't text someone back at 2am when a limb is on their garage. A site built for those questions, paired with a Google profile that's kept accurate, is what shows up when someone actually searches.
Do you handle permits or deal with my insurance for a job?
- No, that's between you and the homeowner or the city. What the site does is put your insurance and certification where she can see them before she calls, which is what most homeowners check first anyway.
Will this actually help on a night I'm already slammed with calls?
- That's the point of missed-call text-back. When you can't answer because you're running a saw or already on another call, the site texts the caller back immediately so she isn't left wondering and doesn't dial the next name while she waits.
Do I own the site if I stop paying?
- You can cancel anytime from your account, month to month. Want the site kept up without the growth system? Run is $97 a month. Nothing locks you in, and your domain and Google profile stay in your name.
If this goes sideways, that's on me, not you.
Card on file, nothing charged until day 15. Cancel from your account anytime, and keep the site.
- You own everything. Your domain, your listings, your ad accounts, and your content live in your accounts, in your name. Your code, your data, and your phone number are yours by contract and transfer on request, and the continuity kit you get at go-live shows your next developer exactly how. Walk away whenever you want and you keep all of it.
- If something I built misses the scope we agreed to, I fix it at no extra charge, full stop. And every system gets its first 30 days of tuning included, measured against the goal we set together before I built it. You just answer your calls and send me your photos.
