    We built two menus, one by job and one by premises. We also added before-and-after photos on the home, carpet and hospitality pages.

    The business

    Retro WC Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning crew working in homes, offices, gyms, hotels, schools and clinics. Its work runs from end-of-lease, domestic and deep cleans to carpet, upholstery, mattress, rug, oven, tile and grout, window and pressure washing jobs, and on to commercial programs for businesses.

    The brief

    A wide range is hard to read on one page. A tenant who needs a bond clean, a family with a stained carpet and a clinic manager who needs a regular program all arrive with different questions. The brief was to let each of them start where they are, from the job or from the premises, and to keep a quote one step away on every page.

    The site also had to carry the brand: cream, yellow and navy, heavy outlines and a confident, plain voice, from the home page to the smallest service page.

    Two menus

    The Services menu splits 15 services into three groups. Residential holds end-of-lease, domestic, deep, pre-sale and Airbnb cleaning. Specialist holds windows, carpet steam and dry cleaning, upholstery, mattresses, rugs, ovens, tile and grout, and pressure washing. Commercial holds the business cleaning program. The Industries menu offers six kinds of premises: education, medical, hospitality, fitness, entertainment and corporate.

    Service pages that explain the job

    Service pages open with a short promise and the quote form beside it. Pages such as carpet steam cleaning then show a before-and-after photo, list what the clean includes, set out the steps and close with common questions and the services often booked with it. The carpet page lists twelve inclusions, from pre-vacuuming to a final walk-through, with add-ons marked.

    Industry pages written for the premises

    Each industry page names its sector in the opening, lists what that kind of premises needs and recommends the services that suit it. The hospitality page covers late-night and pre-dawn work, kitchen degreasing, linen and turnover, and front-of-house, with before-and-after photos of a guest room and a kitchen.

    Proof and guides

    The home page carries a scrolling row of before-and-after photos, from an end-of-lease clean and an oven to an Airbnb turnaround, four reasons to choose the crew, a three-step explanation of how a booking works and the Google rating. Seven guides answer questions people ask before they book, from an end-of-lease checklist to restoring tile and grout.

    Built for phones

    On a phone, the menus fold behind one button and the headline, the opening line and the Book My Clean and Call buttons fill the first screen. Two round buttons float at the side of every page, one of them to call, and the quote form follows directly below the opening on service pages.

    What it connects to

    The site is where Retro WC Cleaning's Google Ads land. Each ad is written for one job and sends people to a page with the quote form near the top. Since ads began, about 1 in 7 Google Ads clicks became a quote request or tracked call. The Retro WC Cleaning campaign case study sets out how that was measured.

      Two menus: one for the job, one for the premises

      The Services menu splits 15 services into residential, specialist and commercial work. The Industries menu offers six kinds of premises, and each industry page recommends the services that suit it, so a clinic manager and a tenant moving out both find a way in.

      The result is shown before the price is asked for

      The home page, the carpet page and the hospitality page each carry photos of a space before and after a clean, side by side. The quote form sits at the top of each of those pages, so the visitor can see the work and ask for a quote without leaving the page.

    How is the Retro WC Cleaning website organised?

    Into two menus. The Services menu lists 15 services in residential, specialist and commercial groups, and Industries lists six kinds of premises. Each has its own page, alongside seven guides and the usual company pages.

    Why have industry pages as well as service pages?

    A clinic or a hotel manager often knows the premises before the cleaning method. Each industry page names what that kind of premises needs and recommends the services that suit it.

    What does the quote form ask for?

    A name, email, phone number, the service and a short description of the space, such as the rooms, the size and anything special. It sits at the top of the home page and every service and industry page, and on the contact page.

    How does the site show the quality of the work?

    With side-by-side before-and-after photos on the home page, the carpet steam cleaning page and the hospitality page, alongside the Google rating and a short list of reasons to choose the crew.

    How does the website connect to the Google Ads?

    Each ad is written for one job and lands on a page about it, with the quote form near the top. The campaign case study reports how many ad clicks became quote requests and how that was measured.

    What did SoudCoh deliver for Retro WC Cleaning?

    36 pages: 15 services in three groups, six industries and seven guides. Two menus, one by job and one by premises. Before-and-after photos on the home, carpet and hospitality pages. One quote form, with a box to describe the space, at the top of every service and industry page.
