Five steps to sell more of any service
-
1. Pick the services you want more of
Not every service is worth pushing. Start with the ones that pay best for your crew and equipment, and the ones you can do this month.
-
2. Give each one its own page
One page per service, with real photos, the towns you serve and a clear way to get a quote. The service page outline builder gives you a starting outline.
-
3. List each one on your Google profile
Add each service with a short description written in the words customers use.
-
4. Price each one from your own costs
Crew time, equipment, disposal, travel, overhead and profit. Our tools do the math with your numbers; results are estimates.
-
5. Answer every call
A great service page is wasted if the call goes to voicemail. Invoca reports that about 27% of calls to home-service businesses go unanswered, and under 3% of those callers leave a voicemail.
Start your pages with the service page outline builder, find the words people use with the local keyword planner, and read the local SEO guide, pricing tree work and tree service website guides. Browse every guide on the Learn page and every tool on the tools page.
Common questions
Who are these service guides for?
Owners of small US tree service companies, usually one to five crews, who want to sell more of a specific service. They are not for homeowners. Homeowners can read our homeowner guides instead.
Do the guides tell me what to charge?
No. We do not publish market prices for tree work, because they change by area, job and season. Each guide shows how to build your own price from your costs, and links to free tools that do the math with your numbers.
Should every service have its own page on my website?
For the services you want more of, yes. One page per service lets you answer the questions customers have about that job, use the words they search for and show photos of that kind of work.
Can I copy the example service descriptions?
Use them as a starting point. Replace the parts in brackets, remove anything that is not true for your company, and add your own details. Pages that say something specific about you work better than generic text.
Which service should I push first?
Usually the one with the best profit per crew day that you can do well right now. For many small companies that is removal with stump grinding as an add-on. Check your own numbers with the profit margin calculator.
How do these guides help with local SEO?
Each guide covers what customers search for and how to describe the service on your site and Google Business Profile. Our local SEO guide explains how those pages and your profile work together in search.
Are the safety notes enough to train my crew?
No. They are short, general notes for owners. Crews need proper training, and the rules depend on your state and setup. Short explanation, not legal or safety advice.
Is Lirevon a tree service?
No. Lirevon helps tree companies catch more calls, follow up on quotes and get found on Google. We are new and do not have tree-service clients yet; first case studies are planned for December 2026.
General information, not legal, insurance or safety advice.
