Exclusive, phone-verified stump grinding leads delivered straight to your line. One company per metro. Tied to a real money-back guarantee on booked-and-completed jobs.
Stump work gets sold like a commodity on Angi, Yelp, HomeAdvisor and the rest of the pay-per-lead platforms. Every caller has three other quotes in hand before you pick up – here's why that math doesn't work.
You pay $30–$120 for the same stump inquiry sent to four or five other tree companies. By the time you call, the homeowner has already picked whoever quoted the cheapest grind.
The cheapest pay-per-lead inquiries skew toward people who just want "cheapest stump removal near me." Your best jobs – multi-stump cleanups, storm-damage root removal, larger diameter grinds – rarely come through that funnel.
Every dollar you spend on Angi or HomeAdvisor builds their pipeline. The day you stop paying, the leads stop with it – because the website, the ranking, the email list, and the lead attribution all live on their side of the fence, not yours.
Pay-per-lead platforms sell whatever inquiries happen to come in that week – no consistency. Crews and equipment sit idle one week and get overbooked the next, with no system smoothing out the gaps.
Not every inbound call is a real stump job. Our owned lead system is tuned to bring in the inquiries below – homeowners who want the work done, are ready to schedule, and match what your crews are actually equipped to handle.
"We took down a maple last fall and the stump is right in the middle of our backyard. Want it ground down flat so we can reseed the lawn."
"We just bought this property and there are six old stumps scattered across the lot before we can put in a fence. Looking for someone who can knock all of them out at once."
"A 40-inch oak stump is left over from a removal last month. Needs a bigger grinder than the last guy had – want it gone before we pour a patio slab."
"Had a tree taken down by another company and they left the stump. Want to get it ground and hauled off before the landscapers come next week."
"Roots from an old stump are buckling our driveway. Need the stump and the surface roots ground down before we repave."
"We lost two trees in last week's storm and the removal crew left the stumps behind. Need someone to grind them out and clear the debris."
Built only for tree service businesses, with every layer – Google Business Profile, Local SEO, AI SEO, landing pages, paid ads, Google Local Services Ads, call tracking, lead attribution – tuned for the way people actually search for grinding work.
Stump-specific Google Business Profile categories, services and posts. Local SEO and AI SEO targeting how homeowners actually phrase stump searches – "stump grinding near me," "stump removal cost," "root removal," "stump grinding vs removal." Built so the map pack and AI Overviews surface you first.
Conversion-focused landing page templates for stump grinding specifically. Paid ads (PPC) and Google Local Services Ads (LSA) campaigns run alongside organic, so the same searcher sees you in the map pack, the LSA badge, and the ads. Every dollar tracked with call tracking and proper lead attribution.
Phone-verified leads with territory exclusivity – one tree service company per metro. Weekly updates with easy-to-understand reports on lead volume, lead quality, close rate, cost per lead, booked estimates, and booked-and-completed jobs. Week-to-week reporting, plain English.
Stump work is one of the most price-shopped services in the tree industry. The companies that stay profitable on it are the ones whose lead source filters for real jobs before the phone rings – not the ones competing on a shared platform where five companies quote the same stump.
Most tree service businesses lose margin on stump work by competing for shared leads on price alone. An owned lead system removes the bidding war – you're the only call the homeowner made.
One offer, one job: get the phone ringing with the right stump calls before we ever touch the slower organic work. Backed by a real money-back guarantee on booked-and-completed jobs.
Paid search (PPC) + Google Local Services Ads + landing pages + call tracking, deployed in your metro in under two weeks. Built to ring the phone for stump grinding intent specifically.

"So far Fridolin has done more for my business than any marketing company has – from removing the dead weight from my website, recommending changing my domain name to get rid of backlinks, optimizing my website to make it look awesome and keep people who are looking for tree service on my website longer. If you are looking for someone detail oriented and someone who really goes above and beyond, definitely use Fridolin – he does whatever it takes to get you results."
"Fridolin has been awesome. This guy really knows his stuff. After searching for someone to help me build my web presence and help drive in quality phone calls for my business I thought they were all scams. Then I met Fridolin – he really took the time to learn about me and my company and our goals. He has provided a specialized service that I did not think was available. His attention to detail and communication are superb."
"We've been working with Fridolin for almost two years and he has helped us rank in the top 3 for most of our local keywords. Our visibility on google maps and organic search has improved significantly, and the rankings have made a real difference in getting us more leads. He also cleaned up our directory listings and fixed inconsistencies with old addresses and phone numbers. Fridolin 100% knows what he's doing and we'd definitely recommend him."

Drop your email and we'll send you the same one-page scorecard we use to audit a tree service operator's stump grinding lead sources before working with them. Score Angi, Yelp, HomeAdvisor, your Google Business Profile, your website, and any other source you use on the four things that actually matter.
The questions tree service owners actually ask before working with us on stump grinding leads.
The Phone Ringer runs $0 setup (waived from $1,500) plus $750 a month in management fee, paid directly for ad spend on top of that. A minimum of $500 in monthly ad spend works, with $1,500 or more giving faster data and quicker optimization on stump-specific keywords.
Yes. The system is built around owned inbound leads rather than shared marketplace requests. Market exclusivity is one company per metro – once you're onboarded, we don't take on another tree service business in your service area for stump grinding or any other lead type.
Paid search is usually the first channel launched because it produces calls faster than SEO – The Phone Ringer typically goes live in your metro in under two weeks. Google Maps and organic SEO are layered in afterward for longer-term lead stability once the paid channel is proving out.
Week-by-week reporting on calls, forms, booked jobs, and cost per booked job – in plain English, not agency jargon. That structure helps you judge lead quality on stump work specifically, not just raw call volume.
No. Service is month-to-month with upfront pricing the whole way through, which keeps performance accountable and lets you scale up or pause based on crew capacity.
If month 1 of The Phone Ringer doesn't deliver at least a 3× return on your ad spend – measured by booked-and-completed stump jobs we can attribute to our campaigns through call tracking – we refund your $750 management fee in full and keep working for free until it does.
