Hi Mark
I have some comments about your website
1. Your portraying yourself as a one man band which i feel is not good when trying to secure commercial work.
2. You have to many personal comments i.e " i don't believe in credit", "owners of truck mount cleaning machines harp on " this is not good for a professional image.
3. A lot of your text is in the first person, once again portrays a single person rather than a company. Only my opinion of course.

I hope i don't sound too negative but i found peoples comments helpful when building my site. I  just feel it is better to portray a larger image to secure the more profitable contracts.

Regards
Karl

Sorry Mark, prefer your current site over the propsed one.

Suggest you take a look at some of the websites of your fellow professionals on this forum for some tips.

why mention you havent got a truckmount, there really is no point, the customer

normally is none the wiser any how, and what you are doing is feeding them

negatives about your business rather than saying what the positives are!

Hi Mark

Get rid of the intro, it's just an irritating distraction.

Also spell Peterborough properly as the search engines will not pick it up.

Is there such a place as Huntingfordshire ?

Cheers

Doug

My personal opinion Mark,

its looks a liitle dark to me, a few spelling mistakes , ok easily reedemed,
but what I did find a little annoying was the way you portrayed the hoovering, ie we use industrial hoovers " i would suggest the words vacuum and vaccuming ,

oh yes  , make sure you alter the hovering ;D ;)

My www.ecocarpetclean.info site is my own diy job but my www.strakercleaning.co.uk was done by Mark Roberts. Will never get my diy one to the level of the other but i try to emulate as best i can.

Someone said not to mention minus points ............ only sing your own praises and always refer to yourself as we or us  ;)

Anyone got a contact number for Mark. Need to get my site SEO'd. Have had it done but the guy was obviously useless.

Mark recently did mine and I am over the moon with the results and his services are excellent value for money.

My google rankings shot up overnight.

Stop messing about and get Mark on the job.

Its really important to get your link pages sorted out, with some software that invites relevant sites to link with you.

It has taken me 3 years to get my rankings with my current site first page on google and about 4 or 5 instances,been getting loads of work from it over the last week , best it`s ever been.This new site has been created using templates from 123.reg.co.uk that`s why i am limited in some of the colour schemes and top banners 3 choices per template so it`s a bit limited.It will take me a while to get up the rankings but this site has cost me a grand total of £36. to do so even if i get 1 job it`s paid for itself  :D

The first picture that you have on your home page is of a company that was named Steaming Sam from Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham.  The Guy holding the wand is Mark & the guy spraying is Neil.  They venue was the Ritz Nightclub in Birmingham & the TM they were using was a Prochem Performer 800A.  I know all this useless info because i used to work for them......They had a load of photo shoots done for their portfolios which were pretty good......also for when they started in the Franchise stuff.
