In the high-end world of landscape design, aesthetics and reputation are everything, but if potential clients can’t find you online, business opportunities are lost.
That was the challenge for Todd Haiman Landscape Design, a top-tier landscape design firm in New York City. Despite their stellar portfolio and reputation, their website was barely getting any organic traffic.
With the right SEO strategy and effective AI SEO in only three months of focused work we helped them go from invisible in search to being recognized not only by Google, but also by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
About the client: Todd Haiman Landscape Design
Todd Haiman Landscape Design is a boutique landscape design studio offering high-end services to residential and commercial clients in New York City. Their work is known for its artistic flair, thoughtful use of space, and sustainable design principles.
The challenge: Competing in New York’s luxury design domain
The NYC market is saturated with long-established landscape design firms that have held strong organic rankings for years.
Todd’s website was receiving minimal organic traffic, and the brand was virtually invisible in online search. The goals were clear:
- Increase relevant organic traffic
- Achieve front-page visibility for competitive, high-intent keywords
- Improve Google Business Profile visibility
- Gain brand recognition in emerging AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Ai Overviews
Started with a 3 month SEO engagement
Todd and his team conducted an extensive search, interviewing six highly recommended SEO outsourcing companies that work with small businesses. After meeting with our team they chose to move forward with a focused 3-month SEO engagement.
Our SEO strategy for Todd Haiman Landscape Design
We developed a clear, results-focused SEO plan aimed at fast impact, high-quality visibility, and long-term positioning in a competitive local market.
1. Audit and strategy alignment
We began with a full website and content audit, mapped priority service keywords, and aligned strategy with Todd’s unique brand positioning in the luxury segment.
2. Targeted content and optimization
We optimized service pages and added relevant metadata, alt text, structured content, and keyword-driven headings to improve indexation and relevance.
3. Google Business Profile optimization
We improved the GMB profile with accurate business information, optimized descriptions, service categories, and consistent NAP citations to boost local discovery.
4. Visual-first SEO
Given the visually driven nature of landscape design, we focused on optimizing high-quality images. This helped the client’s visuals appear in Google’s “Images” section multiple times, driving both traffic and aesthetic appeal.
5. Off-page SEO and AI visibility
We secured placements and citations across local directories and content-rich platforms to build domain authority. As a result, AI platforms like Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT began recognizing the brand, even mentioning Todd Haiman by name in AI-generated responses.
The results: Front-page rankings, image features & AI search presence

- Increased by 94% in just 4 months
