do you have a number I can call to ask questions? I have some problems with my LSA account. My competitors are seemingly out ranking me, without having more of anything than me. I answer every call, I have 100+ pictures on there. I have 1400+ reviews, 99% of them are 5 star. I have a 4.8 right now. I have competitors with 5 reviews and a 5.0 and 4 pictures out ranking me. I have competitors with 10 pictures and a 4.6 out ranking me. I'm not sure what is going on here. I could use some guidance.

How is the tree industry doing overall for your clients? Have contractors had to drop prices on work to stay busy? In my area, it seems a lot of my competitors are bidding way too low. About 40% of my competitors don't have worker's comp. Trouble is those companies are usually much cheaper, and if the prospect gets 3 quotes, they're likely to get at least one of those companies that aren't fully insured to submit a quote. Many of those companies just say they're "insured", which is misleading, as it's illegal to not have worker's comp if you have employees, or even "fully insured", which is definitely untrue, and many times the customer doesn't actually verify they have worker's comp insurance or even general liability insurance. On a $3,000 job, a company that can submit a quote for $2,500 will most likely get it, even if the only reason their costs are lower is due to them paying their employees cash under the table with no worker's comp. Other than marketing to affluent towns, which I've experimented with and the jury is still out on that, what do you recommend?

Thank you for sharing your experience with Tree Service Digital; very helpful.

I need pricing for a Website and have you do my Facebook Marketing

Before Google changed things, I was getting several calls a week, and now I barely had any calls in over a year

Thanks for sharing boos. I follow you all time❤❤

Why it is happening?

Confused. Is there a tree specific template for Jobber?

Spot on. After 15 years in the business, I can confirm this has happened almost every year.

How is the industry overall doing? Is there a recession affecting other tree companies and putting more competition on prices, or are things about the same as last year?

Hi Wesley, this is gold ! Its hidden away in the marketing plan but the marketing automation is such a good idea that can be used for every type of local business!

Not just land scapers but construction workers also so where I am at in Michigan I grab a stack of business cards and go to the lawn dudes the landscapers and contractors even a lot of the local businesses I had them a stack and every job they get me I throw them 100$ or 50$ whatever a little incentive. Don’t dress like a bum either,34.99$ on amazing button down short sleeve shirts with custom stitching their cheap and look great and they breathe well when your climbing, we get comments all the time about how good we look 😉I promise that it does make a difference.

We are getting ready to start a tree business with a gentleman that has been working in this business for about 10 years . I love all of these ideas but being that it is a new and not established business do you have a different video I can watch to see if this is something we may want to invest in right away . Thank you

Interested for your leads generation

thank you for sharing this. We just reactivated our LSA account. We haven't used it in about three years so it's nice to know that they are monitoring for bad lids. I'll keep you posted and and thanks for sharing Jim.

Google rips basically everyone off to some degree. I think EDDM postcards and a good website are a workaround to paying for Google Ads or GLSA.

How do i get a hold of Erich about the software he uses for his business..Thanks in advance…Tyson A

Hi Wesley, I emailed you

Google's algorithim no longer helps me find what I'm looking for. It's been broken for a long time.

One-handing a saw is what the best pros do when necessary. The only people that generally say you need two hands on a tophandle saws are professional trainers that don't actively work production in the field. Two hands on the saw is generally better, but one-handling is fairly safe if you watch out for your other hand and watch out for kickback.

What a thrilling event packed with adrenaline-pumping rigging sessions and groundbreaking tree care techniques.

Is it “trimming” or “tree trimming”?? Or does it even matter??

I was told because I’m black i may not want to put family on the website..what do u think?

Also talk about raising prices to meet inflation.

Please talk about what should a net profit be for a 1. Small tree service. 2. Medium tree service 3. Large tree service 4. Extra large Also talk about what percentage of your money should go to business savings, business expenses. Also talk about firing people that do not meet the goals established.

Hi Wesley, I really appreciate your great content. I am running an establishing tree service in Australia and it's incredibly helpful to get your valuable insight on achieving the best marketing results.

always ask for the review, who cares we need good and bad ones makes us look real

You have to pay people well and bonus them. to get them to stay.

Is your fire alarm always low on battery? I hear a chirping sound every minute or so.

I'm always last don't make sense. Why a company with 1 year 8 reviews is at top o0% of time. I have 197 5 star reviews and 2+ years

I am looking to start a tree serivce company , will facebook ads be a good option , do you have clients who use facebook ads as marketing .

If we are not quite ready for a digital marketing budget. Can we still have our website built through your company? So basically, we grow with you and add on services when we are ready.

Hey brother, is this for sale at book stores? Or how can I buy a physical book, I’m in California.

Great interview ❤

Awesome Episode!!!!

I love these shorts you have been putting out Wes! This is a great topic and it's all about your team dynamic. I am an INFJ so while I am great at running everything from behind the scenes, I am a terrible estimator! My estimator started out as a ground guy and his natural curiosity and easy going personality means he is constantly asking questions. This is the best quality for sales because he is always providing the solution based on what the customer wants and his questions often help the customer realize themselves what it is they are after.

I have a question how can I put the appointments in Google local service, what I have to do if you can help me.

I need help being a small Tree Service owner learning how to do taxes? I’m in Daytona Beach Florida. I really want to find someone local that can run me through how and what to do for taxes and just overall tips on what’s what to run the business. Example if I do a $5000 dollar job how much of taxes should I take out or if I can find an account to do stuff like that for me? If you ever have a minuet let me know what your suggestion would be on where to start. I appreciate the video though. Learned some stuff.💪🏻

Really enjoyed the conversation. Lots of fun ideas and things to implement in my business! Thanks

I am going to share this video by the way, its a great video
