9. How will I benefit by advertising on OhioLandscaping.com?
   We are always looking for better ways to promote your business! For instance:

   Our target marketing strategies are designed to encourage a large number of OHIO homeowners to our site. When a homeowner searches the internet for a landscaper, is your listing going to be buried in a nationwide list? Why spend your time and money trying to put your site at the top of every search when we already have? We have invested in our search engine ratings to ensure the most possible hits to our site...and to your listing! If you enter a keyword such as "New Albany Ohio landscaper" or "Dublin Ohio landscaper," we are the first site listed in Yahoo!, MSN, or Alta Vista. We are indexed in all the major search engines (see the list below) under a broad variety of landscaping topics (for instance, search for "landscape photos ohio").

   We provide custom web addresses that link directly to your portfolio. Why spend thousands of dollars and your precious time finding a designer, buying a domain name and hosting, optimizing for search engines, and then end up with an unprofessional looking site that doesn't display your work to its best advantage? Our clean, sleek design is attractive and professional...and we take care of the hassle of scanning, formatting, and posting your photos! And if writing isn't your forte, our marketing department will help you to craft language specifically to your needs!

   When we advertise our site, we are bringing homeowners to your listing! We distribute flyers and promotional materials to new neighborhoods and to garden supply and lawn care centers. We regularly place large ads in YOUR local newspapers! In fact, we will put your company name in our ad with the purchase of a premium listing!*
