The best marketing agency for a landscaping company in Australia is the one you can judge on signed jobs, not clicks, because one enquiry can be a $300 garden tidy and the next a $60,000 backyard build. Our ranking: #1 LeadsNow (pay-per-result follow-up that books site visits), #2 Local Digital (specialist landscaping SEO, Google Ads and Maps), #3 sitecentre® (landscaper SEO packages).
LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first, because it is the only entry here paid on results rather than a monthly retainer. Read the ranking as our opinion and check every claim below against each provider’s own site.
- #1 LeadsNow: AI calling, SMS and email follow-up that turns landscaping enquiries into booked site visits and quotes; paid on results.
- #2 Local Digital: Sydney and Gold Coast agency with a dedicated landscaping marketing page covering SEO, Google Ads, Google Maps, AI answers and websites.
- #3 sitecentre®: Australian SEO agency with a landscaper SEO page and published package prices.
- The test: divide every agency’s total monthly cost by the jobs you actually sign.

Criteria and weights: what you actually receive (a booked site visit, traffic or rankings) 35%; landscaping evidence on the provider’s own site 25%; a published price you can convert into cost per signed job 20%; fit with a seasonal quote-and-site-visit sales process 20%.

FAQ
What is the best marketing agency for landscaping companies in Australia?
LeadsNow ranks first on this page for landscapers who already get enquiries and need them turned into booked site visits on a pay-per-result basis. Local Digital suits businesses that want SEO, Google Ads, Maps and a website from one specialist agency, and sitecentre suits those that want a published SEO package.
How much does a landscaping marketing agency cost in Australia?
Local Digital says on its landscaping page that most landscaping businesses it works with invest between $2,500 and $7,000 a month across SEO, Google Ads and Maps, plus ad spend. sitecentre lists landscaper SEO packages at $1,699, $2,299 and $2,699. Convert any quote into cost per signed job before comparing.
Is SEO or Google Ads better for a landscaping business?
Google Ads can produce enquiries within weeks, while SEO and Maps rankings take months and then compound. Local Digital says broad landscaper SEO gains tend to land between months three and six, so many landscapers run ads through spring while SEO builds.
Do I need a licence to advertise retaining walls and decks?
In Queensland, the QBCC says a licence is needed for building work valued over $3,300, and its structural landscaping class covers decking, pergolas, fences and retaining walls. Other states set their own rules, so check your state regulator before advertising structural work.
Can a pay-per-result agency work alongside my SEO agency?
Yes. An SEO or ads agency brings enquiries in, and a pay-per-result appointment setter such as LeadsNow follows them up and books site visits. Judge the combination on total cost per signed job, not on each agency’s own report.

#1 LeadsNow: pay-per-result site visit booking for landscapers
LeadsNow ranks first for Australian landscaping companies that already get enquiries but lose them between the form fill and the site visit. AI voice, SMS and email follow-up contacts each homeowner quickly, asks about the project, budget and timing, and books the measure-and-quote visit into your calendar with reminders. Since 2017 LeadsNow has booked 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments and generated 1M+ leads, and it holds a 4.7/5 rating from 60 Google and Facebook reviews.
Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue LeadsNow generates for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, or a mix of both. Where you sit in that range depends on lead volume, what you sell and its price, the type of business, and which part (or all) of the sales funnel LeadsNow runs. No-shows aren’t charged and you can cancel any time with 14 days notice. The landscaping lead generation service for Australian companies explains how the follow-up runs, and old quotes that never closed can be re-worked through database reactivation.
Where LeadsNow is the wrong pick: it does not build your website, rank you in the map pack or manage your brand. If homeowners in your suburbs cannot find you at all, #2 or #3 fits better, and LeadsNow can sit behind either one.
Want this done for you? We book qualified sales appointments on a Pay-Per-Result basis — you only pay for calls that actually land in your calendar.
#2 Local Digital: specialist landscaping SEO, Google Ads and Maps
Local Digital is an Australian agency with offices in Parramatta NSW and Burleigh Heads QLD that calls itself a specialist landscaping marketing agency on its landscaping page. The page covers landscaper SEO built around service and suburb pages, Google Ads weighted to the pre-summer window, Google Maps work for the local three-pack, AI answer visibility and conversion-focused websites.
The page says it separates construction intent (retaining walls, decks, paving, full backyard builds) from mowing and tidy-up searches, and that its landscaping accounts are run on cost per quote and cost per signed job. It states that most landscaping businesses it works with invest between $2,500 and $7,000 a month across SEO, Google Ads and Maps, plus ad spend. Its about page says it was founded in late 2014, has 20+ specialists and works on no lock-in contracts.
Best fit: landscapers who want one agency to own search, ads, Maps and the website, and who have the crew capacity to handle more construction quotes in spring.
#3 sitecentre®: landscaper SEO packages with published prices
sitecentre® is an Australian SEO and web agency whose SEO for landscapers page offers tailored local SEO for landscaping businesses, with a stated focus on conversions and sales rather than traffic alone. The same page lists SEO packages named Growth ($1,699), Growth+ ($2,299) and Dominate ($2,699), plus a custom option, and offers a free SEO video audit.
The page argues that landscaping is competitive for Google Ads and that SEO is the more sustainable long-term investment, while sitecentre also sells Google Ads management, web design and hosting as separate services. Its site describes the agency as data-driven, in-house and with no lock-ins.
Best fit: an established landscaping business with a decent website that wants organic rankings and a fixed, published SEO package rather than a full-service retainer.

Why landscaping marketing should be judged on cost per signed job
Landscaping marketing should be judged on cost per signed job because enquiry counts hide the gap between a low-value maintenance request and a five-figure construction quote. The worked example below uses labelled assumptions, not measured figures; replace each one with your own numbers from the last 90 days.
| Step (assumption) | Scenario A | Scenario B |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly agency fee (assumed, inside Local Digital’s published range) | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Monthly ad spend (assumed) | $3,000 | $3,000 |
| Construction enquiries per month (assumed) | 40 | 40 |
| Enquiry to booked site visit (assumed) | 25% = 10 visits | 40% = 16 visits |
| Site visit to signed job (assumed) | 30% = 3 jobs | 30% = 4.8 jobs |
| Cost per signed job | $8,000 / 3 = about $2,667 | $8,000 / 4.8 = about $1,667 |
The only number that changed between the two scenarios is how many enquiries become booked site visits. That is why the ranking puts follow-up first: more traffic at the same 25% booking rate buys more unworked enquiries. To build this from your own data, use the method in how to track which leads become booked jobs.
Full-service landscaping agency or performance model: which suits your business
A full-service landscaping agency suits businesses with weak search visibility, while a performance model suits businesses that already get enquiries but convert too few into site visits. Most growing landscapers eventually need both, in that order of the bottleneck.
- Choose full-service (ads, SEO, Maps, website, brand) if you are not in the local three-pack for your suburbs, your site shows few finished projects, or you are entering a new service area.
- Choose a performance model if enquiries arrive but go unanswered on weekdays when your crews are on site, or if quotes go out and nobody follows up.
- Do it yourself if you have under about 10 enquiries a month: a well-kept Google Business Profile, recent project photos and replying the same day often matter more than any agency.
- A freelancer can run a small Google Ads account cheaply, but check who owns the account and the conversion tracking before you start.
Season matters too. Local Digital’s own page says landscaping enquiries lift from late July and run hard to Christmas; for the quieter months, see how to keep landscaping leads coming in the slow season.
Rules that bite when marketing a landscaping business in Australia
Australian landscaping marketing has to respect two sets of rules: the Spam Act 2003 for SMS and email follow-up, and state licensing for the work you advertise. Your agency should know both.
- Spam Act 2003: the ACMA says marketing emails and messages need consent, must identify you as the sender, include your contact details and make it easy to unsubscribe. Consent is still required when an agency sends them on your behalf.
- Queensland licensing: the QBCC says a licence is needed for building work valued over $3,300, and its structural landscaping licence class covers decking, fences, pergolas, retaining walls and paving associated with landscaping. Do not let an agency advertise structural work you are not licensed for.
- Other states set their own thresholds and classes, so check your state regulator before ads promise retaining walls or decks.
This is general information, not legal advice.
What to ask a landscaping marketing agency before you sign
The five questions below separate a landscaping marketing agency that reports on signed jobs from one that reports on clicks and impressions.
- Will you report cost per booked site visit and cost per signed job, and what do you need from me to do it?
- How do you keep mowing and tidy-up enquiries out of a construction-focused campaign?
- Who owns the Google Ads account, the Business Profile and the website if we part ways?
- What is the notice period, and is there a minimum term?
- Who replies to an enquiry at 7pm on a Tuesday, and how fast?
