Cleaning business website checklist: what your site needs

Someone looking for a cleaner usually wants three quick answers: do you clean my kind of place, do you come to my area, and roughly what will it cost?

Pages a cleaning business website needs

Page	Its job	Must include
Home	Say what you clean and where	Headline with service and area, one quote button, contact details
Service pages (one each)	Answer “do you do this?”	What’s included and not, how pricing works
Service areas	Answer “do you come to me?”	Towns, ZIP codes or postcodes in text; one page per main town for larger firms
Pricing	Set expectations	Starting prices or what the price depends on
About / team	Build trust	Real names or photos, insurance or checks you actually have
Reviews	Show proof	Real reviews with permission, or a link to your Google reviews
FAQ	Handle common questions	Supplies, keys, pets, cancellations
Contact / quote	Turn a visit into a request	Short form, reply time
Privacy and terms	Cover the legal basics	How form data is used; booking and cancellation policy

1. The business website’s first screen

• A plain headline saying what you clean and where (“House cleaning in north Austin”, “Office cleaning across south London”).
• One clear button: “Get a quote” or “Book a clean”. Not five competing buttons.
• Your phone number or email visible without scrolling, if you take inquiries that way.
• A real photo of your team or your work if you have one, with alt text describing it.

2. Services and service areas

• Only list what you actually do: regular, deep, move-in/move-out (US) or end of tenancy (UK), office, short-let turnovers.
• Give each main service its own page, with what’s included and what isn’t (inside ovens, windows, laundry).
• Write out the towns, ZIP codes or postcodes you cover. Larger firms can add a page per main town, as long as each page says something genuinely local.

3. Prices, or how your pricing works

• A starting price or a range if you’re comfortable sharing one.
• If not, explain what the price depends on: size, condition, frequency.
• Whether supplies are included, and your cancellation policy.

Building or upgrading the site costs money too. See what a cleaning business website costs or our fixed website packages.

4. A quote form that reaches the business

• Ask only what you need to quote: name, email or phone, ZIP code or postcode, type of clean, size (bedrooms/bathrooms or square footage), how often, preferred day.
• Quote form or online booking? A form suits jobs that vary; booking suits fixed, repeat cleans. More in our quote and booking form guide.
• Send a test submission each month and check it arrives.
• Add basic spam protection, such as a hidden field or a rate limit, rather than a puzzle visitors have to solve.
• Tell people when they will hear back, and keep that promise.

5. Trust signals, but only true ones

• Real reviews, with permission, or a link to your Google reviews. Never invent or buy reviews: it breaks Google’s policies and, in the US, the FTC’s rule on fake reviews.
• Insurance, background or DBS checks, or certifications, only if you have them.
• Your real name or team photo. People are letting you into their home or office.

6. A business site built for phones

• Many visitors will be on a phone: buttons big enough to tap, text readable without zooming.
• A tap-to-call or quote button that stays easy to reach.
• Forms that open the right keyboard for email and phone fields.

7. Fast, secure and measurable

• HTTPS on every page.
• Compress photos and avoid autoplay videos and heavy sliders.
• Test with Google’s free PageSpeed Insights and fix the biggest items it flags.
• Connect Google Search Console so you can see which searches show your site. If you add analytics cookies on a UK site, get consent first.

8. Local SEO basics for cleaning businesses

• A unique page title and description on every page, mentioning the service and area.
• The same business name, address or service area, and phone number everywhere: site, Google Business Profile, directories.
• LocalBusiness structured data (schema) on the site, matching those details.
• Submit your sitemap in Search Console.
• A Google Business Profile, claimed and filled in.

These basics help Google understand your site. They don’t guarantee a ranking or any number of inquiries.

9. Legal pages for a cleaning business

US	UK
Privacy policy if your form collects personal details	UK GDPR privacy notice for form data
Don’t publish fake or bought reviews (FTC rule)	Consent before any non-essential cookies, such as analytics or ads (ICO guidance)
Booking and cancellation terms	Booking and cancellation terms

Frequently asked questions

How many pages does a cleaning business website need?

A solo cleaner can start with a home page, a contact or quote page and a privacy page. As you grow, add one page per main service and per main area you cover.

Do I need online booking?

Not always. A quote form suits jobs that vary in size, such as deep cleans or offices. Online booking suits fixed, repeat services. Many cleaners start with a quote form.

Should I show prices?

If you can, show a starting price or explain what the price depends on. Visitors want an idea of cost before they ask for a quote.

Do I need a privacy policy?

If your form collects names, emails or addresses, yes. UK sites need a UK GDPR privacy notice.
