Search "best landscape designer" in your town. Count the builders.
In Austin, that search returned directories and a magazine list, not firms. A page written for that exact phrase is how a builder gets onto it.
- One page for each project type in each town
- Answer the small-yard and fire pit searches
- Put your awards and named reviews on one page
SEO for a design-build firm is a set of pages, each made for one search: a project type in a town, a cost question, and the "best landscape designer" phrase that directories hold today. The firms that break into those results publish a page made for the phrase, with real awards and reviews.
The pages to build first
Start with searches that carry a project, a budget or a place. Each of these is a page of its own:
- Each project type in each town, such as outdoor kitchens in [town]
- A small-yard cost page, since "landscaping cost for a small yard" is its own search
- A fire pit page, because "with fire pit" gets added to backyard searches
- An awards and reviews page aimed at "best landscape designer in [town]"
Who holds those results now
In a September 2026 check of "best landscape designer in Austin," the results were Houzz, Yelp, HomeGuide and a local magazine's best-of list. Directories gather many firms on one page. A builder breaks in with a page aimed at that phrase, backed by real awards and client reviews that name the job and the town.

A few things you might be wondering
Do we need pages for decks and pools?
Only if you build them. "How much does a backyard deck cost" and "backyard pool cost" sit next to backyard remodel searches. A firm that builds decks or pool surrounds can answer them with its own prices. If you do not, leave them alone.
How should town pages differ from each other?
Each needs work from that town: finished yards, their scope, and anything local such as permits. Google treats near-copies made for each city as doorway abuse, its term for pages built to rank for similar searches and funnel people elsewhere (Google, 2026).
Which reviews help a backyard firm?
Ones that name the job, the town and how long it took. Ask each client for those three after the final walkthrough. A buyer reading them learns what you build and where, which a five-word review cannot tell them.

Who you are ranking against
- The field
- You bid against maintenance landscapers who now add patios, crews that only lay pavers, general contractors, masonry crews and designers who sell plans. Search the best landscape designer in your town and you get Houzz, Yelp and a magazine list, not a builder. You rank there only with a page built for that phrase.
