Cleaning Services - PPC
When someone searches "office cleaning near me" or "deep cleaning service [city]," they're ready to act. A well-targeted ad with a strong landing page can turn that search into a booked job in minutes. A poorly built campaign burns through budget with nothing to show for it. We build and manage PPC programs for residential and commercial cleaning companies that convert searchers into leads, not just clicks.
Why it works
Cleaning searches carry strong commercial intent and more accessible CPC economics than categories like HVAC or legal. Google Ads CPCs for cleaning terms average $8-$15 per click in most markets. Well-optimized campaigns convert at 10-15% from click to lead, producing cost per lead in the $30-$100 range depending on market competitiveness and campaign structure. For residential recurring clients, a single conversion can represent $1,800-$3,000 in annual revenue. For commercial contracts, a single signed client can be worth $5,000-$15,000+ per year. The economics work when campaigns are built properly.
Approach
The most common mistake in cleaning PPC is running residential and commercial intent into the same campaign with the same ads and landing page. We build separate structures for each: residential campaigns target booking-ready searches with tight geographic boundaries and immediate-conversion landing pages, and commercial campaigns use longer-form pages built for a facility manager's due diligence.
We use phrase and exact match targeting for high-intent terms like "recurring house cleaning [city]," "bonded house cleaning service," and "commercial janitorial company [city]," with aggressive negative keyword lists to filter out job seekers, DIY searches, and out-of-area clicks. Specialty services like post-construction and Airbnb cleaning get their own ad groups.
Cleaning ad copy needs to establish trust (bonded, insured, background-checked), signal pricing transparency, and differentiate from franchise competitors, all in a small space. We write and test multiple variations per campaign and update copy based on performance data throughout the campaign lifecycle.
Sending cleaning PPC traffic to your homepage is one of the most reliable ways to waste ad spend. Every campaign we manage sends traffic to purpose-built pages that match the specific search, have one clear CTA, and embed your booking tool or make the phone number impossible to miss.
We set up conversion tracking for every meaningful action on your site: form submissions, phone calls initiated from the site, and completed online bookings. Tracking goes live before the campaign runs its first dollar of spend, so we know which keywords and pages actually produce leads.
Residential demand spikes around spring cleaning, pre-holiday deep cleans, and post-holiday January bookings. Commercial contracts close year-round with budget cycle influences in Q4 and Q1. We adjust budgets and messaging around these patterns.
Cleaning companies serve defined service areas, and spend outside those areas is wasted. We target at the zip code level rather than broad city or metro targeting that captures searches from areas you can't serve.
A franchise's generic "professional cleaning services" ad can't beat a locally targeted ad for "weekly house cleaning [specific neighborhood]" when the landing page delivers what the search promised. Specificity is the independent company's edge.
LSAs charge per lead rather than per click and appear above both standard ads and organic results for many cleaning searches. We can manage LSA alongside your standard Google Ads campaigns to maximize coverage without cannibalizing performance.

Good to know
PPC programs start as low as $500/month for branding or awareness campaigns. Lead-generation programs, where you're trying to generate a consistent flow of booked appointments, typically require $1,500-$3,000/month in ad spend for a single residential market. Dual-intent programs covering both residential and commercial, or multi-market campaigns, run higher. Management fees are separate from ad spend and are scoped based on campaign complexity.
PPC can produce leads within the first week of a campaign going live. New campaigns take 2-4 weeks to optimize as the algorithm gathers data on which keywords, times of day, and audience segments perform best. We set expectations around a 60-day ramp period before judging campaign performance definitively.
Yes. We can manage both as part of an integrated paid search program. LSAs charge per lead rather than per click and appear above standard ads for many cleaning searches, and they can be a very efficient lead source for residential companies. We'll assess whether LSA makes sense for your market during the consultation.
We build dedicated landing pages for each campaign or ad group. These are separate from your main site pages and optimized specifically for conversion. They match the search intent that triggered the ad, include your trust credentials prominently, and embed your booking tool or a high-visibility contact form. We don't send PPC traffic to generic service pages or your homepage.
Yes, with the right campaign structure. Commercial cleaning PPC needs a different approach than residential: the keyword targets, ad copy, landing page content, and conversion flow all get designed for a longer decision cycle and a different type of buyer. We build commercial campaigns separately from residential so each gets the right strategy rather than a compromise between the two.
