An SEO plus AI Overviews, Google Ads and Google Business Profile programme for True Roots. When someone across St George, the Sutherland Shire or greater Sydney searches for tree removal, an emergency make-safe or an arborist report, this puts True Roots in front of them at the exact moment they are ready to book, and turns that attention into phone calls and quote requests you can count. You have built a serious operation with the reviews to prove it. Now let's make sure Sydney finds it first.
Tree work is bought in two ways. Some of it is planned, a homeowner in Oatley or Menai finally deciding the big gum out the back has to come down, a strata manager booking a vegetation report. A lot of it is urgent, a branch through the fence after a storm, a tree on the powerlines, a make-safe that needs sorting today. In almost every one of those moments, the customer reaches for their phone and searches. True Roots has AQF Level 5 arborists, $20M in public liability, ISO 9001 certification, ten years on Sydney sites and a 5.0 rating from 64 reviews. The opportunity is to make sure True Roots is the name that shows up first when those searches happen.
So this proposal is deliberately focused on the channels that win high-intent search: Google Ads targeted on the St George and Sutherland Shire heartland and out across Sydney, SEO plus AI Overviews building lasting visibility you do not pay per click for, and Google Business Profile work to own the map pack and the "near me" searches that convert fastest. Social sits alongside as something you run yourself, and we hand you the strategy to do it.
This is a single programme covering the search channels that work together. Google Ads buys you the top of the page from day one for the highest-intent searches. SEO plus AI Overviews builds the free, lasting visibility underneath it. Google Business Profile wins the map pack and the "near me" searches. All run by the same in-house Fresh Digital team and rolled into one plain-English monthly report. Social is set out separately below as something you run yourself, with our strategy.
Paid search puts True Roots at the very top of Google the moment someone searches for tree work. We focus the budget on your St George and Sutherland Shire heartland, then out across the Sydney suburbs where the volume and the higher-value jobs are, so every dollar of ad spend chases real, nearby, ready-to-book demand rather than spraying across all of NSW.
Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO compounds. We take a two-layer approach: target the broad, Sydney-wide terms ("tree removal Sydney", "arborist Sydney") to build authority across the city, while suburb-level SEO works underneath to win the local and "near me" searches that convert fastest. Your service and suburb pages, and the tree-removal-cost and council pages you already have, give us a strong base to build on. Over time this lowers your reliance on paid clicks.
When someone searches "arborist near me" or "tree removal Cronulla", Google shows the map pack first, the three local businesses with a pin, a rating and a call button. Your Mortdale-based profile and that 5.0 from 64 reviews are exactly what wins that spot. We manage and optimise it so True Roots shows up, looks credible and is the easiest one to call.
Google now answers questions at the top of the page with AI Overviews, and more people ask tools like ChatGPT "who is the best arborist near me?" or "do I need council approval to remove a tree in the Sutherland Shire?" We structure your content so True Roots is named in those answers, not buried below them. Your tree-removal-cost and council pages are perfect raw material for this. It runs on the same foundations as the SEO work, so you build for both at once. Section 03 explains why this matters now.
You already have the accounts and, more importantly, the best raw content in the business: AQF5 climbers in the canopy, the chipper running, powerline take-downs, big before-and-afters, the one-crew tree-to-garden transformations. No agency can manufacture that. Run it yourself and it will out-perform anything paid or staged. Here is the strategy we would hand you.
We will give you a simple one-page content calendar to get going, at no charge. It costs nothing but ten minutes a day, it stays authentic, and it compounds. If you ever decide you would rather hand it over, we can talk about a managed option then, but our honest advice is to keep this one in-house.
The core programme is search. Google Ads, SEO plus AI Overviews and Google Business Profile are what bring the calls and booked jobs, and that is where the spend goes. There is no website rebuild and no paid social management in this scope. Everything is rolled into a single, plain-English monthly report, no jargon, no smoke and mirrors.
Google now answers questions directly at the top of the page with AI Overviews, and more people ask tools like ChatGPT "who is a good arborist near me?" or "do I need council approval to remove a tree in the Sutherland Shire?" Getting True Roots named as that answer is called Answer Engine Optimisation, and it runs on the same foundations as the SEO and Google Business Profile work, so you build for all of them at once.
More searches now end without a click, because Google or an AI tool answered the question on the spot. The businesses that get mentioned in those answers are the ones with clear, well-structured content. Tree-removal rules across the Georges River and Sutherland Shire councils generate a constant stream of "do I need approval?" and "what does it cost?" searches, and you already have pages on exactly those topics. Getting ahead of this now means True Roots is the name that comes up, whether the customer is on Google or asking an assistant. This work is included alongside the SEO programme.
No black box and no inflated promises. This calculator models the simple economics of paid search for a Sydney arborist: ad spend buys clicks, clicks become quote requests and calls, and a share of those become booked jobs. Drag the sliders to your own numbers and see how the maths plays out. The assumptions start conservative on purpose.
Built around your Google Ads channel. The $1,290 monthly management fee covers Google Ads, SEO plus AI Overviews and Google Business Profile, and it is included in the return below. Your SEO and GBP results build on top of this over time at no extra click cost, so think of these figures as the paid-search floor, not the ceiling.
These figures are an illustration only, based on adjustable assumptions, and are not a guarantee of results. Total monthly cost combines your chosen ad spend plus the $1,290 + GST management fee. Actual clicks, enquiries, close rate and job values will vary with season, competition, your follow-up speed and the work you take on. SEO, AI Overviews and Google Business Profile results are not included in this model and accrue separately over time. Ad spend is billed directly to Google and is never marked up.
No black box. From the first call to ongoing growth, you always know what we're doing, why, and what it's returning in calls and booked jobs.

The bottom line. A single $1,290 + GST per month management fee covers SEO plus AI Overviews, Google Ads and Google Business Profile, run and reported as one programme. On top of that sits your Google ad spend, paid straight to Google and never marked up, which you can set and adjust to match how many jobs you want and how big your crews are. Social stays in-house and yours to run, with our strategy behind it. Month to month, cancel any time with 30 days notice.
All fees are quoted in Australian Dollars and are exclusive of GST. The management fee is $1,290 + GST per month, covering SEO plus AI Overviews, Google Ads management and Google Business Profile, invoiced on the same date each month. Google advertising spend is additional, billed directly to Google by the client and never marked up by Fresh Digital. There is no setup fee and no lock-in: the engagement is month to month with 30 days notice to cancel. Performance figures, including those in the ROI calculator, are objectives and illustrations based on current data and are not guarantees. This proposal is valid for 30 days from issue.
