THE BACKSTORY
The Thompson’s family already had Florida’s premium sod brand running on its own domain. But the landscape-supply side — mulch, rock, pine straw, drainage, full installs — deserved its own digital storefront with its own voice, its own customer journey, and its own SEO foundation.
Imperium built tlsflorida.com from a clean slate to serve the supply and installation customer specifically — bigger budget, bigger jobs, longer decision window. Different audience, different pages, different proof points.
THE EARLY RESULT
THE BUILD
A custom WordPress build engineered for the way landscape-supply customers actually shop: by material, by job size, by delivery zone. Big imagery. Clear pricing logic. A coverage calculator that does real math instead of generic estimates.
The site indexes fast, ranks for the queries that matter, and pre-qualifies leads before the phone rings — so when the team picks up, the customer already knows what they need and roughly what they’ll spend.
THE SCOPE
New domain, new design, new content architecture from scratch — built for the supply customer, not retrofitted from the sod brand.
Mulch, rock, pine straw, sod, soil — each with its own deep page covering pricing, coverage, and delivery zones.
Dedicated landing page for drainage installs — already pulling impressions for “landscape drainage gainesville fl”.
Rank Math, schema, location-keyword optimization. Search visibility climbed 481.7% over the first 28 days.
The custom calculator. 100% engagement rate. 3 minutes 38 seconds average session. See the moat section below.
Clean call-and-quote path. The Contact page hits 100% engagement — visitors arrive with intent.
THE MOAT
Generic volume calculators come from plugin marketplaces. The TLS Florida Coverage Estimator is something else. We sat with the team and walked through how they actually price — square footage, depth, material type, delivery zone — and built a tool that returns a real number based on real inputs.
SEO. The estimator is its own indexable, keyword-rich page that ranks for transactional searches the contact form never could.
Engagement. Visitors spend an average of 3 minutes 38 seconds on it with a 100% engagement rate — not skimming, actually using it.
Lead Quality. By the time someone clicks “Get a Free Quote,” they already know roughly what they’re spending. The team picks up calls from people who are ready to move, not browse.
TRUSTED WITH BOTH BUSINESSES
Imperium also built and runs gainesvillesod.com, the Thompson’s family’s premium sod brand. Same craft. Different audience. Both up and to the right.
