1. Google Business Profile Optimization
- Optimized Business Name: We changed the business name to include relevant keywords right from the start. When done correctly, this alone can boost search rankings and conversions. (Always check Google’s guidelines before doing this!)
- Selected the Right Category: We chose a niche category that directly served Cleaning Master’s target audience. Niching down locally not only improved search results but also led to more profitable leads.
- Updated Photos: We replaced outdated photos with new, appealing ones. Listings with attractive visuals get more clicks and rank higher. We included friendly faces, team pictures, before/after shots, and behind-the-scenes images to resonate with potential customers.
- Uploaded Videos: Videos were added to appear in mobile search results, enhancing engagement.
- Managed Spam: In industries like cleaning, competitors often create fake listings. We kept a vigilant eye on these and fought against spam daily to maintain Cleaning Master’s top spot.
- Added Relevant Attributes: We ensured that only applicable attributes were added to the GBP. Misleading attributes can lead to negative reviews.
- Weekly Posts: We posted weekly about bottom-of-funnel topics to give potential customers a reason to contact Cleaning Master—whether through trust-building or offering deals that create urgency.
- Added Services: Relevant services were added to the GBP, ensuring optimal visibility and customer relevance.
- Social Profiles & Products: Social profiles and services were listed as products to drive engagement.
2. Website SEO
- Ranked the Homepage: We optimized the homepage for the main service term, balancing branding and ranking.
- Created Service Pages: Pages for each revenue-generating service were developed, focusing on lower search volumes but higher conversion rates.
- Developed Service Area Pages: We created pages targeting specific areas, ensuring comprehensive local coverage.
- Published “Best in Area” Articles: Articles like “Commercial Cleaning Services in Liverpool” helped attract traffic while positioning Cleaning Master prominently.
- Parasite SEO: We replicated articles on platforms like Medium and LinkedIn to drive additional traffic.
3. Citations
- Standard Citations Package: We created 100 niche and country-related citations for additional visibility.
- Bing Optimization: Although Google dominated, Bing provided a small but valuable percentage of leads.
- Directory Sign-Ups: Cleaning Master was registered on directories ranking for primary and secondary keywords.
