The company says its updated SEO platform now includes a special focus on plant-related queries. It scans top-ranking content to find patterns in structure, keywords, and formatting. Then it suggests simple changes so sites can match what Google looks for.
Many garden blogs and plant retailers struggle to appear in these answer boxes. GreenThumb’s research shows that clear headings, short paragraphs, and direct answers work best. Their tool automatically highlights areas where content can be clearer or more specific.
“We noticed that Google often pulls from pages that answer one question very well,” said Maya Lin, product lead at GreenThumb. “So we built features that help writers do just that—without stuffing keywords or overcomplicating things.”
Early users report faster indexing and more traffic from organic search. One indoor plant store saw its visibility in “how to care for snake plants” queries jump by 60% in two weeks.
The update is available now to all GreenThumb customers. It works with existing content management systems and requires no coding. Users simply paste their plant care guides into the dashboard and follow the suggestions.
Google has not confirmed any changes to its algorithm. But experts agree that structured, user-focused content continues to perform well. GreenThumb’s approach removes guesswork by showing exactly what top results have in common.
