Today Scott Molchan breaks down why landscapers keep chasing leads that never call — and how fixing your foundation (Google Business Profile, website, reviews) makes every marketing dollar actually work.

You want more jobs, but most marketing fails because contractors skip the basics. In this episode Scott asks the simple question every landscaping business owner should answer: if someone Googled you right now, would you want them to see what shows up? He explains how referrals, door-knocking, and social posts still send people to Google — and why reviews and a legit website are what turn curiosity into a real phone call.

You’ll get a clear, no-fluff stack to follow: Google Business Profile → simple website → reviews → social proof → ads. Scott shares why ads don’t work without that foundation, what to fix first, and quick wins that build trust so prospects actually call. Perfect for landscaping and lawn-care business owners who want better clients, fewer wasted ad dollars, and more reliable leads.

Scott dives into the frustration of "What should I charge?" Facebook posts and explains why guessing—or asking strangers—is a recipe for burnout in your landscaping business.

We’ve all seen it: a landscaper posts a photo of a project and asks what they should charge, only to get a "dumpster fire" of sarcastic responses. In this episode, Scott gets real about why these posts are actually a cry for help and how relying on blind advice from strangers who don't know your overhead, labor costs, or business goals is a dangerous way to run a company.

You’ll learn why "knowing your numbers" isn't just a cliché—it’s the difference between feeling relieved when a customer says "yes" and feeling truly confident in your profit margins. Scott challenges you to stop treating pricing like a guessing game and start building a pricing system that actually supports your life, not just your schedule. If you’re tired of working 70-hour weeks only to wonder where the money went, it’s time to trade the "panic response" for real clarity.

If you were booked out all season but still felt stressed about money, the problem isn’t your prices—it’s the story you’re telling yourself about them.

Most landscapers think raising prices means losing work or that the "market" decides what they can charge. But the market doesn’t know your overhead, your payroll, or how exhausted you are by mid-August. In this episode, Scott breaks down why pricing based on your competitors isn’t a strategy—it’s just a way to avoid taking control of your own profit.

We’re diving into the four most dangerous beliefs that keep landscaping businesses "fragile," from the "busy is good" trap to the lie that you can fix your numbers "later." You’ll learn how to shift from survival-mode guessing to ownership questions, specifically asking: Does this job actually support the business I’m trying to build?

Stop guessing, stop copying the guy down the street, and start making decisions based on facts instead of feelings. If you want 2026 to be the year you finally get paid what you’re worth, it starts with getting clear on your numbers right now while the season is slow.
