We work with cleaners who got tired of agencies promising the world and delivering a monthly PDF with no calls behind it.

Why It's Different for Cleaners
Cleaners live or die by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), SafeContractor certification check, the Google reviews, and the photos on the listing. In that order. A website is supporting cast. The listing is the show.
Cleaners usually serve landlords needing end-of-tenancy cleans, busy professionals, offices and commercial premises. The jobs that come through tend to be deep cleaning, office cleaning, and carpet and upholstery cleaning. Cleaners who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
What We Actually Do
Cleaners get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for cleaners in 2026. The whole package, run by us so you don't have to think about it. Website. Google profile. Reviews. SEO. Missed-call recovery. Quote follow-ups. Monthly report. You keep doing your job, we handle the online side.
Every cleaner on our list gets the same six things: a fast cleaner website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each cleaner job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to cleaner buyer searches, and a monthly report.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
For cleaners specifically, the picture looks like this. Most cleaners we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Here's what's really going on. When someone searches for what you do near them, Google shows three businesses on the map. Those three get most of the calls. If you're not in those three, you may as well not exist for that search.
The Clients We Already Run
For cleaners reading this who already feel like they have tried everything, here is the bit nobody mentions. Most cleaner marketing advice is generic and does not actually move the needle for cleaners. What we have instead of fancy case studies: seven real businesses paying us monthly. Plumbers in three different towns. Heating engineers in two more. A paving firm. A bathroom fitter. All English-speaking owners we text directly.
Next Step: A Free Audit
Quickest way to find out if we can help is the free audit. We look at your Google profile, your reviews, your site, and your top three local competitors. You get a one-page write-up. Whether you hire us or not is up to you.
The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We track every keyword you should be ranking for and check positions weekly. When something drops, we fix it that week, not next month. The monthly report shows every keyword and the change versus last month, in plain English.
Missed-Call Text-Back
We have seen owners on this system go from 'a quiet week' to 'fully booked' just because the missed-call text turned dropped calls into actual job enquiries. It is genuinely the highest-ROI thing in the whole package.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
What It Costs
Honest pricing, no asterisks: £199 one-time setup and £199 every month. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. The site is yours forever, even if you cancel after the third month.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 setup, which covers your website, then £199 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £6.70 a day. You can cancel after three months.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
