Aaron's take

Artificial turf buyers are usually trying to solve a problem with a real lawn: drought, water bills, dogs, shade or simply no time to mow. "Artificial grass" gets about 33,100 searches a month in the US and "artificial turf" about 27,100, and related searches show the main uses: pet turf, putting greens and backyard lawns.

The turf companies that win online explain the difference between turf products honestly, show lots of finished yards, give real price ranges per square foot, and have dedicated pages for pets and putting greens. Demand is strongly seasonal, peaking from April to June, so content needs to be ready by early spring.

Your website

Pages your website needs

In the order I would build them. Each page targets one group of searches.

  1. Residential turf page

    Explain products, installation and how long turf lasts.

  2. Pet turf page

    About 9,900 searches a month for artificial grass for dogs. Explain drainage and odour control.

  3. Putting greens page

    About 12,100 searches a month. A high-value project with its own buyers.

  4. Cost page

    Explain price per square foot and what affects it, such as base preparation.

  5. Turf versus real grass page

    Many buyers are comparing. Be honest about pros and cons.

  6. Gallery of finished yards

    Buyers choose by look. Show real installs.

What to get right

  • The artificial turf companies I found in Google's listings data mostly used Turf supplier as their primary category, often adding Landscaper and Landscape designer.
  • Say "artificial turf installation" clearly in your description, since Turf supplier alone suggests selling, not installing.
  • Upload photos of finished yards, pet areas and putting greens.
  • Ask customers to mention the project type in their reviews.

Reviews

Reviews that matter for artificial turf installers

Where reviews count

  • Google
  • Yelp
  • Houzz
  • Angi
  • Ask every customer, not only the happy ones, right after the job is done.
  • Send one short message with a direct link, so leaving a review takes a single tap.
  • Reply to every review, good or bad, calmly and specifically.
  • Never pay for reviews or offer anything in return. It breaks Google's rules.

Ads and SEO

Local Services Ads, Google Ads and SEO

Artificial Turf Installers can't use Local Services Ads, so paid search means Google Ads. Ads bring leads within days but stop the moment you stop paying. SEO takes months to build, then keeps working. Most businesses run ads for the most valuable searches while SEO grows, then shift budget as organic rankings take over.

For context, Google search ads in the Home & Home Improvement category average $90.92 per lead (LocaliQ, 2026). That is a search ads benchmark, not a Local Services Ads lead price.

Mistakes

Mistakes artificial turf installers make

  1. No price guidance

    Turf is a big purchase. Price ranges per square foot help buyers decide.

  2. Ignoring pet owners

    Pet turf is a major use with its own searches. Give it its own page.

  3. Stock photos

    Buyers want to see real yards. Use your own photos.

  4. Missing spring

    Demand peaks from April to June. Be ready by early spring.

FAQ

Artificial Turf SEO questions

What do people search for when buying artificial turf?

Mostly the product and its uses. In the US, "artificial grass" gets about 33,100 searches a month, "artificial turf" about 27,100 and "putting green" about 12,100. Pet turf is a major use too. Pages for each use, with prices and real photos, bring in the most buyers.

Can artificial turf companies use Local Services Ads?

Artificial turf is not a separate Local Services Ads category on Google's US list. Landscaping services is, so a company that also does landscaping may appear there. Otherwise, SEO, photos and reviews are the main ways to show up in local searches.

What Google Business Profile category should a turf installer use?

The artificial turf companies I found in Google's listings data mostly used Turf supplier, often adding Landscaper and Landscape designer. Since Turf supplier suggests selling, say "artificial turf installation" clearly in your description and services. Add photos of finished installs so the profile clearly shows installation work.

When do people search for artificial turf?

In the US, artificial turf searches peak from April to June and are lowest in December and January, with the busiest month about 1.9 times the quietest. New galleries, pages and reviews should be ready by early spring. Winter is a good time to update your gallery and collect reviews from the past season.

How much does SEO cost for an artificial turf company?

There is no single price. The main factors are your local competition, the number of services and towns you want to show up for, and how much your current site needs fixing. Monthly work suits most turf companies, since rankings keep improving with new content and reviews. I give a fixed quote after reviewing your site and competitors.
