forums are about helping our fellow carpet cleaners. mitch has found a service that would be of interest to people on this forum, he's used his services and is very happy with them, so he's sharing it with us. you've never used his services and are all ready slagging him off. don't think i need to say anymore really, do i.
derek,
these forums are about helpinf fellow cleaners, i have seen a service which seems too good to be true so posting my views to help people on this forum. i see this rubbish all the time and i'm sharing how i feel about it with you. i've never used his services nor have i ever used a rug doctor, does that mean i can't slag off the service? if someone comes here saying they use a rug doctor and it works does that mean we can't give our opinions of it and how much better a professional carpet cleaning machine would be? don't think i need to say anymore really, do i?
Just did a quick search to find out where you ranked for carpet cleaning Guildford and guess what you were not to be found. Now please do a search for carpet cleaning sutton coldfield (my home town) or commercial cleaning walsall and see where my two sites rank. This throws your assumption that this cant be done right out of the window.

just did a quick search and i couldn't find
http://www.carpetcleaners-surrey.co.uk/ either

why would i rank high on google for carpet cleaning? what do i do towards it? i guess i should pay £199 for this service yeah and my site will magically be on page number 1? wow sounds so good i can't beleive it's true. you're actually proving why this is a waste of money, he guarantees you first page google within a month yet some who mine isn't first page google and i've done even more then he offers. anyone else think something isn't adding up? anyone heard of google sandbox? if not google it

Why pay £195 when you can do it yourself for $47 for a year, this will include domain if available, hosting and a very simple easy to use site builder :
I could rent a rug doctor and clean my carpets myself although I don think I could do as good a job as a pro - cleaner with a truck mount machine.
you're doing the exact equivalent with websites. pay £50 for a rug doctor, or pay a professional a decent amount of money and get something done professionally. £195 is the amateur prices, not professionals, don't go following yourself thinking you're paying for more then a slight redesign of a free temaplte. as mentioned it's too good to be true but everyone forgets that as they don't understand the technology. why isn't eveyone doing this wonderful new idea? what happens when 10 people do it in one area? it's impossible to be on page one for everyone is there is more then 10?

Westy, I take it you are one of the "clean a full house for £50" brigade. If you want a professional job you have to pay for it. You also have to ask yourself "what value do I put on my time?" and "how long will it take me to put together a website of a similar standard". When you have answered those questions are you still looking at $47 and will anybody be able to find your site. Wake up and smell the coffee.....
I'm quite capable of making a website from simple templates and adding logos and text to it and charging someone for my time, I was just pointing out that if someone wants to cut costs that their are many companys that offer the whole package if you have the time to design it yourself. Good luck to you.
exactly, this is all that's happening. a free template, change name, change text, change colours, and charge £199. this can be done yourself and should be. £199 is too good to be true, we all know it is, else everyone on here would get a website done by this guy, and then have a number one page website, yet some reason they aren't.
can someone who is thinking clearly, that hasn't been swept up by the prices just like any other customer out there they'd happily slag off if they did the same with carpet cleaning, explain why i'm posting that this is too good to be true if it wasn't? what would be my reason to try and save people their money? so that i dont have compeition (i don't do carpet cleaning myself and put no seo into carpet cleaning so this isn't why) because i'm a previous customer who didn't get anything promised (nope would never use a service like this, just as no one here would use a rug doctor), i can't think of one reason i'd bother posting if it wasn't to help people make the right choice. pay a professional for a professional website or do it free, don't pay an amateur to do something you can do for free.
also thought i'd point out a website they own and some worrying stuff about it.
