Someone looking for a window cleaner has usually just moved into an estate, or watched the neighbour’s windows being done and wondered who did them. They search “window cleaner near me” or “window cleaning Dublin 15”, and they want three things fast: do you cover their road, what does a three-bed semi cost, and how often you come. Most websites for window cleaners in Dublin, where they exist at all, answer none of those, and the job goes to whoever replied first on a local Facebook group.
Your round is the product
A window cleaning business is a round. You have your estates, your days, and a route that makes the fuel and the hours add up. A new customer two roads over from your Thursday run is gold. A new customer on the far side of the M50 is a nuisance you will probably turn down. The website should be built around that.
List the areas you actually cover and, if you are happy to, the day you are usually in each. A customer who sees their own estate named will text you. One who has to guess will not. The same list goes on your Google Business Profile as a service area, so the listing shows for searches from the places you want and not from the ones you do not.
The questions that come before the first clean
Price by house type. A three-bed semi, a four-bed detached, a bungalow, a terraced house with a back lane. Customers compare you with the last cleaner they had, so a from price per house type with the frequency beside it saves twenty texts a week.
Frames, sills and doors. Say whether they are included. Most pure water cleaners do frames and sills as standard, and customers who had a traditional cleaner skip them will be pleased to read it.
Pole or ladder. Plenty of people have never heard of a water-fed pole. A sentence explaining that purified water dries without spots and that you work from the ground without a ladder against their gutters answers a question they did not know they had.
Do we need to be home. Usually no, if the side gate is open. Say that, and say how they pay if nobody is in.
Rain. Every window cleaner has had the “it rained after you left” conversation. Put your answer on the page once and point people to it.
Gutters, fascias and the conservatory roof
The add-ons are where the money per visit goes up. Gutter clearing in autumn when the leaves come down, fascia and soffit washing in spring when the green shows, conservatory roofs, solar panels if you do them. Each gets a line and a before and after photo.
A photo of a gutter packed with moss beside the same gutter empty sells the job better than any paragraph. The same goes for a grey uPVC frame gone back to white. If you also do driveways and patios, that work sits better on its own power washing page than buried under windows.
Spring, the run-up to Christmas, and the dark months
Window cleaning has a shape to its year. March and April bring new customers who have looked at their windows in the first bright sun. November and early December fill with people who want the house right for visitors. January is quiet and the short days cut what you can fit in. Commercial work, shopfronts and offices, runs weekly or fortnightly all year, often before the shop opens.
The site can carry a line for each of those seasons from your phone: gutter clearing booked for October, two spaces left on the Christmas run. You open the private edit page from an email link, type it, save.
Getting paid without chasing
The oldest problem in the trade is the envelope under the pot that is not there. Say how you take payment on the page: cash, bank transfer, Revolut. On Complete you can send a card payment link after each clean so the customer taps and it is done, with the money going to your account. Whichever way you do it, writing it down once ends the awkward doorstep conversation.
What we need from you
Your prices by house type and frequency, the estates and days you cover, what you include as standard, how you take payment, your insurance, and eight or ten before and after photos from your phone. Ten minutes on the phone or at the van, and we have the rest.
Plan and price
Essentials suits almost every window cleaner: €499 to set up and €50 a month, no contract, VAT on top, for the site, the .ie domain, hosting and the Google listing done right. Complete makes sense if you want a chat box that answers “do you do Castleknock” while you are up a pole, or payment links after each clean. The two plans are side by side on the pricing page, and how to set up a Google Business Profile in Ireland covers the service area part if you want to read ahead.
