Yeah Ben, my feeling is you're spreading yourself really thin. Both in terms of what you are offering and where. I would sit down and figure out where and on what you make the most most money and focus on that. When you get that working continue to hone it and add something else.

I actually wouldn't be too hard on the web guy, he sounds like a standard web guy. He will give you what you ask for and they tend not to say 'no that won't work' because a) they want your money and b) they are not usually that savvy to what works and what doesn't, they just know they got paid.

I'm looking at your homepage and thinking if I was google I'd think you will clean anything in the south west and you have quite a lot of competition on that front.

Coming up on searches for your own business name is what you are getting, that's because you have no competition for that. It won't bring in enquiries from new custies though will it.

Well the best would probably be get a business address in the centre of Gloucester and do everything humanly possible to be number one in Google Places. That's assuming you don't mind working there.

To achieve this all you need is good old fashioned business techniques, no SEO wizardry.

we offer many services and have no issues we aren't cheap nor expensive just affordable not out to empty bank accounts but we are all the same to get a good service or deal when we go shoping we don't go Tesco aldi morrisons ad etc because each one has better prices we go to the one which we can get all shopping from one place. well that's how our business runs and how we think about things

Agree with the comments. Do not list prices as people use it for shopping other sites then often you'll never get the call. Talk well about your services on the website and meet the customer to book in the job. We do this and clean over 70 properties a month.
