The honest verdict

Deep green-industry strategy —
at commercial-landscape prices.

Let me be straight with you: Landscape Leadership is the real thing for a specific kind of company. Built by green-industry people, they understand crew management, seasonal demand, commercial bid cycles, and the retention economics that separate a $500K operation from a $10M one. Content, SEO, paid search, photography, video, sales enablement — wrapped in annual strategy engagements. For a $5M–$20M lawn or landscape firm, that’s a legitimate flagship agency.

Now the check: public sources report clients typically spend $70,000–$100,000 per year, with one-off projects starting at $25,000, and they’re upfront that they don’t do cheap tiered packages — or work with companies outside their $2M–$20M sweet spot. If you’re under $2M, you’re not their client. And even inside the bracket, ask who owns the site, content, and ad accounts the engagement produces.

We sit at the other end of the market on purpose: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, public, no setup fee, month-to-month — a high-intent Google Ads machine built in your name (account, landing page, call tracking), live in ~48 hours, kept forever if you cancel. Not a strategy engagement. A phone that rings, that you own.

Why this matters

You don’t need a $70k engagement to make the phone ring

I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and here’s a pattern I see in the green industry: a landscape company hits a few million in revenue, and suddenly every proposal on the desk is a five-figure “comprehensive engagement.” Strategy decks, brand refreshes, annual roadmaps. Some of it is genuinely good work — for the right company at the right stage.

But most lawn and landscape operators I meet don’t have a strategy problem. They have a Tuesday problem: the crews are ready, the trucks are fueled, and the schedule has holes. That’s not solved by a content calendar. It’s solved by being the ad a homeowner sees when they search “landscaping company near me” — and by owning the machine that puts you there.

So that’s what we build, at a price that isn’t a board decision: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking numbers — from $699/month, live in ~48 hours. Our AI, trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions, manages bids daily; I personally oversee it; you approve everything before launch. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market. When you’re ready for the $70k brand engagement someday, do it — with your lead machine already yours.

How LSM AI Works

The honest truth

Agency vs. owning it.

The agency model
  • $2,000–$5,000/month in fees just to manage your account
  • They own your Google Ads account — you start from zero when you leave
  • Random results. No explanation of why.
  • Zero visibility into what they're actually doing
The LSM way
  • From $699/month — less than one job is worth
  • Your Google Ads account. Your campaigns. Your data — always.
  • AI manages it daily. Full transparency — you see every decision.
  • Cancel anytime. Your campaigns stay yours forever.

If this sounds familiar…

You've been burned before.

🔒

They own your accounts. Not you.

The day you leave an agency, your Google Ads account, tracking numbers, and landing page are gone. You spent $30,000 building their asset.

💸

The reports look great. The phone doesn't ring.

Impressions. Clicks. CTR. Beautiful PDF every month. But when you ask how many jobs you closed — nobody has a straight answer.

🤷

You ask a question. You get an email 48 hours later.

You need answers now. A human account manager you can never reach isn't service — it's a subscription to uncertainty.

Good questions

Questions,
answered.

Is LSM a replacement for Landscape Leadership?

No — different animals. Landscape Leadership runs comprehensive annual engagements: content marketing, SEO, photography, video, sales enablement for $2M–$20M green-industry firms. We don’t do any of that. We do one thing deep: a high-intent Google Ads lead machine you own. If you’re a $10M design-build firm that needs brand and sales-process depth, they may be your pick — we’ll tell you honestly on the call.

How much does Landscape Leadership cost?

Public sources as of July 2026 report typical client spend of $70,000–$100,000 per year, with one-off projects starting around $25,000 — and they deliberately avoid cheap tiered packages. Confirm current figures with them. Our pricing is public and monthly: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, no setup fee, month-to-month.

Does LSM work for landscaping and lawn care companies?

Yes — landscaping is one of our core trades, and unlike agencies with a $2M revenue floor, we have no minimum. One city, high-intent Google Search, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market.

My landscape company is under $2M revenue — who should I hire?

Landscape Leadership publicly targets $2M–$20M firms, so below that you’re outside their model. At your stage the highest-leverage move is usually owned paid lead flow: our $699/month tier builds the Google Ads account, landing page, and call tracking in your name, live in ~48 hours, month-to-month. Grow into the big engagements later if you still want them.

Which plan should I pick?

Start with Starter if you want to get your phone ringing in one city and grow from there — one new campaign gets added each month. Go with Growth if you're ready to cover your full service area right away. Pro adds local SEO, Facebook Ads, and weekly coaching with me directly. If you're still not sure, run the free audit — it'll tell you what to expect in your market.

How fast will my ads go live?

Most clients are live within 48 hours of completing setup. Your LSM AI builds everything, you review and approve, then it goes live. The only exception is if Google requires advanced verification for your category (locksmith, garage door) — that's a direct process between you and Google, and we walk you through it.

What results can I expect?

Depends on your trade, your city, and your ad budget. The free audit gives you a real estimate pulled directly from Google's own Ads data — not a made-up projection. In a medium-to-large market with a $1,000/month ad budget, most clients get 15–40 qualified calls per month. Run the audit first to see what's realistic in your specific area.

Do I really own everything?

Yes. The Google Ads account, the call tracking numbers, the landing page — all built inside your accounts, in your name. If you ever cancel, you walk away with everything you paid to build. That's not a policy. That's the whole point.

Is there a contract?

No contract, ever. Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel anytime — if we stop earning your business, you should stop paying.

What if I already have my own call tracking or fraud protection?

No problem. You can connect your existing accounts, or we set everything up fresh for you. Your call — you pick during onboarding.

I'm a locksmith or garage door company. Anything I should know?

Yes — Google requires advanced verification for locksmith and garage door services before ads can run. We build your campaign and all your keywords, but you'll need to complete that verification with Google directly (we walk you through it). If for any reason you can't complete it, you're covered by our full 7-day refund.

Do you work with my trade?

We specialize in home and local services — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, locksmith, garage door, pest control, carpet cleaning, water damage, tree service, and more. Run the free audit and you'll instantly see if we're a fit.

What exactly is my LSM AI account manager?

It's your personal AI marketing manager — trained on 8,600+ real LSM coaching sessions. Sign up and it's ready to go: builds your full campaign setup inside your accounts, reviews everything with you before anything goes live, and stays on 24/7 to answer any question about your campaigns, leads, or marketing strategy. In Lior's exact voice.

What's the 7-day money-back guarantee?

If you sign up and decide within 7 days that this isn't right for you — for any reason — you get a full refund. No hoops. We'd rather lose a bad fit early than keep a client who isn't seeing value.

Stop renting leads.
