Industries / Hardscaping companies

Marketing for hardscaping companies that ends with the phone ringing.

Before anyone hires a hardscaper for a paver patio or retaining wall, they check two things: who shows up first on Google, and who has the most reviews. The work itself comes third.

A real person reads every message.

Where the jobs go

Where hardscaping companies lose work without knowing it.

Hardscape jobs are sold on photos. If a homeowner cannot see patios like the one they want, they call the company that shows them.

Paying for shared leads

Lead sites charge you for a "lead" that four other hardscaper businesses also got. Whoever calls first wins, and you paid either way.

The better company loses

The hardscaper with more reviews and photos gets the call, even when your work is better. Homeowners cannot see your work, only your listing.

ChatGPT picks three names

Homeowners planning a paver patio or retaining wall now ask ChatGPT who to hire. It names two or three local companies. Being one of them is a new job, and almost nobody is doing it yet.

What Vita does

What Vita does for a hardscaper.

Everything a marketing hire would do, for $69/mo. You run it by text.

A website built to be found

A fast site with a page for every service and every town you work in, written around what customers actually search, like "paver patio installers" and "retaining wall contractor". You see it before you pay anything.

Named by Google and ChatGPT

Your Google profile filled out and kept active with photos and posts from your real jobs, and the details AI assistants use when someone asks for a hardscaper.

Every missed call gets a text back

When you cannot pick up, the caller gets a text within seconds that answers their question and gets the job details, so they do not call the next hardscaper.

Reviews from customers you already have

Your past customers get a personal thank-you that asks for a review, and the happy ones leave one. It is the fastest way to catch up to the hardscaper with more stars.

What your customers type

  • “paver patio installers”
  • “retaining wall contractor”
  • “hardscaping near me”
  • “outdoor kitchen builder”

Your site and profile get built around searches like these, in every town you serve.

Questions

Questions hardscaping companies ask us.

How do hardscaping companies get more customers from Google?

Three things move a hardscaper up on Google: a complete, active Google Business Profile, a steady flow of recent reviews, and a website with a page for each service and town you work in. Vita does all three for you. For context, the median hardscaper we looked at had 16 reviews, so even a few new ones a month makes a visible difference.

How do I get my hardscaper business recommended by ChatGPT?

ChatGPT and other AI assistants recommend businesses they can find clear, consistent information about across the web: your website, your Google profile, your reviews and other listings. Vita builds and keeps those consistent, and checks what ChatGPT says about you in your area.

What does Vita cost for a hardscaper?

$69/mo for everything, with two weeks free first. We build your website before you pay anything, there is no contract, and if you cancel you keep the website.

Do I need to learn new software?

No. You run it by text, the way you would run anyone who works for you. Nothing public goes out without your okay.
