Benefits Of A Clean-up For Your Business
How does picking up trash create links & brand visibility?
Sadly, while there are already non-profit organizations in nearly every county in the US to facilitate business sponsered community cleanup events, they don’t do SEO, and don’t understand how digital marketing works. At best you might get a single image/logo link if you sponsor a cleanup.
However, as many SEOs know, you can amplify a real world event in many ways to actually create local, relevant links.
We’ve partnered with Evergreen SEO services to offer your business or agency the option to get the benefits of a community cleanup, we’ll handle the details, you get the links and PR.
You add an RSVP form on your site, and #community-cleanup anchor link and we use that in multiple ways to build links while we also drum up legitimate, genuine community participation in the event. Do good while you build links!

What it costs
Two ways to run one. Either way you get the event listings, the press release, the local citations and the photos — the difference is who is on the ground that day.
$400 deposit, balance due after the event.
We run it. Supplies, volunteers, a coordinator on the ground, plus all the promotion.
$300 deposit, balance due after the event.
You run the event. We do the press, the aggregators, the directories and the syndication.
We run these anywhere in the US, with the crew sourced wherever the event happens — the constraint is lead time, not distance. The earliest we can run is two weeks out; a month is better, because that runway is where the pre-event links and the community turnout come from.
Requesting a date does not charge anything. We send the deposit invoice once the date is confirmed.
