You clean perfectly, but does your marketing shine?
Websites for cleaning companies.
The cleaning services market in the Netherlands (Schoonmaak) is huge, but also crowded. Thousands of companies compete for clients based on hourly rates. How to stand out? How to win contracts for office cleaning instead of individual apartments?
Answer: Professional image. A large company won't outsource office cleaning to someone without a website, a company email, and a tax identification number (TIN) in their signature.
Exit the "Gray Area" of Image
For a Dutchman, a lack of a website often signifies a "black zone" (zwart). If you want to invoice legally and work for companies (B2B), you need to look professional.
The website I created for a cleaning company includes:
- Price list package (Instead of hourly rates, sell packages - you'll earn more.).
- "About Us" section from VOG Certificate of good conduct - key for trust when cleaning homes.
2. Booking Machine
Are you tired of phones: "Are you free on Thursday at 2:00 PM?", when you're washing windows?
I'm implementing online booking systems on websites. The client comes in, sees your calendar, chooses a date, enters the square footage, and... that's it. You only get a notification: "New order.".
3. The "Before and After" Effect"
Nothing sells cleaning services quite like the sight of a dirty floor transforming into a mirror. On my clients' websites, I install interactive sliders. The user moves the slider and sees the magic of your work. It works on the imagination better than text.
Leave your mark.
Are you finishing cleaning the office? Leave a nice business card at reception with QR code (or stick a discreet NFC sticker on the soap dispenser if the customer allows).
What happens after scanning?
The customer's phone will automatically open your form page: "Report a service need / order cleaning supplies" or redirect to Google reviews. This builds loyalty. I'll combine these solutions with your new website.

Stop fighting on price. Start winning on quality and convenience.
4. Trust (Reliability) is currency
The cleaning industry is a high-trust industry. You enter someone's private home or office full of expensive equipment. If your "business card" is just a phone number on Marktplaats, the client will be afraid.
A professional website serves as digital identifier. When designing it, I highlight elements that reassure the client:
Security Package on the Website
- ✔ Insurance Information (Liability Insurance): The client knows that if you break a vase, the insurance company will cover the damages.
- ✔ Certificate of Conduct A clear icon indicating you have a "clean record.".
- ✔ Customer reviews: Google star rating widget that shows others already trust you.
5. Don't just be a "Cleaning Company"
The Dutch Google very specific services. If you just write "cleaning" on your website, you'll get lost in the crowd. When building your website's structure, I create dedicated sections for specific phrases that have less competition and higher bids.
Example phrases I will optimize your site for:
Thanks to this, when someone searches "move-out cleaning, and it's you who gets it, not some big corporation that only does office buildings.
6. Scaling: Are you hiring?
When you secure B2B contracts, you'll need people to do the work. A website is not only a tool to find clients, but also employees.
Career / Work at"
A professional website attracts professional employees. Instead of dealing with random people from Facebook, create a recruitment form on your own domain. This builds the image of a serious employer.
Your business deserves to shine.
