Mike Andes hosts a live-style YouTube review of lawn care and landscaping websites, fielding submissions from a texting group (Text "Landscaping" to 360-227-6362). He emphasizes mobile-first inspection, critiques branding and gallery photos (recommending visible logos/trucks/uniforms and clear before/after labels), and offers design and SEO advice to help sites rank better.
What's up, everyone? Mike Canis here. Today we're going to be analyzing lawn care and landscaping websites and we're actually going to do it from the group. So there is a texting group. If you haven't already, you'll definitely want to join it. I'm going to be fielding the questions from here today and you can join the group by just Texting Landscaping to 360-227-6362. It'll be great. But today I want to actually analyze, show you real websites and give my recommendations, design, search engine optimization or SEO and making sure you can rank well in Google. So let's go ahead and get started. Let me make sure everything is firing in all cylinders here and make sure I actually share my screen this time. Let's go ahead and jump in. I'm not going to be taking questions from the chat. All right, so if you have not already texted me this morning from the texting group, then I'm not going to be answering questions. I'm not going to be going through the chat today. I'm going to be analyzing these websites and hopefully helping you so you can improve your website and make it better or Potentially use lawn carewebdesign.com or homeservicewebdesign.com I think I have like a graphic from back in the day on these. Let's see here. Let me see if I can't find one. Web design. Oh, there you go. There's one. So anyways, let's go ahead and jump in. I'm going to go and just start analyzing these. These were again from the texting group people. I just asked if anyone had any websites they wanted me analyzed and I got hundreds and hundreds. So I'm going to do as many as I can today. Let's try to shoot for a hundred of them. The first one is Hunter Hunter's Landscaping Services. All right, let's go ahead and just get started. Boom. Cool. So I have this thing where I can show you on here, but check this out. I think I'm able to actually also share. Let me check. This is that I think I should share the mobile version. I've never done this before and what's interesting and important is the fact that your see whatever I'm showing my iPhone is now showing on the screen. It's great. So as I move here, you should be able to see it. Let's go. Now we're talking, baby. Okay, so let's actually stick to the mobile for just a second because the mobile is so Important. Everyone should look at your website on a mobile device because the vast majority of your traffic is going to come through mobile. So this is gallery, I think. Yeah, Gallery of photos. Okay. Okay. So again, on these pictures, try to get your brand in here. I don't see any truck, uniform or anything that differentiate this from any other picture of someone's backyard. So again, your brand, your logos, that's what makes it different. I think this is like a kind of a before and after. It'd be nice if you actually put the text before and after on it. That'd be interesting. And so you actually tell the customer what, what they're looking at. But again, like, I don't know what the colors of this company are.
I don't see a logo. So this is a good starting point though, right? Like, I'd rather have you have this than nothing. And I would assume that this is probably someone getting started. I don't know. It says Hunters Landscaping Services, which typically it's a younger person getting started when they name it after their first. The first name of themselves. And notice even just my. What's the word I'm looking for? I'm just going to jump into conclusions here based upon certain things. If you don't want to be known as the small town lawn care landscaper guy, you might not want to name it Mike's Lawn Care, or in this case, Hunter's Lawn Care Landscaping. Okay, so keep in mind as I go through these, I am not trying to bag on anybody. That is not the goal here. I appreciate everyone that texted these in, knowing that I was going to make a video about it. Let's go ahead and jump on to the next one. The next one is B. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. BS Lawn care dot net. Okay, let's try this out. B s Lawn care dot net now, the reason I do these is because even if you don't use. Okay, this looks like, yeah, this is a lawn care web design site, but.
