Paid $500, done by a full time IT guy who builds a few sites on the side. It's dated now, I need to make some changes.
Ni idea about optimization, i guess it's something I need to look at.

One of the latest trends is to have a button on your site that says something like "optimized for mobile" that goes to a simplified section of your site that reads well on a small screen.
It's not that expensive to have a site made anymore, so your best use of time is probably making sure your web design matches the rest of your marketing materials.

It's also important or maybe more important to optimize your Google Local listing.
Since, they can come up before the organic listings on mobile devices.
Do it now before your competition figures it out.
Google local listing may become the new king.
Google is now testing the selling of the top 4 google local listings.
It will be a new revenue source simular to Adwords.
Since they don't make money on organic listings they will get less and less priority on the first page,

Garrett,
Your wise to go with Mark and Andrechelle. They always go out of their way to help people out.
They should be charging more for what they do. They have helped several carpet cleaners on mikeys board, and ask
little in return. People shouldn't be a tight ass and try to do it themselves. They will build it, host it, make changes, give you suggestions,
etc. You would be hard pressed to find anybody in the industry that knows as much as they do in carpet cleaning and in
websites. EVERYBODY here needs to support them and the other sponsors here. It's their livelihood not a hobby. Just like us
cleaning for people. We do it to pay the bills not doing just for the hell of it. My sites are still under construction. I still need to send
pics and text.

I did most of the work myself, and have the Cermaks host it. Mark has done a few changes to help with SEO and installing the blog software. I wish I had just had Mark do the site for me from start to finish.

You like the site because you are an owner operator as this guy is. He works it to his advantage by saying that as an owner operator he doesn't have all the expense and overhead a franchise does and that he will actually do a quality job. I noticed that he cleans tile and upnholstery as well but does not go into detail. I personally think a site that is short and to the point makes it easier for the consumer to comprehend what you are saying.
I thought I had a great referral program but now I feel like I am whoring myself out. Plus my customers are not following the program correctly. Basically I either give them some referral cards or mail them some with reminder cards. They sign their name and pass them out to anyone they like. The person they pass them out to can use the card to get 20 dollars off their cleaning. When I collect a card I see the name on it and sign the card and mail it back to the customer. They can collect as many as they like as long as it is for a first time customer and use them to get 20 off as well. It sounds simple but only a few people have done it correctly. Usually they hand me a card because it says 20 dollars off. I think you are supposed to pass it out and be rewarded for your referral. Atleas they work by getting people to call. I have went back to just handing business cards out and saying thanks for the referral. So sometimes simple is better.
Also here is a site that I have no clue what they are trying to say. It is all over the place and just too much info.
Maybe Mikey knows who they are. I see they service Santa Cruz.

I tried doing my own , just leave it to the pros @ andrechelle.com i'm all the time getting calls from someone that said they found me on the internet. Mark and Andrechelle are great to work with. I'm glad they are on my side

Bummer, It's possible that this will eventually happen. One big yellowpage. SEO won't mean crap anymore.

SEO is turning into local web credibility is what matters.
Time are a changing it's not just keywords and back links anymore.
Reviews and links to local associations and directories will turn you into a top player.

Steve, no offense to andrelle or whoever, but have you looked at the work shes done? It's kind of outdated and lacks that sophisticated appeal in my own personal opinion. She has done a few nice looking sites though.. so i guess you'll see whatcha get!

I have noticed you have made derogatory remarks about Andrechelle multiple times now, very unprofessional for a "competitor" to make such remarks. Do you talk shit about your local carpet cleaners too?
Very revealing about your character.
First off, some of the websites are outdated, some being designed early and mid 2000's (some even in the 90's!).
Second, not everyone wants, needs, or can afford a $3000 website. We have packages starting at about $150!
Third, and most important, Andrechelle's websites WORK. They rank well, and get phones to ring.
Keep in mind, most clients dictate to us what they want their website to look like, modeled after other websites they like, or to match their marketing material, or whatever. Andrechelle can make a site to look however the customer wants.
And in many cases, for clients with a limited budget, it is recommended that most of the funds go toward seo and Internet marketing rather than graphic design.

Hey Ben, did you just revamp your whole website from a month or so ago?

the reason why I went with andrechelle over others is because it looks to me like they have a set system for handling customers, they have packages and options. I started another company with a partner and he had a buddy that "did websites" and the site sucks and it ended up costing alot more money than was originally quoted. it also took freakin forever to get it done, like over 6 mos. this guy was supposed to be a pro and does work for Hyundai and some other very large companies. so I wanted someone established, someone who does this all the time.
I think as them being sponsors of this board and being out there in the public eye, I am confident one way or the other I will end up happy. I do agree some of their stuff does look dated, but the important thing is I KNOW what I am looking for, I spent nearly a day looking at tons of sites and picked some ideas from them that I want on mine. mine is not going to be a dated looking site, it will be simple and easy to read, something I think alot of people miss out on, carpet cleaners try to say too much. sometimes less is more.
ben, I like your own site, it has a fresh and clean look, however I still think it has too much on it.
and lastly the packages they have are affordable, if I am not happy for some reason I am out 500 bucks, not 2 grand.
