Cleaning Services in Las Vegas and Henderson Nevada Why some survive and some Don't

After the September 2008 crash many people lost their jobs by February 2009 the economy was shedding a hundred's of thousand's jobs per month or more. Some of the newly unemployed saw cleaning houses and offices as easy money. Since the rescission people found themselves looking for a new occupation and its seemed easy to clean up in a new Janitorial or Maid Service. The thought was they could get started with relatively no capital or experience in the cleaning business. Quickly they found out that the cleaning business is not a very easy way to make a living.

Although this new entrepreneur would be quickly up and running with their $150 business licence and $200 in chemicals and tools they would needed to clean offices or homes. Most of those small upstarts by the early half of this decade will have failed to survive. The cleaning companies that had been already in business before the downturn saw their client list have a sharp decrease do to the  influx of individuals starting out and undercutting the brick and mortar shops, also devastating to the established shops was the down turn itself companies (Clients) needed to cut back and Janitorial was the first to go clients could easily persuade a employee who's hours had already been cut to stay a little longer that day and clean the office. As for home owners if it was a choice between retaining your housekeeper and keeping your kid in privet school, that's a no brainier..

 In the past few years the cleaning companies in Las Vegas and Henderson who have survived the down tune ether had a strong balance sheet, a large client list or deep pockets to sustain and are just now in 2014 seeing the phones start ringing again.


As for the new entrepreneur in 2009 a reality set in, a person looking to start from scratch in the cleaning world just as fast they found themselves in business with their shinny new mop buckets and framed licences hanging on the wall they needed a client. You see the old day's of just walking fliers from door to door or getting an add in the local phone book were gone. These days its must to have a website and just because you have one doesn't mean it will be effective. Its and new and complex world we live in, new companies and careers get made by doing what called Search Engine Optimization or (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)  process is the knowledge or ability to make a website rise in the ranking of search engines or move your web site to the first page of a respected search engine such as Google. Over the years in most cases cleaning companies in Las Vegas and Henderson Nevada will advertise on the web some use Google Adwords, Bing and Yahoo also have their own pay per click systems as well. The pay per click advertising if your not familiar usually is the top three companies at the top of any search, for example if you enter in your search bar "Maids in Las Vegas" you will find in most cases that the top three findings are in a colored box and in very small print labeled Ads related to maids in Las Vegas underneath the sponsored adds that some company is paying the search engine for the privilege to be at the top of the page.

More than likely the same companies that use sponsored links spend their time and money climbing the charts of Yahoo, Bing and pay to have advertising on various other cleaning orientated sites such a Angie's List, all of thees things can help your site gain prominence above the others. Potential clients should not be detoured from pay per click advertisers like they use to be from large Ad's in the phone book. I remember when I used the phone book to find a plumber let's say, I would turn to the section labeled Plumbers and make my way passed the four to five full page ads to get to the smaller ones, thinking to myself If they have the money to support a full page they are probably very expensive that just not the case with pay per click advertising.  In a increasingly competitive cleaning business pay per click advertising is in some cases the only way to reach a new client and it is much more cost effective you can change your budget almost instantly to fit your schedule or advertising budget for that week advertising in the phone book was a fixed cost. I hope that my thought have been helpful to whomever is reading this if you are a potential client for us at Mayberry's Maids or if you are just getting started out in the cleaning business and looking for helpful hints either way do your homework and just ask if you have a question we would be happy to help.
