The 5 things that move the needle for window cleaners
If you only had a fortnight to invest in your online presence, do these in this order.
Service-specific pages (residential, commercial, gutter cleaning, fascia)
Each service gets its own page. Different keywords, different copy, different schema.
Before/after photo showcase
Real properties, real dirt, real results. Grubby to sparkling is a powerful visual.
Seasonal scheduling
Post content in autumn (gutters) and spring (pollen prep). Time your messaging to customer pain points.
Neighborhood-specific pages
'Window cleaning in [suburb]', 'Gutter cleaning [area]'. Targets searchers who want a local person they can trust.
Insurance + certification visible
Public liability insurance badge. Reassures nervous homeowners.
What we see in the wild
Common window cleaner-site SEO failures we find in real audits.
Generic photos or no before/after. Service areas vague. Phone only (no online booking or quote form). GBP missing or outdated. Website looks DIY (undermines trust for home access). No seasonal content (miss gutter season and spring-clean timing).
What happens when you run a Flatline audit on a window 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 window cleaner-specific gaps
Missing schema, no service-specific landing pages, NAP inconsistency, weak structured data — every finding is mapped to what a window 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 gutter-cleaning pages and seasonal autumn content, we went from competing on price to booking premium residential contracts at 25% higher rates."

Common questions
How often should windows be professionally cleaned?+
Monthly for homes in dusty areas, quarterly standard, twice yearly for most. Recommend your ideal cadence based on their location.
Is gutter cleaning the same as window cleaning?+
Related but separate. Offer both, or partner with gutter specialists. Mention gutter cleaning on window pages to cross-sell.
Do you clean solar panels?+
If yes, promote it heavily. Solar cleaning is high-intent and high-margin. If no, mention solar-panel-installer partnerships.
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.
