SEO for carpet cleaning: the stain, the pet and the price per room
People do not search for carpet cleaning in general. They search for a red wine stain, a dog that had an accident, a move-out inspection on Friday. The carpet cleaner whose site answers that exact problem gets the call, and a site that just says we clean carpets gets compared on price.

Who holds the results
The top of this query is marketing agencies and software for field service businesses. No carpet cleaning company ranks for it.
As in every trade we measure, this phrase is where vendors meet cleaners. Customers search the problem and the town, and that is a different and much smaller field.
Search starts with the problem, so the pages should too
Pet odour and urine, stains, deep cleaning before a move out, upholstery and rugs are separate jobs with separate searches. A page for each, written about that problem, is what gets found. One services page listing all of them gets found for none.
Each of those pages should say what you do differently for that problem: enzyme treatment for pets, what happens if the stain does not come out, how long the carpet takes to dry.
What gets the booking
A price per room or a starting price. Carpet cleaning is one of the few trades where customers expect to see a number before they call, and a site without one loses to the one that has it.
Before and after photos of your own jobs, ideally of the same problem the page is about.
Booking online or by text. This is a small purchase and most people would rather not phone for it.
A plan for regular cleaning, once or twice a year. Homes with pets and landlords between tenants come back, and the site is where that repeat business is offered.
Our published prices: $800 to $2,500 for a one page site, from $3,000 for a business site, $250 / month for ongoing search work, one month at a time.
