In Mijas, long-time Spanish residents, foreign residents who live here all year round and owners of holiday-let apartments all share the same need: a cleaning company they can trust. And to choose one, the first thing many of them do is search on Google and open the website that gives them the most confidence. If your site does not let them ask for a quote in one click, does not show which types of cleaning you do and does not speak their language, that client moves on to the next. Here is what a cleaning company's website in Mijas needs, with clear prices and no impossible promises.
Mijas: a market that speaks two languages
A cleaning company in Mijas does not have one single type of client. Designing the website with all of them in mind gives you an edge over whoever puts up a generic page:
- The Spanish resident. Looks for home or community cleaning with a clear price and a quick reply. If they do not see indicative prices or a phone number at hand, they keep searching.
- The foreign resident. Lives in a villa or apartment and searches in English. An English version of the website can be the difference between them writing to you or to the next company.
- The holiday-let owner. Needs check-in and check-out cleans at specific times and wants to sort it by WhatsApp without phone calls.
- The property manager. Compares quotes for communities and offices; they want to see which services you cover and a short form to request several quotes at once.
The types of cleaning your website should show
Just writing "cleaning company" is not enough. The client wants to know exactly what you do. Structure the website by service type, each with its own page or block:
- Home cleaning. Regular or one-off, with indicative prices and the areas you cover (Mijas Pueblo, La Cala de Mijas, Las Lagunas). It is the most searched service and the one that generates the most quotes.
- Office and retail cleaning. Many of these jobs happen outside working hours. Make it clear you work flexible hours and offer monthly contracts so a business hires you on an ongoing basis.
- Communities of owners. Entrances, communal areas and windows. It is a valuable recurring contract: one single client pays every month.
- End-of-construction cleaning. After a renovation or build there is dust, debris and brand-new windows to clean. Show it as a specific service for builders and private clients finishing a project.
One-click quotes: WhatsApp and a short form
Whoever asks a cleaning company for a quote is usually in a hurry or comparing options. If you put obstacles in their way, they go to the next one. Reduce friction as much as possible:
- A WhatsApp button with a pre-filled message. The client taps, adds a couple of details and the enquiry reaches you. For the foreign public it is key: many prefer writing over calling.
- A short form. Name, area, type of property, type of cleaning and approximate square metres. Five fields are enough; every extra field increases the chances of abandonment.
- Ask for photos. Let them attach photos of the home or office so you can give a more accurate quote without unnecessary visits.
- Fast, clear replies. State how quickly you answer and what minimum information you need to quote on the first reply.
Before-and-after photos: trust you can see
In cleaning you cannot show a product on a shelf, but you can show the result. Photos are the proof that convinces:
- A before-and-after gallery. A living room, a kitchen or a post-construction flat before and after your work is the most direct demonstration of what you can do.
- Real photos, not stock images. Stock photos transmit the opposite of what you want: the client wants to see your work, not a generic image from the internet.
- Organise by service type. Home, offices, communities and end-of-construction in separate sections so each client recognises themselves quickly.
- Visible reviews and a link to your Google Maps listing. Customer ratings are the social proof that most reassures someone who is about to let you into their home.
Mistakes that lose you clients
There are very common mistakes that, without you realising, push the client towards another company:
- A Spanish-only website. In an area with so many foreign residents, not offering English can leave you out of a part of the market.
- Not saying which cleanings you do or which areas you cover. If the client does not see their service and their neighbourhood, they keep searching.
- No prices and no quick way to get in touch. If they have to call and wait to find out what it costs or to ask for a quote, they lose interest.
- An endless form. Twenty fields to request a quote is the fastest way to lose someone who already wanted to write to you.
How much a website for your cleaning company costs
At Solaris we work with fixed, one-off prices, no surprises. Delivery takes 5-7 working days if you provide the texts and images:
1 page

- Introduction, services and contact
- Before/after gallery
- WhatsApp button
- Responsive design
Up to 5 pages
€350 + VAT

Do the maths: a single recurring client (a home or office you clean for months) can cover the cost of the website within a few months. From there on, everything is margin.
Local SEO: get found in Mijas
Your website and your Google Maps listing reinforce each other. Google ranks local results by relevance, distance and prominence; no one can guarantee you first place, and be wary of anyone who does. What you can do is look after the basics to have more chances of showing up when someone searches "cleaning company in Mijas" or "home cleaning La Cala de Mijas":
- A complete Google Maps listing. Category, hours, photos and service area: it is your shop window on the map and the first place where people compare you.
- A website with real keywords. Talk about the services and areas you cover, not "integral solutions": Google understands "end-of-construction cleaning in Mijas" better than an empty slogan.
- Well-managed reviews. Asking every satisfied client and replying to them helps your listing show activity and build trust.
- Local SEO with Solaris. If you want us to look after your listing and reviews month after month, see our Local SEO on Google Maps service, from €150/month + VAT, no lock-in.
