Can some of you veterans take a look at my site and tell me what you think? I'm in 5th place on yellowpages in Dallas, I'm #1 on yahoo local in all of the cities I service (dallas is made up of all of these little towns) and I think I am getting really good exposure. Type in "carpet cleaning dallas,tx" in yahoo and there you will see me up at the top! But I don't know, the jobs aren't coming in nearly as fast as they need to be, especially for all of the money I spend on advertising. I truly offer a great service, I don't nickel and dime my customers and I break my back to earn their referrals and repeat business. My prices are very competetive and definately the lowest for the quality I offer. Do you think they are too low?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! http://atlantiscarpetcleaning.com Aren't the holidays supposed to be the hot months? When I worked for the big companies we were SLAMMED November and December! BTW I just dropped a bunch of mailers to homeowners in my area with kids and pets. They go out on Monday so hopefully that will generate a lot of business but in the mean time it's SLOW! I mean like 2 or 3 calls on a good day, some days without any calls! I book about 80% of what comes through the phone (minus jobs out of my area). My customers are ecstatic because I sincerly want to offer a great service but it's getting them to see how good we are is the problem! |

I like the site. Very informative.....maybe a little too much info for the average consumer. I don't like the pink background, but maybe it will attract women.
As far as pricing. Charge whatever YOUR market will bear. The rest of us don't know what that is  -------------

looks good....hope it does well for you!!! your service looks like it's together...
Personally I found the website thing to be a waste of time... becareful with google ad...that crap will make you broke. If you have to put out flyers to direct people to your website your wasting your time. I would watch it for 2-3 months... if you are not picking up calls from it..get rid of it..just keep an e-mail addy where you can send out quotes. I do alot with just my e-mail address. you can have drafts with picture ready when it comes time to reply. ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |
