Dobbs Exterior Cleaning

Dobbs Exterior Cleaning faced the typical challenges of many local service-based businesses in Northern Ireland - establishing credibility with potential customers who couldn't easily assess their work quality before hiring, and competing in a crowded market where many exterior cleaning companies look identical online. As a professional cleaning company serving Armagh and surrounding areas, they needed to differentiate themselves from competitors while clearly communicating their range of services including window cleaning, gutter cleaning, roof cleaning, and power washing to both residential and commercial clients.

The company's main challenge was converting website visitors into paying customers without an easy way for potential clients to understand their pricing or request quotes. Many exterior cleaning businesses struggle with this because customers want transparency around costs before committing, but traditional contact forms create friction in the customer journey. Additionally, they needed to build trust quickly with homeowners who would be allowing service providers onto their property, requiring clear demonstration of their insurance, professionalism, and track record.

From a digital marketing perspective, Dobbs Exterior Cleaning needed to establish strong local visibility in Armagh and surrounding areas, competing against established cleaning companies while building authority in search results. The exterior cleaning industry relies heavily on local reputation and word-of-mouth, so they needed a website that could capture and showcase customer testimonials effectively while making it simple for satisfied customers to leave reviews and referrals.

We developed a completely custom WordPress website for Dobbs Exterior Cleaning, building a bespoke theme from scratch rather than using off-the-shelf templates. The site features custom functionality specifically designed for their exterior cleaning business, including a comprehensive services showcase, customer testimonials system, and project gallery to display their work. Most importantly, we integrated a custom quote builder that allows potential customers to easily request quotes online, removing friction from the customer journey and helping convert visitors into leads.

The website redesign transformed their online presence from a basic web presence into a professional lead-generation tool that builds trust and credibility with potential customers. Through the custom testimonials system and clear presentation of their insurance credentials and professional standards, the site effectively addresses the trust concerns that homeowners have when selecting exterior cleaning services. The result is a website that not only showcases their expertise but actively converts visitors into customers through its user-friendly quote request system.
