Home & Property Services Marketing

Home and property service businesses compete for local visibility against both direct competitors and aggregator platforms like Angi and Thumbtack — often with demand that swings hard by season and trust that's built almost entirely through reviews and real project photography rather than brand awareness. Local search visibility matters more here than in almost any other category, because most customers are choosing between whoever shows up first, not whoever they've heard of. This is the kind of work Freeform does for companies like Bella Landscaping.

Scope

A five-channel engagement — web, business development, paid search, SEO, and social — for a Los Angeles luxury landscape design and installation company.

Strategy

Treat the website, outreach, paid search, organic search, and social as one connected system rather than five separate vendors, so each channel reinforces the others.

Results

16x more website visits and 12x more form inquiries year over year, signed work worth 10x the ad spend, and a growing commercial channel alongside Bella’s residential core.

Full Scope

Bella Landscaping came to Freeform with a Google Ads account that was spending steadily without a clear read on what was actually driving leads. Rather than treat that as an isolated paid-search fix, Freeform took on the full marketing picture — web, outreach, paid, organic, and social — as one coordinated engagement.

The Five Workstreams

Web Development

Built and shipped new geo-targeted service pages on Bella's site to give the marketing work a stronger foundation to run on.

Business Development & Outreach

Stood up a dedicated outreach program and inbox to reach general contractors, landscape architects, developers, and property managers directly across Bella's target neighborhoods.

Paid Search (PPC)

Diagnosed and fixed a conversion-tracking gap, rebuilt the keyword structure around proven converters, and layered in negative keywords to stop wasted spend.

SEO

Set up Google Business Profile, GA4, and Search Console properly, then built geo-targeted pages and updated structured snippets to support both search and outreach.

Social Media

Ran on-site content days to start building out a library of job-site and portfolio photography and testimonial content for ongoing use.

Outcome

Bella now has accurate conversion tracking, a paid search account rebuilt around what actually works, and a growing list of qualified trade-partner leads across Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Bel Air, the Hollywood Hills, and neighboring coastal communities.

Client perspective
"I was referred to Cristiano at Freeform by another friend of mine. I had decent hopes because she spoke so highly but like many others I haven't had the best experiences with marketing companies. Being 100% honest, Freeform surprised the hell out of us. The first month or two it felt a little too good to be true, but these guys kept delivering at such a high level and I sincerely can't speak well enough of them. They've been working on our website, SEO, social media and raw outreach/relationship development. Chris and Stranton have a level of professionalism and detail in their work that inspired me to make changes in my own company. We have been ramping up from zero and they have stuck with us and it has started to really grow legs with bid requests coming in, new prospective clients reaching out through our website, etc. They took my OK website and turned it into a multimillion dollar looking professional site. I'm a big fan of Freeform — if you work with them, it'll be one of the best decisions you've made."
