A complete pricing guide…

The newbies will become an extinct species soon. As you know, many gigs pay enough to get their beak wet without getting muscles involved, and carpet cleaning is just that. I'm not saying carpet cleaning doesn't require any thought process; advertising, marketing, and planning have a big say, but in the digital era, everything is upside down. We might have been working on our organic SEO and getting by without paying thousands. Still, nowadays, I see companies being in business for barely two years and having over 1000 reviews. I wonder how they got them. For all I know, carpet cleaning will be done remotely soon.
With state-of-the-art equipment being a norm, clients demand better results, but we come daily to the same neglected surfaces that we remember 10 or 20 years ago, so nothing changed in that regard.
Any more questions?

I can answer the 1000 review question

I hate to say it but there are a bunch of liars. and companies who will lie for you for the right money.

I get offers all of the time, " hey..so and so, I can get you positive reviews on yelp and google"

thats really it
