Guys
so if everyone has a page on their site that educates prospects about rug doctors (not dis respect them) then thats half the battle. if we work together we can change stuff like this.
I dont see photos or peoples comments about these guys has anyone else ?
Its no good just us all talking about these issues we need to prove to prospects that its the wrong choice but with the right words so it does not sound bad. you have to let people have those choices but explain the risk.
I read mumsnet a lot and you should read the how people really see carpet cleaning. we have done a poor job of educating the public. The internet has not helped they should rename google, price shopper.
Problem is that people know that rug doctors can clean carpets then they think how much would i pay someone to clean, most will just make the connection between domestic cleaners and add the two together and they have a price for how much it should cost to clean a carpet. its only after this experience that they turn to the high end professional.
here is a great example. big problem is that we as carpet cleaners are not allowed to comment on mumsnet. so how do you educate these people? this is not just one case I have another four thousand comments on just mumsnet. and I have not even started on facebook yet

BTW Laurence I used to know a carpet cleaner that lived in Leeds and he would drive to the other side of Leeds to do business and made lots of money do it.
