Depends on what type of cleans we do,but end of tenancy cleans from just 40 pounds is very cheap, you tell me what do you charge for 4 bed EOT? Also as regards to pricesstart from just 7.50 isthat with equipment labout and materials or just labour?

7.50 is just labour and ent is 40 for first three house and 15 per hr after.
-
£7.50 pr hr labour - cleaners wages ?£6? - NI.Hol Pay,Insurance,your time to arrange work,uniform - Sorry I can't see how you can possibly make a profit surely all the things I've listed swallow up your other £1.50
How long have you been doing this for?

Ok well thats a fairly good price,if thats just for labour although i'd say reasonable price would be 9ph, we dont work on hourly rates with landlords and esate agents so i cant comment on that.
-
Your website is good though., cant say if its seo friendly but asin term of design is good :)
-
Dash you say you don't work on hourly rates with your letting agents but you must work to an hourly rate yourself eventhough you don't give them that figure? - do you have cleaners working for you or do you do a lot of your cleaning work?

I dont have a set rate which i use to work it out, i dnt work it out like most of people do, i work out labour rate then add all my expences and then add my profit rate, you see i learned that from when was doing accounts and find it more efficient when it comes to woking out your overall profit, i know exactly whats what.

The SEO will be sorted over the next few days. Lucky for me my husband not only handles the admin side of things but also manages and creates websites.

Thats great then, do you get any customers from website now?

The website went live at 03:00 this morning so it is early doors just yet.
We have had a request for a quote already as a result as well as an estate agents wanting to sign us up as their cleaning contractors. But this could all be coincidence in its timing and as such can not yet put these down to the website.
Carpet cleaning is something we do offer as part of the EOT service until we have had a chance to make enough investment into it being a stand alone service. Perhaps an odd way to go around it, but there is some method in our madness.

Ok have you been set up long time?we get most of our business from website, thats why i was asking.we do leaflet dropping etc as well which works well. an a regards to carpet cleaning we had to make that investment 2 months ago and its paid us well so far, very happy we decided to go fo it.
-
Hi Dash,
We have been functioning in a small capacity for about 26 months now but only recently decided to take this to a whole new level.
I am assuming that given your location you own build2serve ;) which is one of the many sites my husband has been looking at in order to gain a better understanding on design ideas both common factors and what makes them unique.
I am confident that the website will pay for itself (pardon the pun I know) but we also leaflet drop, engage contact with companies, and advertise in magazines.
-
AngelCleaners,
How did you quess? ;D Yes indeed my self and my husband do run build2serve, and if you have viewed our site on various occasions you will have noticed that over last 2 months it has changed dramatically, as i do all the design my self and like your husband spent time browsing through many sites, as it is very hard to choose the final design which will make it stand out.
After 2 months of constant change,improvments and optimasation i am finally happy with the design i have achieved. Although it remains very demanding on the daily basis & addtional changes are always made.
I wish you all the best with your business and hope you can achieve what you have planned and am sure your website will pay off in no time.

How did you quess?
It was just a case of stringing together certain items of information found around the place if im honest.
I know what you mean about getting that certain look for the website, it is hard and ackward but once achieved or approaching, ultimately satisfying.
I cannot say I have viewed it on a regular basis, just my husband. Who seems to gaze for a while, before looking at what looks like utter double dutch to me (He calls it coding).
Thank you for the good luck gesture. Anyway time for bed I think.

You need to take a look at your seo, as someone as already mentioned, the "title" is not there just the "homepage tag, google tends to spider your title more than your keywords (if at all)
;)

Nice website.
Who did you say created it?

Nopes, this is the first website we have had and both I and my husband have been hard at work to get it known.
Dean_Parkes,
My husband has been taking care of the website and setting it up and modifying it etc. There is loads more planned, but these will come in time.

I read your post again which got me thinking. I had a look and I see what you meant. So I have had this amended as it was an incorrect statement.

Yeah i just pointed out that to you incase it was an error of editing?as i know i have had a standard t&c to edit and missed out couple of things, its just good when third party can read through it.

Indeed.
Terms & Conditions has never been an enjoyable part lol. Too long and many things to consider and change.
Hopefully the site will have some more work done to it over the coming week. Ill let you know as obviously feedbackis important and as you pointed out sometimes a fresh set of eyes are able to spot something we normally would not.

Yes of course i will be happy to have a look and read through. and as you have mentioned terms and conditions are a nightmare.and everytime we do a job and some surprises pop up i always think of new points to add, not just for our good but for customers too, things like letting them know that we do not move furniture etc, to avoid the misunderstanding aftewards, little things can make such big difference. I was meaning to ask you, do you mainly do regular cleans or one off's or end of tenancy?as we do do some regular cleans but they have never been of an attraction to myself, and i am considering doing many more of them after christmas.
