remove all the pictures of equipment, they are of no interest to customers, put pictures of children and pets or old age pensioners

Sign up to Freeindex and use it to start collecting feedback from your customers. Then install the Freeindex review app into your homepage.

Establishing trust with visitors to your website will absolutely improve your conversion rate.

Have to agree with the others, unless that van is for sale, why is it on there?

Random picture of a hoover  ???

Also it might just be me but I dont like the term 'scrubbed' sounds unprofessional and gives an impression of a carpet being over worked.
Pictures of work carried out are good though, although why have a 5lt container of cleaner in it.
Can you guarantee dry in under an hour after extracting ? we couldn't.

Work in progress I would say ,get some of the experts on here to help you out.

How about getting some copywriting training.

Then you could write your own original content.

That would save you lifting large sections from Paul Pearce's healthyhome.co.uk (your wordpress blog) and my site (complete with spelling mistakes).

little typo on vacuum
the others are right,you can mention shockwave but nobody other than carpet cleaners would know what that is
i also think if you or anybody uses a picture of themselves you should wear branded clothing or uniform
well done for doing site yourself,good effort 8)

If you are not doing any analytical, then any changes suggested may be a waste of time. For all you know, one good job a week is an excellent result for the search terms you are gunning for. Also analytics  wil show you where problems are and where to put your Energies.
