Let me be straight with you: this is one of the more legitimate niche players you’ll find. Landscaper Marketing — powered by North Shore Digital — serves landscaping companies exclusively: residential, commercial, maintenance routes, snow and ice, irrigation. They run Google Ads and SEO with ROI analytics, list 16+ named Canadian landscaping clients, carry Google Partner and BBB credentials, and cite a client generating between $1.5 and $2 million from Google campaigns. Same channel we believe in, same trades focus. Respect.
So when two shops run the same channel for the same trade, the comparison comes down to the unglamorous questions. Price: theirs isn’t published — you get a discovery call and a custom Online Growth Plan. Ownership: not stated — whose Google Ads account do the campaigns live in, who keeps the landing pages and the call data if you leave after three seasons? Neither answer is on their site. Both are on ours.
LSM’s answers, in plain sight: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, public, month-to-month, no setup fee, 7-day full money-back guarantee. The Google Ads account, the landing page, the call tracking numbers — created in your name from day one, live in ~48 hours after setup, managed daily by an AI trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions with me personally overseeing it. If we ever stop earning your business, you keep the machine and every season of campaign history in it.

I’ve watched this movie for 15 years, and the landscaping version has a special sting because of seasonality. A landscaping company runs Google Ads through an agency for three years. Spring cleanups, summer builds, fall closeouts, snow contracts — three full cycles of learning what converts in which month, all encoded in the ad account’s history. Then the owner wants to bring it in-house, or switch agencies, or sell the company. And the question lands: whose account is it?
If the answer is ‘the agency’s’, those three seasons of data — the most valuable marketing asset the business built — stay behind. The new campaigns start cold, in spring, learning what the old account already knew. I’ve seen owners stay with agencies they’d outgrown purely because leaving meant amnesia. That’s not loyalty. That’s a hostage situation with good landscaping photos.
So we made the answer structural: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking — in your name from the first day, with every season’s learning compounding in an asset YOU hold. Daily AI bid management, my personal oversight, your approval before anything goes live, ~48 hours to launch after setup. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market. Whoever you hire — us, them, anyone — get the ownership answer in writing first.

I built Local Service Mastery because I watched too many great contractors get burned by agencies — overcharged, locked out, left with nothing. So I flipped the model: your accounts, your data, your asset. We build it. You own it.
Peace,

For the Google Ads side — yes, directly: same channel, same trade, different ownership structure. For their SEO, web design, and managed hosting services — no, we don’t do SEO retainers or website projects. If you want one Canadian shop handling your whole landscaping web presence, they’re a credible niche pick. If you want the lead machine in your own name at a published price, that’s us.
Not published — their process is a discovery call followed by a custom Online Growth Plan, so you’ll learn pricing in conversation. Ask for the monthly figure, minimum term, and — most important — whose name the ad account is in. LSM: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, public, month-to-month, no setup fee, 7-day full money-back guarantee.
Yes — landscaping, lawn care, hardscaping, irrigation, and snow are strong fits: homeowners search and call, and seasonality rewards an account with year-over-year history (which you’ll own). High-intent Google Search in your city, 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.
Because the account’s conversion history is how Google learns your seasons — which keywords convert in April vs November, what a snow-contract lead costs vs a patio build. That learning compounds year over year and makes every season’s clicks cheaper. If the agency owns the account, switching means starting the education over, usually right when a season opens. Own the account; the seasons pay you twice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No contract, ever. Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel anytime — if we stop earning your business, you should stop paying.
No problem. You can connect your existing accounts, or we set everything up fresh for you. Your call — you pick during onboarding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Check your market, pick your plan, or grab 15 minutes with me. Let's get your phone ringing.
