A cleaning business gets a website most cheaply from the builder inside its booking software: BookingKoala includes one with a custom domain on its $27 a month Starter plan and Zenbooker on its $29 Standard plan, as of September 10, 2026, with the booking form already wired in. Jobber and Housecall Pro include a basic site on every plan. Until you need booking, a verified Google Business Profile does most of a website’s job for free.
This guide covers what the site is for, the three routes and what they cost, the five pages, and the setup order. It sits between the Google Business Profile guide, which comes first, and the online booking guide, which the site exists to support.
What the website is for
For a cleaning business the website has one job: turn someone who found you into a booking or a quote request without a phone call. Everything else, the story, the photos, the reviews, exists to make that click feel safe. That means the site’s most important element is the booking form or the quote request, and a beautiful site without one is a brochure.
It also means you do not need a website until you have something for it to do. A solo cleaner whose schedule fills from referrals and the Google profile can wait. A crew that wants customers booking flat-rate cleans at 9 pm cannot.
Route 1: The builder inside your booking tool
This is the right route for many cleaning businesses, because the site and the booking form live in the same place and the price is the software subscription you may already pay.
| Tool | Website included on | Custom domain | Booking form on the site |
|---|---|---|---|
| BookingKoala | Starter ($27/mo) and above | Yes | Yes, instant pricing by home size |
| Zenbooker | Standard ($29/mo) and above | Hosting included | Yes, instant pricing with options |
| Jobber | All plans (Core $49/mo, 1 user) | Basic website | Online booking with time slots and request forms |
| Housecall Pro | All plans (Basic $79/mo) | Basic website; a managed website is an add-on | Online booking |

BookingKoala’s builder is the most complete for a cleaning company: drag-and-drop pages, a blog, a custom domain, and the booking form that prices by bedrooms and bathrooms, all on the cheapest plan. Zenbooker’s is similar with its more flexible pricing engine. Jobber’s and Housecall Pro’s built-in websites are simpler and exist mainly to host the booking and request forms; they are fine for a company that already uses those platforms for other reasons. The comparisons on this site (BookingKoala vs Zenbooker, BookingKoala vs Jobber) cover the rest of each tool. If you take this route, the 30-day BookingKoala trial through our partner link includes the builder.
Route 2: A hosted booking page with no site
Square Appointments gives a hosted booking page on its free plan, with your services, prices, and hours, and it can stand in for a website when you link to it from your Google Business Profile, text signature, and social bios. Maidily’s hosted booking form on Start does the same. This is the route for a solo cleaner who wants online booking now and a site later; the Square guide covers the setup.
The limit is that a hosted page is one page. There is nowhere for the service list, the story, or the photos beyond what the booking tool allows, and the address is the tool’s, not yours, unless you set up a redirect on your own domain.
Route 3: Google Business Profile alone
For a solo cleaner not yet ready for software, the verified profile is the website: services with descriptions and prices, photos, reviews, messaging, hours, a service area, and a booking link if you have one. Customers searching for a cleaner in your town find it before they would find a website anyway. The profile guide covers setting it up fully, and the reviews guide covers the part that makes it convert.
Move to Route 1 or 2 when you want online booking with a price, or when people who are referred to you ask where they can read more.
The five pages
Whichever builder you use, the site needs five pages and no more to start:
- Home. What you clean, where, and a “Book now” button above the fold. Two or three reviews, quoted with the customer’s first name. A photo of you or your team.
- Services. Your standard, deep, and move-out cleans and add-ons, using the exact wording from what a standard clean includes, including what is not included.
- Pricing or booking. The booking form with instant prices by home size, or a quote request for jobs the grid cannot price. If you show prices, show the grid from the pricing guide.
- About. Who you are, how long you have cleaned, why you started, and photos of real work. This is the page referrals read.
- Contact and service area. The towns and postal codes you serve, phone, email, booking link, and the cancellation policy in its usual three sentences.
Put the “Book now” button in the header of every page. Keep the text short; the customer is deciding whether to trust you, not reading an essay.
Photos and words
Real photos beat stock. A clean kitchen you actually cleaned, your supply caddy, your car with the name on it, and your face. Take before-and-after pairs with the customer’s permission and no personal items in frame, the same photos you add to the Google profile each month.
Write the way you talk to a customer at the door, in the first person, in short sentences. Say the towns you serve by name on the home page and the contact page, because that is how local searches match. Do not stuff town names into headings or repeat them unnaturally; one clear mention per page is enough.
Domain and booking link
Buy a domain in your business name, point it at the builder, and put your booking link on it too (yourdomain.com/book, redirecting to the tool’s booking page). The domain costs a small annual fee and is the only part of the site that is truly yours; it is what lets you switch tools later without changing a single card or flyer, as the switching guide explains. Use the same domain for email ([email protected]), which most registrars forward for free or a small fee.
Setup order, in an evening or two
- Finish the Google Business Profile first.
- Write the service list and price grid.
- Pick the route: builder in your booking tool, hosted page, or profile only.
- Buy the domain and point it at the builder.
- Build the five pages with real photos and the service list.
- Wire the booking form and test a booking from your own phone, including the card step.
- Add the site and booking link to the Google profile, text signature, social bios, and cards.
By business size
Solo cleaners should start with Route 3, add Route 2 when they want bookings, and build Route 1 when the schedule fills from strangers rather than referrals. Spend nothing on design; spend an afternoon on photos.
Crews of 2 to 5 should be on Route 1 from the point they want online booking, because the site and the form belong together and the builder is included in the $27 to $29 plans. Keep the five pages, update photos monthly, and put the review link and referral line in the same places as the booking link.
Growing companies with several areas may want a page per town and a designer eventually, but only after the booking flow is proven. Zenbooker’s territories and BookingKoala’s multi-location support handle the per-area pricing; the site just needs a page that points at each.
Key takeaways
- The cheapest website for a cleaning business is the builder inside the booking tool: BookingKoala Starter at $27 or Zenbooker Standard at $29 a month include one with the booking form, as of September 10, 2026.
- A hosted booking page (Square, Maidily) or a complete Google Business Profile can stand in for a site until online booking matters.
- Five pages: home, services, pricing or booking, about, contact and service area, with a “Book now” button on every one.
- Real photos and plain first-person writing that names your towns once per page.
- Your own domain for the site, the booking link, and email, so a software switch never breaks anything.
Frequently asked questions
Does a cleaning business need a website?
Not on day one. A verified Google Business Profile with photos, services, reviews, and a booking link does most of what a website does for a solo cleaner. A website becomes worth having when you want customers to book and pay online with instant pricing, when you serve several areas, or when referrals ask where to read more. The cheapest route is usually the builder inside your booking tool.
What is the cheapest way to get a cleaning business website?
As of September 10, 2026, BookingKoala includes a website builder with a custom domain on its $27 a month Starter plan, and Zenbooker includes a website builder with hosting on its $29 a month Standard plan. Jobber and Housecall Pro include a basic website on all plans. Square gives a free hosted booking page rather than a full site. Any of these costs less than a separate website subscription and comes with the booking form built in.
What pages does a cleaning business website need?
Five: a home page that says what you clean, where, and how to book; a services page with your standard, deep, and move-out cleans and add-ons; a pricing or booking page with instant prices by home size or a quote request; an about page with your story and photos; and a contact page with your service area, phone, and booking link. Reviews go on the home page.
Do I need a custom domain?
Yes, if you want the site to look like yours and to survive a software switch. A domain costs a small annual fee, and pointing yourdomain.com at the builder's site is a setting in both the domain registrar and the tool. Put your booking link on the domain too (yourdomain.com/book) so cards and flyers never go stale.
Should I pay a designer for a cleaning website?
Not at first. A designer makes sense once the business is established and the site is a real sales channel. For a solo cleaner or small crew, a builder template with your own photos, your published service list, and a working booking form beats a custom design with no booking. Spend the money on photos of real work instead.
