Hi @gregoryburke ,
looks good overall - i like the design - nice and clean, well layed out and professional look 🙂
i’m just thinking through - what do people want when searching for a lawn-care service… i am actually interested in one although not sure you / your client can service my garden in england 😦
Which leads nicely into what i think is potentially a massive point:
- Where are Wake Pro? What areas do you cover?!!! I can’t find it - maybe i’m missing something. ‘Local’ is mentioned once or twice - but local to where!?
- Although i have no experience of marketing local services, I would expect this is possibly one of the biggest factors. I think even if i were to look up on a directory - it tells me wake pro are 1 mile from me - i would still be looking for verification of this pretty much first thing on site.
still writing… will post more shortly
in my view i would expect it to work better if you plaster the area very visibly all over the page:
Do you use geo-locate within the ads? Grass-Cutting in [town] - Limited Capacity - Get Your Quote Now
I would suggest it’s worth testing if you don’t and also test within headline of LP.
In addition, list out the areas covered: Servicing, Worthing, Littlehampton, Steyning, Rustington and sourounding areas. (these are towns near me…)
There will be many people who live near Worthing (the biggest town in the vicinity) - I’m in Rustington they are in worthing - will they cover that far out…? If they see “Rustington” on the site - all doubt is immediately Removed.
As part of my trying to fugure our where the service is, I scrolled to the bottom “blurb” area looking for an address - nothing 😦
This blurb does a couple of things:
1 - it’s a common place for people to look to see who and where you are - really imnportant for this kind of service
2 - it re-enfoces trustability…
grabbing an example and typing - more to come…
Thanks Alex, that’s great feedback. I definitely agree, and will add the address very conspicuously on there.
(Although the location is not quite as mysterious as it may seem)
- The “Wake” in Wake Pro Lawn Care means Wake County. Almost everyone around here would catch that.
- Almost everyone would recognize the (919) area code.
- In AdWords, the geotargeting is a very small small area around Raleigh (in Wake County). He just focuses on the highend neighborhoods downtown.
I also have some separate landing pages for when people’s searches do include the city name. If someone searches “Cary lawn maintenance,” it’ll say Cary in the headline.
I really appreciate the feedback though. I’ll put it to use!
ahh - completely missed that! more on the way - less area focussed!
So this is typical of the kind of blurb i would always want at bottom of site:
This one is for a Financial Services company, so heavier than most of ours:

In my view - although few people read much of it - it being there is re-assuring. Makes one think this is a real company regitetred autorised, i can seee their address - i trust them a bit more now,.,
Having nothing there makes me think - who are these people!?? and raises a red flag on the trustability - more acceptable for a local lawn cutting company - but some basic details would go a long way i would expect.
more on the way…
Some things i would be keen to either do (no-brainer) or test:
which is defnately worth trying aswell - article on force to https here https://documentation.unbounce.com/hc/en-us/articles/204756634-How-do-I-secure-my-landing-page-domain-with-SSL-#content2
This has the benefit of giving you a nice reassuring green padlock (make sure you don’t pull from any non-ssl sources - otherwise you get warnings galore on the page) - but yours is fine atm (just be aware if adding any scripts etc)
You’ve been ridiculously thorough. I will implement these suggestions, and check back in a month or so with my new conversion rate stats.
Thanks!
rather
Cheers!
Last one!
I would also try some different messaging on that 1st section and a different approach on the CTA (treat as seperate tests so you can see whats working and whats not - 1 variable per test - multivariate is fine if done properly):
1 (thinking - let’s concisely give them everything they need above the fold, let them know they found the best one, — fill out the form!!!) . The longer text below can be good for re-assureance - if we can close the deal now, let’s do it…
Headline: Full Service Lawn Mowing, Turf, & Yard Maintenance (the current one - concise, ticks the boxes - this is what i am seaching for - great)
Subheadline - i like this also . Prompt. Professional. Precise. -
these two can give good uplifts so are always worth testing around - although i like what you have there.
i would be inclined to include some bullets answering some questions, which are further down currently:
- Weekly or Bi-Weekly programs
- Full service - weed control, leaf cleanup and more
- Trusted - established in 2001 and use by over 2000 homeowners
- Competitive priced and great looking work!
Get the garden and service you deserve - complete the form to get your quote now:
I would definitely test: dropping the 50 offer instead
- bring the form on page on the right side
- remove address from the form
- make email non-mandatory
- Headline for the form - GET YOUR QUOTE NOW
- button text - GET MY QUOTE
With the headline and bullets we have established:
- its the service they are looking for
- its THE one - professional, trustworthy, good price…
So what next - “Get $50 Off Your First Month” - lovely, but whats next. At this stage - i want it - but how much does it cost - i’m perhaps reluctant to pick up the phone - seems like a mission, if i’m not fully commited - GET YOUR QUOTE NOW - 4 fields - looks easy, immediate, and i don’t have to come out of my hermit shell and talk to someone - well teleohone…
I would expect this to do well - one way to find out…
I don’t have as much advice as Alex, but here are some additional suggestions I have!
Not sure what device your audience is mostly using (can be found within Google Analytics) - but on a Mac the images are not clear due to the retina issue. A quick fix is to place a box and set the background to the image. Clean images can help with your page look more professional.
I would consider installing Hotjar on your site (if you haven’t already) for inspecting a heat map of your page. I use this on all of my pages, and find it especially helpful when I have longer pages. It can show you what the users are reading on your page - therefor, what elements they find useful or don’t.
With a $50 promo this would be a great time to use one of UB’s sticky bars! I would display it after a user scrolls down after 50% or so! You could also implement one of the pop ups as well. My favorite is using one when a user try to exit the page.
Good Luck!
Thank you, these are also very good suggestions. I’ll definitely HotJar it up. I also like the idea of an exit intent pop-up or a sticky bar.
This was a fairly low budget client, so I didn’t have many hours upfront for so much analysis, but this is definitely great stuff to do in the upcoming months.
This community is great! I should have stopped by this place sooner!
