Some of the brands we have worked with
Who this is for
Cleaning businesses we work with
Domestic cleaners and small teams
You clean homes, regularly or one-off, across a few postcodes. Almost nine in ten "domestic cleaners near me" searches happen on phones and bring up a map pack, so your Google Business Profile comes first, then area pages.
End of tenancy specialists
"End of tenancy cleaning" is the biggest of the fifteen cleaning searches we checked. Searchers also ask what the clean should include, so answer that on its own page, with a complete profile for the map pack.
Commercial and contract cleaners
Only about one in four searches for "office cleaning" or "commercial cleaning" comes from a phone, so contract buyers mostly search at a desk. "Office cleaning" also brings up an AI Overview, which your pages can feed with direct answers.
Firms reliant on lead sites
Lead sites and booking apps bring you much of your work, and they sit high in cleaning searches too. Each booking your own page brings is one you did not pay a lead site for, lessening reliance on paid leads.
What we do
How customers search for a cleaner
Households searching "cleaners near me" or "carpet cleaning near me" mostly use phones: about two in three for the first, more than four in five for the second (Ahrefs UK data, September 2026). Both bring up a map pack, with paid ads around it on the first. Plain service searches work differently: "house cleaning", "deep cleaning" and "domestic cleaning" show no map pack, so a page, not your profile, answers them. "End of tenancy cleaning" and "oven cleaning" both bring up an AI Overview. Beneath "cleaners near me", Google's suggested questions cover hourly rates, two-hour visits and how to find a good domestic cleaner.
SEO for cleaning services, domestic and commercial
Profiles on Google and Apple Maps
We settle whether your Google Business Profile leads with domestic, end of tenancy, carpet or commercial cleaning. Our Local SEO work fits its service area to your postcodes, adds photos of finished cleans and mirrors it on Apple Maps.
Pages for each clean and area
House cleaning, deep cleans, end of tenancy, carpets and office contracts each get their own page. Area pages follow your bookings, skipping postcodes you seldom visit, and name the cleans you take on there.
Answers before the booking
What a two-hour visit covers, how your pricing works and why customers can trust whoever comes into their home, each answered directly under its question. Answer Engine Optimisation shapes pages AI Overviews can quote.
Reviews and replies
Customers let a cleaner into their home or workplace, so recent genuine reviews weigh heavily with customers and with Google alike. We make asking a habit after each clean, and every review gets a considered reply.
Named in AI answers
Ask an assistant who is a good domestic cleaner in your town and, increasingly, it names a few firms. Generative Engine Optimisation aligns your cleans and postcodes across site, profile and directories; Reddit GEO places you in relevant Reddit communities.

Ranking beside directories and booking apps
When Ahrefs checked the UK results for "cleaners near me" in September 2026, three cleaning businesses filled the map pack. Below it, directories, lead sites and booking platforms held five organic places out of eight, and cleaning companies' own pages took the other three: two were area pages, one on a site with an Ahrefs Domain Rating of just 3. "End of tenancy cleaning" is similar: Checkatrade and Housekeep rank, and so does a cleaning firm's site with a Domain Rating of 4. Checkatrade also holds top results in home improvement, one of the sectors we specialise in, which is why senior people work every account.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
By starting from the cleans you want more of and the postcodes you want them in. Those choices shape your profile, the order pages are built in and the searches we track, on Google and in assistants such as ChatGPT.
Partly by being found for every clean you offer, not just the main one. "Window cleaning" and "oven cleaning" each draw more than 3,000 searches a month (Ahrefs UK data, September 2026), so if you offer either, it deserves its own page.
By being found when buyers search, then winning the pitch, which is down to you. Give each kind of premises you clean its own page, answering what a buyer weighs before requesting a quote, not least who will be working on their premises.
Where customers already look: Google, where some lead sites rank too, so a listing can help. Paid leads and Google Ads stop when you stop paying, whereas SEO goes on working after the first pages are built.
Mostly for the contested searches, or to hand the work over. Ahrefs UK data for September 2026 rates "carpet cleaning near me" 62 for difficulty out of 100, against 1 for "cleaners near me". We can run your SEO, or work alongside you on it.
