Local Search & Google

0 / 7

Claim your GBP with category 'House Cleaning Service' or 'Commercial Cleaning Service'
List every service: regular cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in/out, post-construction, office cleaning
Add your service area explicitly — GBP lets you list every city and neighborhood you cover
Add photos of clean results, your team in uniform, your equipment, and your branded vehicle
Get listed on Thumbtack, Angi, HomeAdvisor, TaskRabbit, and Nextdoor for leads
Target keywords: 'house cleaning [city]', 'maid service near me', 'deep cleaning [city]'
Collect 5 Google reviews per week — this is the fastest path to #1 in your area

Pricing & Lead Generation

0 / 7

Add an instant quote calculator to your website — it's your #1 conversion driver
Create a 'First Clean Special' (e.g. 20% off) — lower the barrier to the first booking
Build separate landing pages for each service type targeting specific search intent
Add a live chat widget for instant quote requests — speed to response wins the booking
Run Google Local Services Ads (GLSA) — these appear above regular ads with a 'Google Guaranteed' badge
Send direct mail postcards to neighborhoods after completing a job in the area
Partner with real estate agents — every home sale is a move-in/move-out clean opportunity

Retention & Recurring Revenue

0 / 7

Offer weekly, biweekly, and monthly subscription plans at 10–15% discount vs. one-time cleans
Send a 'how was your clean?' text within 2 hours of every job completion
Create a referral program: 'Refer a neighbor, both of you get $25 off'
Leave a branded thank-you card after every clean with a review request QR code
Upsell add-ons at booking: inside oven cleaning, inside fridge, window cleaning, laundry folding
Send a 'Spring Deep Clean' and 'Holiday Preparation Clean' email campaign each season
Track client retention monthly — losing a recurring client costs 5x more than keeping them
