For Landscaping & Design-Build

Big projects start online. Get found first.

Homeowners planning a patio, a full landscape, or a hardscape project research it online for weeks before they call — asking Google and AI “best landscaper near me.” If a rival owns that answer, you never get the project. ScoutRival shows you where you’re invisible and publishes the content that wins it.

Your morning brief · #1 actionPublish “How much does a paver patio cost in Raleigh?” — the exact question homeowners research for weeks before they call a designer.
01The problem

High-ticket projects — researched for weeks before the call.

Design-build and hardscape work is expensive and considered. Homeowners research online first, and the company they find and trust wins the project — often before a competitor even knows it exists.

Up from 6% a year ago. If ChatGPT names a rival landscaper for your city, you’re not in the running for the project.

Owner designs, sells, and “does the marketing.”
Margins on real design-build are good, but there’s no time to write project content or track rivals — so the best projects go elsewhere.

Illustrative scenario

A patio project at Evergreen Landscapes

The pattern every design-build owner knows — and how it breaks. (scroll)

1
Marcus · owner
A homeowner planning a paver patio researches for weeks and asks ChatGPT “best landscaper in Raleigh for a patio.” Evergreen isn’t named — Stoneworks is. That $20k project goes to Stoneworks.
2
The gap
Marcus relies on referrals and a portfolio site. Nothing tells him “are we in the AI answer, and what is Stoneworks publishing that we aren’t?”
3
ScoutRival · morning brief
Marcus runs a free scan: 41/100. The brief shows Stoneworks owns the AI answer and posted 3 project guides. Action #1: “Publish a ‘paver patio cost in Raleigh’ guide.” BlogCraft drafts it; Marcus approves; one click to WordPress.
✓
Through the next research cycle
His guides are indexed and getting cited. When homeowners research their projects, Evergreen is found throughout — winning the high-ticket design-build work he wants.

09FAQ

The honest answers.

Do you sell landscaping leads?
No — we’re the opposite of a lead marketplace. ScoutRival helps you own the searches and AI answers so homeowners find you throughout their research, at $0 per lead.
Does the content really help me get found?
Publishing the guides homeowners actually research (“paver patio cost,” “landscape design process {city}”) is what earns Google rankings and AI citations over time. We can’t promise a #1 spot on a date — nobody honest can — but we show you the gaps and give you the content to close them.
Is the “AI rank” a real number?
AI answers aren’t a fixed leaderboard — ask the same question twice and the list often changes. We measure it honestly: repeated prompts across ChatGPT (web-grounded, with citations) and Gemini (a memory probe), turned into a weighted 0–100 score with a confidence band. A real measurement, not a made-up rank.
I’m not techy. Can I run this?
If you can read a text and tap approve, you can run it. The brief tells you the one thing to do, the AI drafts it, and publishing is one button. Most owners spend about 15 minutes a day.
Which AI engines do you actually check?
Two: ChatGPT (web-grounded, so it cites live sources) and Gemini (a “memory probe” — what the model already believes, no citations). They’re deliberately different signals, and we label which is which. We don’t claim to track “every AI” — no honest tool can — we measure the grounded answers your customers are most likely to see.
How soon will I show up in AI?
Honestly: it compounds, and nobody can promise a date. Publishing the content that answers your buyers’ questions is what earns citations over the following weeks — some businesses see movement in a few weeks, some longer. What you get on day one is the measurement: exactly which prompts you’re missing and the actions most likely to change it. Anyone promising an overnight “#1 in ChatGPT” is guessing.
Can I cancel, and is there a guarantee?
Yes to both — cancel anytime, no lock-in, and there’s a 14-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. You can also start on the free plan and never pay a cent until it’s earning its keep.
