Tree service advertising has a problem no other home service has. Demand is not steady. It arrives in bursts, usually after weather.
Spending the same amount every month is the most common mistake in this trade. Here is where the work comes from and when to push.
"Tree removal near me" returns a map of three companies. Being one of them is worth more than any paid channel.
Complete profile, correct categories, service area by town, before and after photos, and a steady flow of reviews.
Update your profile after storms with a post saying you are responding. Google favors recent activity and homeowners are searching that hour.
A large removal is a public event. Neighbors watch a crane in a front yard.
Two things capture that: a truck and crew that look professional, and a simple door hanger or card for the four or five nearest houses saying you are working on the street this week.
Tree work clusters geographically more than almost any trade. One job on a street should produce two more.

For high-ticket removals the economics can work better than for small trades, because one booked job covers many leads. Track cost per booked job, not cost per lead.
