Step 1: Get Found with Google Ads & Local Services Ads
Why It Matters?
When customers need cleaning services, the first place they go is Google.
✅ 70% of customers hire a provider who shows up in the first five search results.
✅ Google Local Services Ads (LSA) deliver leads, not clicks, making them highly cost-effective.
✅ The average cost per lead (CPL) for cleaning businesses on Google Ads is $15 - $50, but can be lower with proper targeting.
1.1 Set Up Google Local Services Ads (LSA)
Appear at the top of Google search results for searches like “House Cleaning Near Me” or “Office Janitorial Services.”
Pay only for valid leads—not just clicks.
Get Google Guaranteed certification (boosts conversion rates by 30%).
Target high-intent service categories like Deep Cleaning, Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning, Commercial Cleaning.
Example:
A cleaning business running LSA ads for "Move-Out Cleaning" sees higher-intent leads and 30-40% close rates.

1.2 Run High-Intent Google Search Ads (PPC Ads)
Bid on job-ready keywords, like:
“Apartment cleaning near me”
“Commercial janitorial service”
“Same-day home cleaning”
Use call tracking to measure ad success.
Optimize landing pages with clear CTAs like "Book a Free Cleaning Estimate."
Budget Tip:
Start with $30/day, focusing on high-intent searches for the best ROI.

1.3 Enable Call Tracking on Google Business Profile
Use a call tracking number to monitor which ads generate the most calls.
Track missed calls and messages from ads.
Automate SMS follow-ups for missed calls to recover up to 30% of lost leads.
Example:
If 50% of calls go unanswered, a missed-call text automation can recover 15-20% of lost jobs.
Step 2: Run Facebook & Instagram Ads to Target Local Customers
Why It Matters?
Most people don’t search for a cleaner daily, but when they need one, you want to be their first choice.
✅ Facebook & Instagram build brand awareness, keeping you top-of-mind.
✅ Cost-per-click (CPC) on Facebook is lower than Google Ads, making it a great low-cost strategy.
✅ A well-targeted Facebook ad can generate leads for as low as $5 - $15 per lead.
