The 5 things that move the needle for dry cleaners
If you only had a fortnight to invest in your online presence, do these in this order.
Service menu clarity (dry cleaning, wet cleaning, alterations, specialist fabrics)
Delicates, silks, cashmere need different care. Show your expertise.
Turnaround time + same-day emergency option
'Standard 2-3 days; same-day available for £10 rush fee.'
Location + parking + hours visible
Convenience is key. Easy drop-off, ample parking, extended hours.
Alterations + specialist services
Trousers hemming, jacket tailoring, leather/suede cleaning. Upsell services.
Loyalty program or subscription
Monthly cleaning packages. Recurring revenue.

What happens when you run a Flatline audit on a dry cleaner site
We score your homepage
Performance, on-page SEO, mobile, security, social, crawlability and structured data graded into a single Visibility Score 0-100.
You re-run on a service / specific page
Audit a service-specific page (treatment, menu, area). Service pages usually score 10-15 points lower than homepage — that's where the work is.
We surface the dry cleaner-specific gaps
Missing schema, no service-specific landing pages, NAP inconsistency, weak structured data — every finding is mapped to what a dry cleaner loses by ignoring it.
Track monthly
Re-audit on the 1st of every month. Watch the score climb as you ship fixes. Show the trend in budget conversations.
"After adding a monthly cleaning subscription and same-day rush option, we captured the 'forgot to pick up last week' segment and subscription revenue grew to 20% of sales."

Common questions
How much does dry cleaning cost?+
Show range by item. 'Shirt £3-5, Jacket £8-12, Trousers £4-6.'
How do I know my clothes are safe?+
Explain your care standards. 'We use eco-friendly solvents, itemize each piece, inspect before return.'
Do you do alterations?+
If yes, promote heavily. 'Tailoring, hemming, mending. Free on dry-cleaning orders over £30.'
Is the score the same nationwide?+
Visibility Score itself is universal. What it predicts (rankings) varies by competition. A 70+ in a smaller town often means top of local pack. The same 70 in central London might still be page 2 — competition is the multiplier.
