seems a bit low

prices are FROM*  m8
the area is saturated with wc to be honest and im hell bent on gaining the lions share.
4 BEDS ARE £10+
3 bed semis are £7+  (15 mins max)

im at the point where 1 not today is dumped so cant complain.

ive worked my nuts off to get us where we are today and do all my own artwork for web design and fliers etc etc.

the prices in our area our really dictated by the dolers , and i am slowly strangling them out with our service and appearance.
im lucky that the new customers get the prime prices & each messer that we have gets dumped every time we get a new prime custy ;D

Glad you like the site by the way, just need the categories sorted so domestic is first in order and the buttons on right side of gallery appear pressed when you hover over them.

brill, love it, I found a good way to get thoughts is to ask customers to have a look, do a competition, say free inside clean, helps search a little, and they look at and are reminded of what other services you provide and your new name is burnt into there mind!! lol, every little helps.

oh and can i have a copy of your website?? lol  ;D

I know what you mean on the 'clearveiw' name so been done, a pal of mine a few miles away went for it, thinking he was original I said don't!

Jooma is a wonderous thing.

All you need to do is find a site such as http://www.shape5.com/, buy/download a template, and you're done.

Obviously you need to have a sor tof idea how to use Joomla, but it's pretty user friendly! :)

The website I suggested above offer an AMAZING free template.

It's probably the BEST free Joomla template I have seen.

You haven't added it to Google yet.

I think the site performs well, telephone number is clearly visible.

However there is nothing about you as a person, no pictures of you, is your name there. I was speaking to a customer yesterday who chose me because I had a picture of me on the main page. I was going to get rid of it but they liked it so I guess it will stay. Maybe you could include that.

Try to make the "About us Page" a little bit more personal, don't hide behind you name, make it personal reach out a bit.

As for the SEO, I dont think you have put much thought in to it. Using .jpeg are fine they look good, but google prefers text. Therefore to improve this, add a bigger description to the title tag. Currently you have nothing. I.E for the conservatory .jpeg link, You should have as the title tag text some thing like "Click here to find out about our Conservatory Roof Cleaning Services"

I would also change the url. E.g currently its this http://www.cannockwindowcleaning.co.uk/index.php/services/conservatory

It could be http://www.cannockwindowcleaning.co.uk/index.php/services/Conservatory-Roof-Cleaning-West-Midlands-Areas-Covered etc

this is SEO real estate, use it.

I think you need new keywords, there aren't enough.

Also what areas do you cover, find somewhere to list them all they help search engines.



I hope all this makes sense.


There is loads more you could do it regards to SEO, search lynda.com and maybe purchase some SEO tuts
