Cleaning Company PPC Measured in Recurring Clients
Cleaning Google Ads is cheap by contractor standards and easy to judge wrongly. Residential clicks run $3 to $12 and leads $25 to $80. Against a biweekly client worth roughly $4,680 a year, almost any lead price works — provided the lead becomes a plan rather than a single clean.
We manage it for $1,000 a month flat, with your ad spend going straight to Google.

How We Run Paid Search for Cleaning Companies
Iwebs Design builds cleaning ad accounts around the difference between a signup and a client. Residential and commercial run as separate campaigns because their economics diverge sharply: residential clicks cost $3 to $12 with leads at $25 to $80, while commercial clicks run $8 to $25 with leads at $60 to $200, per 2026 cleaning industry research. Within residential we bid toward recurring intent rather than one-off deep cleans, because a biweekly client at $180 a visit is worth around $4,680 a year against roughly $180 for a single job. Conversion tracking counts recurring signups, not form fills, since an account optimised for volume will happily deliver one-off cleans forever. Call and booking tracking goes on from day one. Our management fee is $1,000 a month flat whatever you spend.

This is the mistake that quietly caps cleaning companies. You tell Google to get you more conversions, Google finds the easiest conversions, and the easiest conversions in cleaning are one-off deep cleans and move-out cleans.
You end up with a busy calendar, decent-looking cost per lead, and no recurring base. Six months later the revenue looks the same as it did before.
So the tracking has to distinguish them. When Google knows a recurring signup is the goal, it bids differently, and the account optimises toward the searches that produce plans. Cost per lead usually rises and cost per year of revenue falls, which is the trade you want.
Residential and Commercial Cleaning Ads Compared
Separate campaigns, separate budgets, separate definitions of success.
| Residential | Commercial | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per click | $3 to $12 | $8 to $25 |
| Cost per lead | $25 to $80 | $60 to $200 |
| What converts | Pricing, checklist, instant booking | References, insurance, square-foot rates |
| Time to revenue | Days | Weeks to months |
| Judge it on | Recurring plan signups | Contracts and pipeline |
Figures from 2026 Google Ads research for cleaning companies.
Where Cleaning Ad Budgets Leak
Four leaks, and none of them are about the click price.
Optimising for one-off cleans
The cheapest conversions are single jobs. Without recurring-signup tracking, Google will keep finding them and your plan base will not grow.
Residential and commercial blended
A campaign spanning $3 clicks and $25 clicks cannot bid sensibly for either. The expensive commercial terms drain the residential budget.
Advertising outside your routes
Cleaning margins depend on schedule density. Paying for enquiries across a whole metro produces clients who wreck your route efficiency.
Bidding on job seekers
Cleaning jobs, house cleaner wanted, cleaning salary. Substantial volume, zero customers. A negative keyword list is not optional here.
Why We Charge Flat Instead of a Percentage
Most agencies charge a flat fee or 15% to 20% of spend. We charge $1,000 flat and your budget goes directly to Google on your own card.
In this trade the percentage model is particularly badly aligned. Cleaning ads are cheap, so the right advice is often to keep spend modest and focus on converting enquiries into plans. A percentage fee makes that advice cost us money.
Flat pricing means the only way we look good is more recurring clients, which is also the only number that grows your business.
