    Calculate an end-of-lease cleaning enquiry cost

    Use a consistent enquiry definition and a single reporting period to understand what a cleaning campaign costs. This example starts with hypothetical numbers.

    The numbers, already filled in

    All pre-filled values are hypothetical, client-free planning inputs. Replace them with your own records or explicitly chosen assumptions.

    Total spend on the campaigns you are judging, in Australian dollars.

    Clicks over the same period, from the same campaigns.

    Calls and form submissions you would count as a real enquiry. Not clicks on a phone number that never connected.

    Selects the separately labelled US category comparison.

    We will turn the numbers above into a PDF with your figures, the workings and what they mean — and hand it straight back to you here, to read or to keep.

    What to do with this

    • Compare this with your own earlier periods, then review lead quality, booked work and job margins.
    • Whatever the number, write it down with the date and the period length. A cost per lead with no comparison point next month is trivia.

    How this was worked out

    Cost per click
    $3,000.00 ÷ 300 clicks = $10.00
    Conversion rate
    30 ÷ 300 × 100 = 10%
    Cost per lead
    $3,000.00 ÷ 30 enquiries = $100.00
    Spend on clicks that did not enquire
    270 × $10.00 = $2,700.00

    Where these numbers come from

    Work through the example

    For this hypothetical cleaning scenario, $3,000 in spend generates 300 clicks and 30 enquiries. The calculation returns $10 per click, a 10% click-to-enquiry rate and $100 per enquiry. These deliberately simple inputs demonstrate the method. They do not describe a Sydney cleaning account or suggest that this is what an end-of-lease enquiry should cost.

    Apply it to the work you want to win

    End-of-lease enquiries often need practical information before a quote can become a booking: the property size, location, preferred date and any extra tasks. Keep enquiry volume separate from jobs accepted and completed. When comparing campaigns, check whether the work mix changed. An enquiry for a small apartment and one for a larger property with additional cleaning can lead to different invoices and labour requirements.

    Replace the example with your own records

    Every starting number on this page is hypothetical. None is a client result, an industry average or a quote for your business. The example makes the calculation easy to inspect; the useful version is the one you build from your own records. Change each input and watch how the result responds before using it in a budget conversation.

    Keep the reporting scope consistent. Spend, clicks and enquiries should cover the same campaigns and period. Decide what counts as an enquiry, separate duplicates where appropriate, and keep that definition steady when comparing results. A form submission, a connected call, a quote and paid work are different stages. The calculator can perform the arithmetic, but the quality of the conclusion depends on those definitions.

    Test more than one assumption. A higher click price, a lower enquiry rate or a slower close rate changes what the same budget can support. Save a conservative scenario alongside the base case, then revisit both when you have more campaign and sales information. Include management fees, job costs and the time between enquiry and payment in your wider cash-flow plan.
