Business Problems

“We had to search just to find ourselves online. We weren’t even showing up at all.”

Mark Martin built and grew Interior Tropical Gardens — a plant rental and care company serving offices, hospitals, hotels, and homes across northern Illinois — for nearly 40 years.

But being a great horticulturist didn’t mean his business was blooming online. Competitors were winning jobs Mark never even had the chance to bid on simply because customers couldn’t find him online.

He spent years investing in marketing companies that promised results but delivered very little in return. And because his business serves a very specific niche, every lead mattered. Unlike high-volume industries, Mark only gets a handful of opportunities each week, so each one needs to count.

Now his business is blooming, thanks to Thryv.

Benefits

Thryv SEO Management

Before Thryv, Mark’s business was nearly impossible to find online. Within just two months, Interior Tropical Gardens jumped from page four to page one on Google. Once they hit page one, calls and inquiries skyrocketed. Mark's phone rang off the hook. His business even showed up at the top of AI-assisted results for the best plant company in the Chicago area.

“Thryv brought us to the top in a very, very short time. And once we were on page one, our volume of clients just went through the roof.”

Thryv Leads^®

Mark struggled to generate consistent, high-quality leads before Thryv. The only way anyone could find his business online was by searching the exact name. Luckily, Thryv Leads® connected him with high-quality prospects — people actively looking for his exact plant services. And because those leads turned into long-term contracts, they will continue to generate years of recurring revenue.

“Our leads increased by about 30%. And from that 30%, our conversion rate is very high. We can take a lead now and turn it into a new client really fast.”

Automated Reviews & Reputation Management

Interior Tropical Gardens had zero online reviews and inconsistent business listings across directories and platforms. Despite decades of happy clients, there was no social proof online to build trust with new prospects. With a central location to manage his listings and a simple QR code for clients to leave a review on the spot, Mark's business gained the online trust it needed.

”We had no reviews at all. And then all of a sudden, we have 20% more reviews coming from honest clients — and that has really changed the online credibility of our company."
