Case Study

Modern Maid
From Referrals to a Waitlist.

Hannah ran a growing cleaning business entirely on word-of-mouth. No website. No way for new clients to find her. We changed that — and she's been turning clients away ever since.

The Challenge

A thriving business
hidden from the internet.

  1. 01

    No website. No way to be found.

    Searching for cleaning services in Columbus returned zero results for Modern Maid. Every potential client who searched — and didn't already know Hannah — was sent to a competitor instead.

    A clean, conversion-focused site with transparent pricing and easy booking — the first thing new clients find when they search for Columbus cleaning services.

  2. 02

    Word-of-mouth doesn't scale.

    Entirely dependent on referrals meant seasonal gaps, no control over inquiry volume, and growth capped by how fast existing clients could spread the word.

    Local SEO targeting Columbus cleaning searches and Google Business Profile optimization — a steady stream of organic leads that runs independent of referrals.

  3. 03

    No online booking. Clients couldn't commit.

    Every inquiry required a phone call. Clients who wanted to book at 10pm on a Wednesday had no way to do it — and many didn't call back the next morning.

    An online quote form and scheduling system that converts while Hannah is on the job — no phone tag, no missed opportunities.

  4. 04

    No pricing transparency. Tire-kickers, not buyers.

    Without pricing visible online, every inquiry started from scratch. Serious clients and price-shoppers arrived identically — wasting Hannah's time on conversations that never converted.

    Transparent service tiers published online that pre-qualify leads before they submit. Clients arrive knowing what to expect — and ready to commit.

The Scope

Everything we shipped.

Conversion-First Website

A clean, trust-forward site built around how clients decide — reliability, consistency, and Hannah's personal standard front and center. Designed to convert at every scroll depth.

Transparent Pricing Pages

Service tiers with clear pricing published online — pre-qualifying leads before the first contact, so every inquiry comes from a client who already understands what they're buying.

Online Quote Form

A simple, low-friction quote request and scheduling system that converts visitors while Hannah is on the job. No phone tag, no missed inquiries, no manual back-and-forth.

Local SEO

Full SEO architecture targeting Columbus cleaning searches — schema markup, location pages, and content structured around how homeowners search when they're ready to book.

Google Business Profile

Full GBP optimization that put Modern Maid on the map for Columbus cleaning searches — photos, services, Q&A, and a review response strategy that builds trust at the zero-click moment.

Review Collection System

An automated follow-up system that turns satisfied clients into public reviews — compounding trust, improving local rankings, and giving new clients the social proof they need to book.

The Result

Referral-free.
Running a waitlist.

Hannah went from relying entirely on referrals to running a waitlist. The site gets quotes, answers pricing questions, and converts visitors — while she's on the job.
