Copywriting vs. Content Writing: What’s the Difference?
Most business owners know they need better marketing. Fewer know what kind of writing they actually need. One marketing agency
You’ve probably spent the last several years trying to climb to the top of Google. While traditional search is still critical, a new search channel is rapidly emerging.
AI-powered tools have created an entirely new competitive arena where companies can gain — or lose — visibility. To remain visible, your company must be prepared to compete in both environments.
Whether you’re excited about AI or skeptical of it, one thing is certain: It’s not a passing trend.

Millions of people use tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews to find and evaluate local businesses.

The businesses recommended by AI tools may gain visibility while others are overlooked.

Businesses that adjust early will start to see results while their competitors are still catching up.
The businesses that thrive in the next generation of search won’t necessarily be the largest companies or the ones spending the most money on marketing. They’ll be the companies that understand how people find information and make decisions online.
When your business is positioned for AI search, you can:
Simply put, you’ll be better prepared for the future of search and the opportunities that come with it.

I am no spring chicken, been immersed in digital marketing for 27 years and have no problem saying that Austin and team are as good as it gets. As a business partner and colleague these guys just GET it, they are skating to where the puck is going to go as Gretzky would say. Way ahead of the basic blocking and tackling I have been blown away by the discipline and expertise they have and bring to the table. If you are ready to crank up the lead machine you better put your seatbelt on!Posted on Google![]()

Austin and the team at ORB Tree Service Marketing truly set the standard for integrity and excellence in this industry. As someone who’s been around marketing long enough to see all kinds of operators, generalists agencies who are overpriced “gurus,” and plenty of folks just looking to make a quick buck off unsuspecting contractors, taking advantage of them. It’s rare to find a team this fair, this diligent, and this dedicated to their clients’ success. If you’re a tree service contractor, and you have been through the wringer, give ORB a try. These guys know your world inside and out. Austin’s process is transparent, his communication is honest, and his expertise shows in the results. He doesn’t oversell and is going to recommend what is best for you to help you grow your company. From start to finish, you’ll feel like you finally have a marketing partner instead of a vendor who gives you more work to do. They actually cares about helping you grow the right way and won't steer you wrong. Truly the best in the business for anyone serious about building a sustainable, high-performing tree service brand.Posted on Google![]()

I've been in business for 5 years and have always known the importance of SEO. I have paid thousands of dollars to other companies and have never had the results that Orb Solutions have given us. We have been working with Austin and his superstar team for less than a year and we already rank #1 in organic searches for multiple keywords. I don't think I have ever referred ANY company in ANY sector as passionately as I do ORB solutions. Trust them.Posted on Google![]()

Orb has a deep, deep knowledge of marketing and getting your company's information to the right customers. They walked us through the entire process of getting our marketing efforts kicked off, and we saw tangible returns from those efforts. For us this marketing stuff seems alien, so nice to have a guide who really knows what levers to pull.Posted on Google![]()

Still have questions? Here are answers to some of the most common questions tree service owners have about AI search and this book.
No. The principles discussed in this book can be applied by businesses of all sizes, from owner-operators and small crews to larger multi-location companies.
Not at all. The book is written specifically for tree service owners and managers, not software engineers. Complex concepts are explained in plain language with practical examples.
Probably not — at least, not completely. Traditional search engines will likely remain important for years to come. However, AI-powered search tools are changing the way people find information, making it important to understand both environments.
While the book does explain how AI-powered search works, it’s primarily focused on providing practical steps and strategies you can start using today.
Some technologies and tools will certainly change over time. However, the book focuses on the core principles of visibility, credibility, authority, and relevance that are likely to remain important regardless of how AI develops.
Yes. Homeowners are increasingly using AI-powered tools to research services, compare providers, and find local businesses. Understanding how these tools work can help ensure your company remains visible as search behavior continues to evolve.
Absolutely! AI tools are not necessarily looking for the biggest company or the largest marketing budget. They’re looking for businesses that demonstrate relevance, credibility, authority, and consistency.
The way homeowners find tree care companies is evolving. The businesses that understand those changes and adapt to them will be best positioned to remain visible, competitive, and relevant in the years ahead.
Climb to the Top provides the knowledge, strategies, and action steps you need to understand AI-powered search and prepare your business for the next generation of online visibility.
