First off, you need to resize that picture, it takes far too long to load as it is so big

not bad lee

like the demonstration idea do you repeat that in your leaflets? does it increase strike rate?

also liked the bit about ladders/tiles and maybe privacy for the upstairs

do they have to sign a disclaimer of some sorts  for the insides re breakages?

the inside section i would remove the we only do it in bad weather, as i think this might put people off as they might not now when it is getting done

also we dont call back to collect, i find that collect is a good way to get to know ur custy and sort out any little probs,  and it only take sme 2 hours on a saturday morning  as a lot of my custy like to pay cash

Is that your own picture?

(IE not nabbed off someone elses site)

If so, I've resized it for you and added © 2010... just let me know..

Also, on your leaflets, you don't need to write /index.htm,

rather, just write www.dcswindowcleaning.co.uk as that's all you need to type in!

If you want to be found in search engines you need to do some serious SEO, you havent got any on it. Google doesnt know you exist nor what search terms will locate you.


Did you make it yourself or did someone else do it for you?

mark and darren.

I have not put free offer of one window cleaned on leaflets so can not say, i should add that ive been going 5 years so not in desperate need of new business.(but better paying jobs always welcome)

regarding inside cleans to me i only want to do them when i can't work outside when weather is too bad so if people don't like that then so be it.

I have some regulars who i do inside windows for and do keep em happy but not after anymore like this; it is only worth doing internal if i can do on days i can't work due to bad weather.

J.wfp
THANKYOU VERY MUCH
for resize and copyright, yes it is my own pic of me cleaning the windows of my own place ;D
oh yeh thanks for tip on web address, i just copyand pasted.

Rise n shine yes i made website myself, does it show ;D

I'm not clue up on meta tags, seo etc but the program i'm using has this so will look into,

it would be great to be found on search engines but if i only get looked at from web address on leaflets then that's good for £20

mark this is a good idea but i don't think people would want to sign a disclaimer (imo)

that don't sign one for  the outside being done.

I can't see me going to court for breaking a flower pot etc (not meaning to sound sarcastic)

wouldn't want to get involved with secondary glazing, just use my common sense; if i've got any let ;D

This might be useful:
Q: Does Google ever use the "keywords" meta tag in its web search ranking?
A: In a word, no.



It uses meta tags for many reasons, there are over 80 criteria which make up googles results, meta tags being one of them. Ignore them at your peril.

When you do a search for basingstoke window cleaner the google description of my site isnt on the front page, it comes directlys from the meta tags.

If you look at the google description for www.oakleywindowcleaning.co.uk then it says
Quote
Serving Basingstoke and most of Hampshire. Surrey, Ascot, Windlesham, M3, Guildford, Cleaning for both commercial and residential clients.

This is from the meta tags.
