How to get your first 10 cleaning clients

Getting your first clients can feel like the hardest part of launching your cleaning business.

But don’t worry—I’ve got 5 simple strategies to help you kickstart your journey and start bringing in revenue.

1) Leverage Friends & Family:

Your personal network is your secret weapon. Call them individually to ask if they need cleaning or know someone who does. Sweeten the deal with a discount code, like $20 off their first clean!

2) Join Local Facebook Groups:

Look for parenting or community groups in your area. Keep an eye out for posts asking for cleaning recommendations and jump in with your details (and a discount code). Just don’t overdo the self-promotion!

3) Use Pay-Per-Lead Platforms:

Sites like Bark and Thumbtack let you purchase leads from potential clients. Focus on recurring jobs for maximum ROI, and always call the lead ASAP to close the deal.

4) Try Google Local Service Ads (LSA):

These ads target local clients searching for cleaners on Google. After setting up your Google Business Profile, you can start getting exclusive leads directly from Google.

5) Explore Google Ads:

Once you’ve got some revenue, invest in targeted Google Ads. It’s more complex but can give you an edge over competitors.

Each of these strategies is budget-friendly and designed to get your business moving FAST! Good luck
