Local SEO for trades
SEO for cleaners in Cardiff
Cardiff cleaning companies can win both domestic and commercial work by splitting service pages, review themes and neighbourhood coverage instead of using one generic cleaning page.
What Cardiff cleaners need to win local search
Cardiff is in Wales, with ~370k city, 800k capital region. Welsh-government-adjacent professional services. Trades busy across the city + Vale of Glamorgan. Hospitality + tourism strong.
For cleaners, the practical job is to make Google confident about where you work, which jobs you want, and why a local customer should trust you before a larger directory or national lead seller.
Pages to build first
The first pages should match high-intent jobs, not generic marketing headings. For Cardiff, we would prioritise:
- End-of-tenancy cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Regular domestic cleaning
- Deep cleans
Neighbourhood coverage
Useful local pages can mention areas you genuinely serve, including Canton, Roath, Pontcanna, Vale of Glamorgan. The content still needs proof: recent work, photos, review language, response expectations and practical service notes.
Local SEO checklist
- Google Business Profile: choose the right primary category, add weekly photos, publish services and keep opening hours accurate.
- Reviews: ask every completed customer for a Google review and encourage natural mentions of the job type and area.
- Service pages: build one strong page per profitable service, then link those pages from the homepage and quote forms.
- Citations: keep name, address and phone details consistent across Yell, Bing Places, Checkatrade and relevant trade directories.
- Conversion: make phone, quote and emergency contact options obvious on mobile.
