Window Cleaner Growth is an independent site for people who own window cleaning companies. It exists because most marketing advice aimed at this trade is borrowed from trades with a $4,000 average ticket.
Who writes it
Steve Meitler is the editor. He has spent the last several years running growth campaigns for local service businesses, window cleaning companies among them, and has watched enough of them get sold $2,000 a month retainers against a $260 job to be blunt about the math. Everything here is meant to be checked and used without hiring anyone.
Where the benchmark numbers come from
The benchmark report is built from public Google Business Profile listings. We run Google Maps searches for window cleaning companies in every US state, capture the public fields on each listing (review count, star rating, whether a website is linked, hours, categories, city and state), deduplicate by Google place ID, and compute the statistics from what is left. Nothing comes from behind a login, and no reviewer names or personal details are stored. The dataset currently holds 14,348 listings across 51 states and is refreshed monthly.
At that scale, collection is imperfect. Some listings are dormant one-person operations nobody has touched in three years, which is part of why 19.9% show zero reviews. Treat every figure as accurate to within a point or two, not to the decimal.
Editorial rules
- No pay-to-play. There is no way to buy a mention, a link, or a recommendation on this site.
- Every number is sourced, either to our own dataset or to a primary source such as Google's published documentation. Opinions are labeled as opinions.
- Guides are written for an owner who is on a ladder most of the day. If a step cannot be done in an evening or handed to whoever answers the phone, it does not go in.
- Prices and budgets in the guides are ranges from real campaigns in this trade. When a platform changes, the guide is updated and re-dated.
How the free trial works
The site is funded by the marketing work we do for window cleaning companies. Every service is offered as a free 14-day trial because an owner in a low-margin trade should see the phone ring before any money changes hands. You text or call, say which service you want to try (Google Ads, Meta ads, AI search optimization, local SEO and Google profile work, a website, social media, review generation, missed-call text-back, email and SMS, bookkeeping, or cold-call appointment setting), and it gets set up inside your own accounts, usually within 48 hours of a short setup call.
It runs for two weeks. No card is taken and nothing renews. After 14 days you keep it at a price quoted before the trial started, switch to a different service, or stop.
