YES AT LEAST A £1000 A YEAR WORTH OF BUSINESS but i think you need to put a lot of regular work into it and Adwords, if you want a lot from it...or a good SEO

Just redesigned mine with some help and pull in around 3/4 gutter vac jobs a month. 1 or 2 window cleaning customers a month. 2 or 3 roofs and month. And 56 emails a month telling me to use some random guy in India for my SEO needs :D

After the redesign. Concentrated heavily on SEO. And it's working well. But I lost a lot of rankings as I messed around too much with remaining stuff. So most URLs were dead :(

Ours is working well for us, we used Nat Jones to design and get up and running, we did some of our own research too, and discussed with Nat some further tweaks we wanted and then he was able to implemte tweak further. Very pleased overall.
Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

Its worth saying that a website on its own isn't always very effective. If you have local competition, you'll need to put effort into social media (Facebook is brilliant) and maybe blog entries too - you'll need to do this on a regular basis to help your site rank consistently ahead of your competition. Smudger's FB page is one to watch,.. its spot on for a window cleaning company. :)

Yep, its no amazing SEO But just silly things like renaming pictures helped. Instead of IMG_1213244. I renamed all images to be xxxwindowcleaning Actually picked up a solar panel job coz of it!

Good news ( mostly ) but yes it does depend heavily on SEO in my opinion, which is why im starting a MAJOR SEO campaign starting January.

I've built sites for people who tend to just leave them and hope they pull the work in for them, but 99% dont work out like that. Best thing is to get the misses on facebook ( if she dont work ) and get her to plug your business at every opportunity to everyone you both know.

This can be time consuming though....
