You can’t give customers what they want if you don’t know it. To learn about the habits, needs, and preferences of the people you’re trying to attract, you need to research them in-depth. Your research should begin with a look at your current client base. You can also try asking for customer feedback through surveys and online reviews. Analyze this feedback to help you better understand what your clients want from your cleaning business.
Then use a combination of online tools and surveys to explore other relevant demographic data about your target market, including:
- Age, gender, location, education level, income level, and profession can all affect potential clients’ needs, preferences, and purchasing power (especially when spending on cleaning services).
- Interests — such as fitness or culinary activities — could dictate the amount of time they have available for cleaning. This is especially important when targeting residential customers.
- Social media presence — which channels they’re active on, how often they post content there, etc. This information will be useful in helping you decide where to focus your social media marketing efforts.
Follower your competitors.
One way of learning marketing strategies for your cleaning business is to research and follow your competitors. If you already have a social media page set up, find out what your competitors are doing on their social media pages. See how often they post, who they communicate with, and what type of content they post.
Learning about customer engagement can give you ideas for building customer loyalty for your cleaning business through social media platforms.
Learn how to engage with your customers by posting regularly and posting high-quality content to keep the audience engaged through all phases of the purchase process. Posting relevant images or video clips can also help increase engagement.
Hashtags are another way to increase engagement and interact with potential clients online and help them find you online to learn more about you and contact you when needing cleaning services.
Claim Your Google My Business Listing
You should first claim your Google My Business listing if you have a new cleaning business. Your Google My Business listing is like a mini-website for your business on Google for those who don’t know. When you type in something like “cleaning” or “Home cleaners”, the search results. Claiming your Google My Business listing takes just a few minutes to set up and allows you to respond to reviews.
Add a CTA to your website.
It would be best if you also created a CTA that directs website visitors to leave you a Google Review. A CTA is simply a “call-to-action,” like, “Leave us a Google review!” It’s best practice to have the CTA above the fold (the first thing your visitor sees) on your website and direct them to your Google My Business page.
Email your customers
Email to past customers is the easiest way to get customer reviews, but it’s also the least likely. Customers feel like they’re being asked for a favor, especially if you don’t make it clear how much it would help your business.
The most likely way to get customer reviews is by posting on social media asking for them because customers like to share their opinions, and giving a review can be over in five minutes or less. However, customer reviews are much more useful when posted on Google. We’ll talk about why in the next section.
The most effective way to get Google reviews is by having your employees ask for them face-to-face after the customer has received a service and seems satisfied with it. Although this method takes more effort than asking via email or social media, customers are more likely to give a review if they know how much having their feedback means to you personally—and it will mean more to them knowing that you care enough about their opinion that you’d ask for it in person instead of sending an impersonal message online.
Target the right customers.
To get a cleaning company review, you need to target the right customer first.
All customers are not the same. You should know that there are customers who will give positive reviews and those who will give negative. Since we are looking for positive reviews, it’s important to target the right customer first.
One of the easiest ways to get more reviews is by targeting loyal clients first. These loyal clients have repeatedly used your services, which is why they would easily give you a review without any problem at all. These are just a few people who will send their reviews almost immediately after using your services.
Ask for reviews from current customers.
Asking for reviews from current customers is a great way to get your business noticed. Here are some tips on how to get more cleaning company reviews:
- Ask for reviews from current customers. If you’re new to the cleaning business, you may not have many customers yet. But that’s okay! Even if you only have one customer, ask them for a review and then share it on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter. You can also post about it on your website or blog (if you have one). This will help spread the word about your company, attracting more customers over time.
- Ask for reviews from friends and family who already use other services such as plumbers or electricians in their homes and offices. Asking them might seem like an obvious choice, but sometimes we forget to ask those closest to us because they’re too busy with their own lives. Also, consider asking colleagues at work–they could be potential clients.
Request and Review your Google Reviews
It’s important to get as many reviews as possible for your business. Here are some tips about how to request and integrate your Google reviews:
- When you’re asking for a review, be sure to ask nicely and after the job is done so that you don’t compromise the service quality.
- When a reviewer gives you a negative review, it’s best to respond promptly. If there is an issue with the customer, try to resolve it confidentially.
- Be cautious if you receive any requests from people who aren’t customers—it’s against Google’s policies. It can result in penalties such as removing all of your business’s reviews.
Boost the cleaning company’s social media accounts to get more followers
It’s helpful to boost posts on Facebook. If a customer gives you a positive review, consider boosting that post, as it can help attract more followers and draw more attention to your services. Similarly, increasing the number of Twitter followers you have can help grow your company.
Positive reviews on Instagram are also beneficial; besides paid advertising on social media, engaging with your customers through Instagram is an effective way to get their feedback.
