I'm one of the cofounders of PriceTable. [1] It has been a side project since 2018 or so.
About a year and a half ago I posted about it on HN [2] and back then our revenue was $2,500/mo. We recently passed the $6,000/mo.
At this point we have a few very happy customers who make up the bulk of our revenue. We have been trying to grow more, but our challenge is that we haven't been able to figure out a cost-effective way of reaching potential customers. We target the landscaping market, and most landscaping companies are either too small, or they don't have tech-savvy owners/staff who are motivated to learn and leverage a software solution effectively in order to grow their sales. Phone and email outreach haven't worked well.
If anyone has experience in this market or similar, please drop me a line! ege@pricetable.io

This is interesting, I don't know anything about your business but I feel like it might be worth having a landing page that is focused on landscaping. I don't really understand what the business does or how it can be helpful to a landscaping company.
Your website does not scream out to me that you are targeting the landscaping market and is a micro-startup going for the same market that the big companies cover so it might be a big hurdle to get the next client.
the genericness of the first few sentences are kinda not idea because they don't capture the "clickbait" nature of your product. you want to enthrall them into checking you out more. "The Perfect Mix of Sales Automation and Operations Management." doesn't really tell me much. "Create quotes in 30 seconds from your phone" or "control your business from anywhere" or whatever does capture my attention more. the headline doesn't have to encompass everything your business does but the subheading should have something like "complete business automation on the go"
getting customers is a hard problem® if it wasn't one of the biggest companies in the world wouldn't be an ad selling company with a swath of ways to deliver ads to you.
There are some YouTube channels that specialize in landscaping. I could see digitally and entrepreneurially minded landscaping professionals being a good part of their audience. Might be worth sponsoring a video or two.
