More Clicks - More Calls

If you want more local customers, you need two things working at the same time: trust and action. ShakeTheTreeMarketing.com handles the action by turning visitors into calls and quote requests. Your short-form video builds trust by showing your brand in motion and keeping you top of mind.

What ShakeTheTreeMarketing.com does
Your website should do one job. Get calls and quote requests. When a customer lands on your site, they should know three things fast: what you do, where you do it, and how to reach you. A strong homepage does this with a clear headline and service area, call and quote buttons, a simple services list, real proof with reviews and photos, and a contact form that promises a fast response. When you stack those basics, your site stops being a brochure and starts being a lead tool.

What the YouTube Short does for your marketing
Your short titled “Shake the Tree Marketing 1” supports the brand message and keeps attention on your business. People scroll fast, so short videos work best when they do one thing: reinforce who you are and what you help with. When someone watches your video, then searches your name, your website needs to match the same tone and message. Consistency increases clicks, calls, and form fills.

How to connect the short to your website so it produces leads

1. Put the short on your homepage. Add a “Watch how we help local businesses” section and embed the video.

2. Add a clear call to action next to the video. Use one line like “Request a free homepage preview” with a button.

3. Link the short back to your website. In the YouTube description and pinned comment, add your website and a simple next step: “Request a free homepage preview.”

4. Turn the short into a repeatable series. Post one short each week tied to one website problem you solve, like speed, calls, reviews, or Google visibility.

What to track so you know it works

1. Website clicks from YouTube. Use a tracked link so you know traffic came from the short.

2. Calls and form fills after posting days. Compare the 48 hours after you post a short to the prior 48 hours.

3. Contact page views and button clicks. If people watch and visit but do not click, your call to action needs tightening.

ShakeTheTreeMarketing.com: A Simple Marketing System for Local Businesses

ShakeTheTreeMarketing.com exists for one reason: help local service businesses get more calls and quote requests with a clear online presence. Most owners stay busy doing the work. The problem starts when a customer searches on Google, lands on a slow website, and cannot find a fast way to call or request a quote. I built Shake The Tree Marketing to fix that with a simple, repeatable system.

1. A website built to convert
   Your website should do more than look good. It should guide a visitor to take action. On ShakeTheTreeMarketing.com, you will see the same structure I build for clients: a clear headline with service area, call and quote buttons, a clean services section, proof with reviews and photos, and a short contact form. Every section supports one outcome: more leads.

2. A Google Business Profile that shows up and builds trust
   A strong website does not help if customers cannot find you. Your Google Business Profile often becomes your first impression. I help you clean up categories, services, service areas, hours, and photos. I also help you earn reviews with a simple process you can follow every week. When your profile looks complete and active, you get more calls from local searches.

3. Follow-up that turns interest into booked work
   Many small businesses lose jobs because they respond late or stop after one message. I set up follow-up that keeps your leads moving. You get a simple system for calls, texts, and email so every lead gets a fast response and a clear next step. Speed and clarity win.

What you get when you work with me
Step 1: I build a free homepage draft for your business.
Step 2: We meet for 10 to 15 minutes on Google Meet. I share my screen and walk you through the draft.
Step 3: You choose what happens next. If you like it, we finalize edits and publish. If you pass, you keep the ideas and layout.

If you own a local service business and you want more calls and quote requests, visit ShakeTheTreeMarketing.com and request a free homepage preview.

How a Small Business Website Should Work in 2026

Your website has one job in 2026: get calls and quote requests. People search on their phone, skim fast, and choose the business that feels clear and easy to contact. If your site looks good but fails to convert, you lose work.

One job: get calls and quote requests
Your homepage should guide a visitor to one of two actions: call you or request a quote. Everything else supports those actions. If a customer has to hunt for your phone number, guess your service area, or read five paragraphs before they know what you do, you will lose them.

Five must-have blocks on the homepage

1. Clear headline with your service area
   Your headline should say what you do and where you do it. This removes confusion and builds trust fast.
   Example: “Landscaping and Hardscapes in Mebane, NC. Fast Quotes and Weekly Updates.”
   If you serve multiple towns, list the main one in the headline and add the others in a short line under it.

2. Call and quote buttons that stay obvious
   Put a Call Now button and a Request a Quote button near the top. On mobile, a call button should dial with one tap. If you want more leads, make the quote button go to a short form, not a long page.

3. Simple services list
   Do not hide your services in menus. List your core services on the homepage in a clean section. Use plain language.
   Example: Lawn care, mulch, retaining walls, drainage, patio installs.
   If you do many things, list your top 6 to 8 services, then add a link to “View all services.”

4. Proof: reviews and photos
   Customers want proof before they call. Add a review section with real Google reviews and include recent photos of your work. Before and after photos work well. If you have a team, include one photo of you or your crew so people know you are local and real.

5. Contact form with a fast response promise
   Your form should feel easy. Ask for name, phone, and what they need. Add one clear promise under the button, such as: “We respond within 1 business hour” or “Same-day call back.” Then follow through. Speed wins.

What to remove from most small business websites

1. Sliders
   Image sliders slow sites down and people skip them. Use one strong hero image and one clear message.

2. Long paragraphs
   People do not read walls of text. Break copy into short lines and small sections. Use bullets and simple headings.

3. Too many menus
   Most small business sites do not need 10 menu items. Keep it tight: Home, Services, Reviews, About, Contact. You can add a Gallery if photos drive your business.

What to track so you know the site works

1. Calls
   Track how many calls you get from the website and from Google. If you are not tracking calls, you are guessing.

2. Form fills
   Track how many quote requests come in. If the number is low, your form might ask for too much or your buttons are not clear.

3. Direction requests
   If you have a location, direction requests from Google can signal strong buying intent. Track them weekly and connect them to what you changed on your profile and site.

If you want, I will build a free homepage draft for your business and show you exactly how these blocks look on your site. Message me “Preview” and tell me your business name, your service area city, and your phone number.

More Clicks - More Calls

Most small businesses do not lose work because they lack skill. They lose work because customers cannot find clear info fast, or they call and never get a clean next step. Shake The Tree Marketing fixes that with a simple system: a website that converts, a Google Business Profile that shows up, and follow-up that turns missed chances into booked jobs.

1. Website that drives calls and quote requests
   You get a clean homepage built to convert. I set up clear headlines, service areas, proof (photos and reviews), and strong call to action buttons. Your site loads fast on mobile and makes it easy for a customer to call, request a quote, or book a visit.

2. Google Business Profile setup and optimization
   If your Google profile is weak or incomplete, you will not show up when local customers search. I clean up your categories, services, hours, service areas, photos, and description. I also help you build a simple review plan so your profile earns trust.

3. Follow-up that keeps leads from falling through
   Most businesses miss jobs because they do not respond fast or they stop following up after the first message. I help you set up a basic follow-up system for calls, texts, and email so customers get a fast response and a clear next step.

How the process works
Step 1: I build a free homepage draft for your business.
Step 2: We do a 10 to 15 minute Google Meet. I share my screen and walk you through the layout.
Step 3: If you like it, we lock in edits and publish. If you want changes, I update the draft.
