Woodchuck's Arbor Care – Website Launch & Local SEO for Tree Service Experts in Collegeville, PA

Client Challenge

After 40 years of building reputation through word-of-mouth, Woodchucks Arbor Care was losing emergency tree service calls to competitors who dominated Google searches in Collegeville, PA. Despite their expertise, potential customers couldn't find them online during critical storm situations.

Woodchuck's Arbor Care provides residential & commercial tree services—removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup—throughout Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania. Their 40-year reputation meant leads were largely word-of-mouth, leaving digital potential untapped while competitors captured emergency calls online.
