Our SEO case studies
Our commercial cleaning SEO services
A property manager replacing a vendor searches "commercial cleaning" or "office cleaning" with a city name, then compares a few contractors before asking for a walk-through. As an SEO agency in Montreal, we build your cleaning company website around those B2B searches and the buying cycle that follows, from the first search to the signed contract.
We build one page per building type
Cleaning an office building is sold differently from cleaning a clinic or the common areas of a condo building. We give each building type its own page: office buildings, medical offices and clinics, retail stores, schools and daycares, warehouses and industrial sites, apartment buildings. Each page answers the questions a facility manager asks: cleaning frequency, after-hours or overnight work, keys and access cards, products used, a dedicated supervisor. City pages and neighborhood pages for each service area come next, each with its own references and photos, with no duplicate content.
We create pages for specialty services
Buyers search for specialty cleaning services in their own terms: window cleaning, floor stripping and waxing, carpet cleaning, disinfection, green cleaning, post-construction cleaning, water damage cleanup. We give them separate service pages, tied to your recurring contract pages through internal links, because a customer who tries a one-time job can later sign a cleaning contract. Short blog guides (recommended cleaning frequency by type of space, how to prepare a walk-through) round out that content.
We put your proof in front of buyers
Before handing keys to a cleaning crew, a facility manager may check your insurance, any bonding you carry, references in comparable offices or clinics, crew stability and your procedure for damage or alarms. Where your state, province or city requires a license or registration, we show it on the right pages. If your company holds CIMS certification from ISSA, the cleaning industry’s worldwide association, we feature it on your service pages and in structured data.
We help you earn Google reviews from business clients, with no incentives. On the link building side, we earn editorial backlinks and guest posts with no shady tactics. For a business buyer, trust can rest on facts they can verify, and your online reputation is one of them. If you work with subcontractors, the page says so and explains how you vet them.
We get your site ready for RFPs
In the U.S., federal contracting offices post procurement notices on SAM.gov; in Canada, tender notices, including janitorial services, are listed on CanadaBuys. There, your bid answers what the contracting authority asks for in the solicitation. In the private sector, a property manager may invite a few companies they first found and checked online, so we build a commercial quote page that asks for square footage, cleaning frequency, access hours and floor types, then offers a walk-through. That multi-step buying process, with several decision-makers, resembles the one described on our B2B SEO agency page.
We work your Business Profile and AI search
For local SEO, we pick the primary category in your Google Business Profile that matches your commercial work rather than house cleaning, then add photos of offices and stores you maintain, with their managers’ permission. In the local pack, your listing may sit next to lead platforms and cleaning franchises. When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot or Google AI Overviews for an office cleaning contractor, the AI answer can draw on those same sources, which our GEO agency covers in depth.

Everything about commercial cleaning SEO
Our janitorial SEO method
The general framework is described on the page for our SEO agency for construction companies. For a janitorial company, it narrows to three steps, carried out directly on your cleaning company website.
We rank your cleaning contracts by value
Our keyword research groups searches by building type and city, sorted by intent, from recurring contracts to one-time jobs, and the strategy starts with the recurring contracts that keep your crews busy. The audit also flags missing pages, on-page SEO fixes such as title tags and meta descriptions, slow site speed on mobile and the common SEO mistakes that technical SEO needs to fix.
We publish the pages and the ads
Our team publishes pages in your WordPress, Wix, Webflow or other CMS, once you approve the content in Google Docs. Google Ads management is included in the mandate, with no management fee: ads on "office cleaning" and your city let you test messages while the organic work gets underway.
We measure requests by building type
Reporting comes as a monthly report or a meeting, whichever you prefer. We tie rankings and organic traffic to qualified leads (walk-through requests and signed contracts) for each building type, with the conversion rate of each form.
What cleaning company SEO costs
A cleaning company SEO mandate costs about $1,500 to $2,000 a month. Pricing depends on the scope of work and the competition in your cities, not on a fixed price grid. Google Ads management is included, with no management fee.

What is SEO for janitorial companies?
SEO for janitorial companies, or cleaning company SEO, is search engine optimization aimed at the business buyers who replace a cleaning vendor or open a new building. The search rarely leads to an immediate purchase: it usually leads to a walk-through and then a written quote, sometimes priced by the square foot.
Commercial cleaning SEO FAQ
Mostly a service and a city, such as office cleaning in Toronto or commercial cleaning services in Chicago. Then come specialty services, such as window cleaning, floor care, carpet cleaning or industrial cleaning, followed by comparison searches before a vendor change. We link each group of searches to its own page, from building types to one-time services. For local SEO, near-me searches can run through your Google Business Profile in Google Maps.
In a public tender or RFP, the evaluation follows the requirements in the solicitation, and your website stays separate from the bid itself. Before inviting companies to bid, a private property manager may search for contractors online and check their references. A clear page for each building type and a walk-through request that is easy to find answer that check. Every claim on your service pages should be something you can prove on request.
Yes, if you carry them. Facility managers may ask for proof of insurance before a walk-through, and a page that states your coverage answers that question early. Bonding, where you have it, belongs on the same page. Where your state, province or city requires a license or registration for cleaning work, the number goes on that page and in the business description of your Google Business Profile. You approve every detail in Google Docs before the page goes live.
A commercial cleaning contract is usually quoted after a walk-through, so a fixed online price helps little. The page can still explain what changes the quote: square footage, cleaning frequency, floor types, access hours and specialty services. A form that asks for that information prepares the walk-through and can speed up the quote. For residential cleaning, a starting price per visit can work better, if you are comfortable publishing it.
If your cleaning company holds it, yes. ISSA’s Cleaning Industry Management Standard applies both to cleaning contractors and to organizations that do their own cleaning in-house; certification goes through an independent assessor and is renewed every two years. We present CIMS on a dedicated page with its validity date, then in your site’s structured data. A certification still in progress is described as exactly that.
Give it its own section. Residential work (deep cleaning, move-out cleaning, post-renovation cleaning, recurring house cleaning) lives on its own pages, with its own vocabulary and its own form. Commercial pages keep the keywords and vocabulary facility managers use: cleaning contract, frequency, square footage, walk-through. Your menu and internal links keep the two paths apart, and your Google Business Profile highlights the work that matters most to your revenue.
They can. When a buyer asks an AI tool like ChatGPT or Perplexity for a commercial cleaning company in their city, the answer may name a few contractors, drawing on their websites, Google Business Profiles, reviews, directories and articles that mention them. We describe your services and service areas the same way on your website and your Google Business Profile. That visibility work is part of the mandate.
The ones that follow your business clients’ calendar. In snowy climates, the salt and grit tracked into entrances justify a page on floor care and entrance mats. Spring brings window cleaning and deep cleaning for offices, and renovation season brings post-construction cleaning. We publish each page ahead of its season, then Google Ads campaigns follow actual demand.
