Aaron's take

Window cleaning is a seasonal, repeat business. Searches peak from May to July and are lowest in December and January, with the busiest month about twice the quietest. "Window cleaning near me" gets around 60,500 searches a month in the US, and commercial window cleaning and solar panel cleaning have their own searches.

The window cleaners that win online show clear prices, explain what is included, such as screens and tracks, offer recurring plans and pair window cleaning with gutter cleaning and pressure washing. Nine of the 10 most-reviewed window cleaners I checked also list pressure washing on their profile.

Your website

Pages your website needs

In the order I would build them. Each page targets one group of searches.

  1. Residential window cleaning page

    Explain what is included and the price.

  2. Commercial window cleaning page

    Storefronts and offices order regular, repeat cleaning.

  3. Screen and track cleaning page

    A common add-on with its own searches.

  4. Solar panel cleaning page

    About 9,900 searches a month. A growing add-on.

  5. Recurring plans page

    Regular customers are the core of the business.

  6. Bundles page

    Pair windows with gutter cleaning and pressure washing.

What to get right

  • Use Window cleaning service as your primary category. Of the 10 most-reviewed US window cleaners I checked, 9 added Pressure washing service and 8 added Gutter cleaning service.
  • Add those only if you offer them.
  • Post before and after photos, especially of hard water stains and screens.
  • Ask recurring customers for reviews each season.

Reviews

Reviews that matter for window cleaners

Where reviews count

  • Google
  • Yelp
  • Angi
  • Nextdoor
  • Ask every customer, not only the happy ones, right after the job is done.
  • Send one short message with a direct link, so leaving a review takes a single tap.
  • Reply to every review, good or bad, calmly and specifically.
  • Never pay for reviews or offer anything in return. It breaks Google's rules.

Ads and SEO

Local Services Ads, Google Ads and SEO

Window Cleaners can advertise with Local Services Ads, the "Google Verified" ads that sit above everything else for many local searches. You pay per lead, not per click.

  • Google category: Window cleaning
  • The Google Verified badge is available for this category.
  • Pre-badge ads are available while verification is pending.
  • Booking leads are available.

Google is moving Local Services Ads into Performance Max with pay-per-lead goals, starting with a first US phase in August 2026.

Ads and SEO work best together. Ads buy leads while your organic and map rankings grow, and strong reviews and a complete Google Business Profile help both. As SEO brings in more leads for free, you can lower ad spend on the searches you already win.

For context, Google search ads in the Home & Home Improvement category average $90.92 per lead (LocaliQ, 2026). That is a search ads benchmark, not a Local Services Ads lead price.

Mistakes

Mistakes window cleaners make

  1. No prices

    Customers compare. Clear prices win.

  2. One-off focus

    Recurring plans are where the profit is.

  3. Ignoring add-ons

    Gutters and pressure washing raise the value of each visit.

  4. Missing spring

    Searches peak in late spring. Be ready by April.

FAQ

Window Cleaning SEO questions

When do people search for window cleaning?

In the US, window cleaning searches peak from May to July and are lowest in December and January, with the busiest month about twice the quietest. Pages, prices and recurring plans should be ready by April. Autumn cleans before the holidays are another good time to promote.

Can window cleaners use Local Services Ads?

Yes, if it suits your budget. Window cleaning is one of Google's US Local Services Ads categories, and the Google Verified badge, pre-badge ads and booking leads are all available. Think of the ads as a fast source of leads while organic and map rankings grow. Google says these ads are ranked on factors such as your distance from the customer, your reviews and how quickly you respond to leads.

Should window cleaners offer recurring plans?

Yes. Recurring customers are the core of a profitable window cleaning business. Show prices for regular visits next to one-off prices, and make it easy to sign up after a first clean. Commercial clients often want monthly service. A simple reminder system keeps recurring customers on schedule.

Which add-ons should window cleaners promote?

Gutter cleaning, pressure washing, screens and solar panels. Nine of the 10 most-reviewed US window cleaners I checked also list Pressure washing service. Bundles raise the value of each visit and give customers one company for the job. Show bundle prices clearly on your site.

How much does SEO cost for a window cleaning company?

That comes down to three things: the competition where you work, how many services and towns you want to target, and the state of your website today. For most window cleaners, a monthly arrangement works best, because local rankings build over time. I start by looking at your site and your rivals, then send a fixed quote.
