Ellis Landscape Services came to us in 2019 with a site that wasn't getting visits. We rebuilt it, started blogging, rebuilt it again in 2025 — and now they're showing up in 184 keyword searches with traffic climbing every month. The work never stops because the results never do.
"Korey did a great job building my website for my landscaping company. I was very happy and will continue to use him in the future."★★★★★
Both organic traffic and keyword rankings are currently trending up — the second redesign in July 2025 and continued content work are already paying off.
The 21–50 position tier is surging sharply right now — those are keywords that have climbed out of the back pages and are working their way to page one. When they arrive, they'll push traffic significantly higher.
Meanwhile, 35 keywords are already in the top 10 — actively driving visits today. The pipeline behind them is healthy and growing.
This pattern — a surge in the 21–50 tier — is what the data looks like just before a meaningful traffic jump. It's exactly what you'd expect to see after a fresh redesign and continued content output.
| Position | Keywords | Distribution |
|---|---|---|
| Top 3 | 7 | |
| Positions 4–10 | 28 | |
| Positions 11–20 | 39 | |
| Positions 21–50 | 73 | |
| Positions 51–100 | 37 |
↑ The 21–50 tier is rising sharply in the SEMrush data as of May 2026 — these keywords are actively moving toward page one.
Most marketing relationships end before the compounding starts. Ellis Landscape Services is proof of what happens when you stay the course.
Site wasn't getting visits. We redesigned it from the ground up with SEO and local search in mind. Keyword rankings begin to appear for the first time. Blogging starts to build topical authority.
Consistent blog content keeps adding pages and keywords. Backlinks accumulate to 208 from 119 referring domains. Traffic peaks near 83 visits/month before the site begins to need a refresh.
Second full website rebuild — updated design, stronger SEO architecture, improved page structure. Google re-evaluates the site and begins rewarding the improvements immediately.
Facebook management launches, adding a brand presence that reinforces search authority and reaches local homeowners where they spend time. The full-service picture comes together.
184 keywords ranking (+7%), 45+ monthly visits (+15%), 21–50 tier surging toward page one. The second redesign is working exactly as intended, and the content investment from 6 years is compounding.
6 years of blogging built the content depth that AI search tools cite. Ellis is now referenced across three major platforms.
These accumulate slowly — but they don't go away. Six years of blogging and consistent SEO built an authority base that new competitors can't fast-track.
This isn't a single campaign. It's a sustained relationship that evolves as the business grows and the digital landscape changes.
First redesign turned a site with no traffic into one that ranked. Second redesign in July 2025 refreshed the architecture and accelerated growth again. Both built around local SEO for the DFW market.
Years of consistent blog posts targeting landscaping searches in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. This is what built the 208 backlinks, the AI citations, and the base of 184 ranking keywords.
On-page optimization, technical SEO, and keyword strategy maintained and updated across two redesigns. The continuity of the SEO work is a key reason the domain authority held and kept building.
Newest addition to the engagement. Facebook presence now extends the brand into the social feeds of local homeowners, creating another touchpoint that supports both brand recognition and search signals.
When Ellis Landscape Services first came to us in 2019, the goal was simple: get the website working. Six years later, the site has gone through two rebuilds, produced hundreds of pieces of content, earned 208 backlinks, and now shows up in AI search tools that didn't even exist when we started.
The 21–50 keyword tier surging right now means a wave of page-one rankings is coming. The July 2025 redesign laid the groundwork for the next phase of growth. And with Facebook now added to the mix, the full-service picture is in place.
This is what SEO looks like when you don't quit. It compounds. Every year of content, every new backlink, every redesign that refreshes the signal — it all adds up. You can't buy six years of authority. You have to build it.
