Have a page people can find
The first thing a customer does after hearing your name is look you up. If nothing comes up, most stop there. Your page does not need to be clever. It needs your name, a photo of your face, the areas you cover, what you do and what it costs, and a way to get in touch that works. If you have photographs of your own work, use them; if not, a page with good stand-in pictures beats an empty one, and you can swap them out as you go.
Set a rate you can say out loud
Look at what cleaners near you charge and put yourself in the middle, not at the bottom. A low rate attracts the customers who leave over a pound, and it is hard to raise later. Say it plainly on your page. Customers who hide from prices are not your customers; the ones who want you will have already decided the rate is fine before they message.
Answer fast, and answer like a person
The first reply is the whole job. Reply the same day, use their name, answer the question they asked, and suggest a time. "Hello Priya, yes, Thursdays work. It is usually about three hours for a two bed and I bring everything. Would next Thursday at nine suit?" That message wins more work than any page.
Turn one job into a regular
At the end of the first visit, say what you noticed and ask if they want a regular slot. Most people are relieved to be asked. Offer a day and stick to it. Tell them the day before if anything changes. Ask for a review once the job is done; on this site the customer can leave one only for work they confirmed, so a good one is worth having.
