Why million-dollar+ tree service companies choose Tree Care Marketing Solutions Why do million-dollar+ tree service companies choose us?
Tree care only
We've focused exclusively on tree care since 2013. You won't spend your first month explaining what plant health care is.
Arborists on the team
Our team includes a Connecticut Licensed Arborist, and an ISA Certified Arborist reviews our content for accuracy.
A real person on your account
A dedicated Client Success Manager (CSM) who knows your company is available by phone, text, or email during business hours. You also get a Weekly Leads Report on where your calls came from.
Month-to-month
After you've built your Foundation, there's no long-term contract.
You own your accounts
Your website, domain, and Google accounts stay in your name.
- 4.4 yearsThe average time our full-service clients stay with us
- 1 in 3Has stayed with us for 7 years or longer
- 10+ yearsHow long several clients have been with us
Who we work with, and who we don't Where you fit, and where you don't
Read both lists. We'd rather you know up front what we look for and what we expect from clients.
We're a good match if
- You run an established company in the United States with $1M or more in annual revenue
- Your operation is sound and professional, and you respond to inquiries quickly
- Someone besides you answers the phone during business hours (or you're committed to hiring that person right away if we work together)
- You'll share account and CRM access, meet with us regularly, and put the systems we recommend to work
- You have an ISA Certified Arborist or a state-licensed Arborist/Tree Expert on staff. We strongly prefer it but don't require it. If you have neither, we'll ask about your plans to certify or license someone.
- You want to grow, and you trust us as the experts to help you do that
We're probably not the right partner if
- Your revenue is under $1M, your company is outside the United States, or you've been in business for less than two years
- You want the lowest monthly fee, a quick fix, or shortcuts
- You're just interested in getting more leads at the lowest price
- You're not ready to change a process, share sales data, or do the work on your business that sustainable growth takes
- You still answer every call, write every estimate, schedule the crews, and run the equipment. Stepping out of the field is the goal for many of our clients, and we'll help you get there. But someone still has to pick up the phone while you're up a tree.
- You're not looking to grow right now
No hard feelings either way. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you straight and, when we can, point you somewhere useful.
"I'd rather tell you we're not the right fit than watch you spend money on marketing that can't work yet."
Which stage fits your tree care company? Where does your company start?
You start by laying the groundwork for a rock-solid Foundation on which to grow your business. After that, you work with us month-to-month in the stage of the GROWth System™ that fits your company best.
Revenue is only a guide. We place you by how your company runs: how fast leads get answered, whether they get followed up, and whether you know your numbers. High revenue doesn't qualify a company for a stage its processes can't support, and what's happening in your service area matters too.
| Stage | Who it's for | Revenue guide |
|---|---|---|
| Momentum | Established companies whose website, Google presence, reviews, or tracking are weak, inconsistent, or unmeasured. | About $1M to $2.5M |
| Performance | Companies with steady demand that are outgrowing their current systems: processes are breaking, and the owner is trying to get out of operations. | About $2.5M to $5M |
| Scale | Multi-location, acquisitive, and fast-growing companies looking to scale profitably and without losing the core of what's made them successful. | More than $5M |
Working with competing tree care companies Do you work with my competitors?
Sometimes we work with more than one company in a market. Here's how that works in your favor, and what we promise in return.
How that works in your favor
- We know your local market better.
- We keep your Google Ads costs down by managing client accounts so they don't always bid against each other.
- Your marketing can be more effective because we've refined the strategies that work best in your area.
Our promise to you
We know owners can be concerned about us working with other local companies.
- We let existing clients know before we take on another company serving the same area.
- We use different writers when possible and make sure your content is truly yours.
- Confidential information never crosses between clients, and we don't talk about you to your competitors.
- When two companies are direct rivals or located right next to each other, we decline to take on the second one.
Booking estimates four or more weeks out? Tell us. We won't start by generating demand you can't serve. Instead, we'll fix the leaks in your process that let prospects slip away before anyone quotes them. Find out if that's you by completing the Growth Readiness Assessment.
Tree care marketing agency fit FAQs Questions owners ask before they call us
Do I need an ISA Certified Arborist or state-licensed equivalent on staff?
We strongly prefer it, but it isn't strictly required. If you have neither, we'll ask about your plans to certify or license someone within the next 12 months. Arboriculture is a skilled profession, and we treat it that way.
Can we work together if we're under $1M in annual revenue?
Probably not yet. We serve companies at $1M and up, and we'd rather tell you that than take your money before you're ready to benefit from the GROWth System.
I'm still in the field most days. Is that a problem?
It's common for tree care owners to still be in the field (after all, you probably started a tree service because you like doing tree work or operating a crane). Where it becomes a problem is when you're the only person answering the phone, booking estimates, and following up on quotes. You need someone other than you to be doing these things during business hours, or a firm commitment and plan in place to hire that person within the next month.
Do you work with companies outside the United States?
No. We work with US tree care companies only.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. After you've built your Foundation, everything is month-to-month. A few program enhancements, like Storm Response Customer Care and Targeted Direct Mail, carry their own 6- or 12-month commitment, separate from your GROWth System, and we'll tell you up front when one does. See how we price.
