Title: door knocking
Post by: ALAN HAYNES on February 28, 2008, 07:12:15 pm

door knocking i think is the best way to get window cleaning work

but is it the same for pressure washing

have all the equipment but no work at the moment is it the same for pressure washing

all down to knocking doors

yes it does work but unlike with window cleaning they are one off jobs

i usually find i might get one job every 4 hours canvassing for pressure washing.
But i dont like going in too cheap!


You need to tie them down on the day if you can, or you will prob never hear from them again.

dont like the sound of that 4 hours one job

looking on google to day for pressure washing and there do not seem many web sites for this

took some looking to find two in leicester and they was on dircetories

so may invest in a web site

Don't know what you typed in but we usually come up on the first page?

I typed in pressure washing and Roger your on the first page but then added leicester and there were several. Web sites won't bring in work overnight on their own, you need to work to refine key words, links and good content before they come up natural listings. As you saw directorys help, and the best way of finding these is to type in your competitors and see what their on. I did customer street in my area and that has brought promising results but that was for drain jetting and it is early days yet. The best advert is your good work and word of mouth - its free but takes a while

i see what you mean about your web site.

if some one going to google a local pressure washer there is very little choice in leicester anyway.

your web site looks good. do you get much work from it or do you find it more word of mouth or other

Agree web-sites don't work over night we have had ours for over two years now and it works very well for us. It is all about key words really.

Alan Haynes
what works for use is web-site, leaflets, check-a-trade, word of mouth and refferals.

In the end just doing a good job will say it all for you.
