The role

What does it mean to be a fractional CMO for window cleaning companies?

As your fractional CMO, I'm the senior marketing leader your window cleaning company gets without paying $200K+ for a full-time hire. I set the growth strategy, lead the vendors and CSRs who touch marketing, and own the result the way a full-time CMO would. The difference is that I'm not just advising from the sidelines, I'm in the account doing the work and reporting on it.

The first thing I build is real attribution. I set up call tracking with CallRail or CallTrackingMetrics and connect it to your CRM and online booking, whether that's Jobber, Housecall Pro, Responsibid, or something else, so we can see which leads actually turn into recurring clients and bundled jobs. That tells me where to scale spend and where to cut it, instead of guessing from lead counts. For window cleaning specifically, I market to the real economics: recurring schedules and bundling raise lifetime value. So I fill the calendar with recurring clients (quarterly, semi-annual, monthly), bundle window cleaning with gutters, pressure washing, and soft washing to lift the ticket, and treat one-time cleans as a doorway into that recurring, higher-value base.

The role is strategic, not just tactical. I run competitive and market analysis to understand what other window cleaning companies in your markets are doing, then use that to inform your strategy and your business direction from a marketing lens: where to push, which markets to enter, and how to position. And I stay close. I'm in your inbox most days, send a weekly performance report, and keep you current on exactly what got done and what's next. Most window cleaning owners get strategy from a consultant, execution from an agency, and accountability from no one. I bring all of that into one person who owns the number.

Why work with me

Senior marketing leadership and hands-on execution for window cleaning operators who need a CMO but aren't ready to hire one full-time.

  • I've actually run window cleaning growth.

    10 years embedded in home services across HVAC, plumbing, pest, electrical, and roofing. I'm not a generalist consultant learning your industry on your dime.

  • I scale revenue, not vanity metrics.

    I've generated $100M+ in revenue and 2M+ leads. I measure CAC, LTV, and booked jobs, not impressions or click-through rates.

  • I work directly on your account.

    No account managers, no handoffs, no junior team running your strategy. You get me on every call, owning the outcome.

  • I make the attribution real.

    I wire up CallRail and CallTrackingMetrics, connect them to your CRM and online booking, and track which leads turn into recurring clients and bundled jobs, not just one-time cleans, then scale the spend that's actually working.

How I work with window cleaning companies

Every engagement follows the same arc: understand the market and your business first, then build a plan tied to revenue, then execute and report.

  1. 01

    Audit the market

    I start by auditing your market with tools most operators don't have access to, so I can see who's winning, who's losing, and why. That tells us where the real opportunity is before we spend a dollar.

  2. 02

    Deep-dive your business

    Then I dig into your own execution and learn the business: what you've tried, what's worked, what hasn't, and where your recurring clients, bundled jobs, and one-time cleans are actually coming from today. No generic playbook gets applied until I understand your numbers.

  3. 03

    Build the proposal and plan

    I build a plan to hit and exceed your revenue goals, with clear milestones, realistic timelines, and a budget mapped to the goal. You know what we're doing, when, and what it should return before we start.

  4. 04

    Dial in positioning and differentiation

    Part of onboarding is getting your positioning right. Most window cleaning companies go to market like everyone else, so they get commoditized and forced to compete on price and the cheapest one-time clean. I tease out what you actually do that no one else does, like reliable recurring schedules and bundled exterior care, and make that the center of your message.

  5. 05

    Rebuild the website and landing pages

    We typically rebuild or significantly improve the website and paid landing pages using conversion-optimization best practices, then A/B and split-URL test with tools like Visual Website Optimizer to keep lifting conversion rate over time.

  6. 06

    Build streamlined lead-gen systems

    I track every marketing channel with CallRail tracking numbers and listen to call transcripts to see how your CSRs are booking jobs and whether they're upselling the recurring schedule and the bundle (gutters, pressure washing, soft washing). Then I report spend, CPL, CAC, and ROAS by channel every week or two, so we always know where to put dollars to scale.

How I approach marketing a window cleaning company

This is the same playbook I've used to scale home services brands to $100M+ in revenue, applied to how window cleaning actually grows.

01

I market for recurring clients and bundled jobs, not just cheap one-time cleans

Recurring schedules (quarterly, semi-annual, monthly) build the stable revenue base, and the bigger lever is bundling window cleaning with gutter cleaning, pressure washing, soft washing, and screen and track cleaning to raise the average ticket and lifetime value. So I market to the full economics: I'd rather pay more for a lead that becomes a recurring, bundled client than chase the cheapest one-time clean that never comes back. One-time jobs are great cash, and I treat them as a doorway into the recurring schedule and the bundle.

02

I make attribution real before I scale anything

I set up CallRail or CallTrackingMetrics so every call, form, and online quote is tracked back to its channel, then connect that data to your CRM, whether it's Jobber, Housecall Pro, Responsibid, or something else. In window cleaning that matters a lot, because a one-time clean, a recurring quarterly client, and a bundled (windows plus gutters plus pressure wash) job are worth wildly different amounts. Once I know what each lead turns into, I scale the spend that produces recurring and bundled revenue and cut what just produces low-value one-offs.

03

I plan around window cleaning seasonality instead of fighting it

Demand swings with the calendar: spring and fall are peak (spring cleaning and fall pre-winter prep), summer stays steady, and winter slows in cold climates. I push budget toward the peaks to capture that high-intent demand, and I lean hard on converting peak-season jobs into recurring schedules and bundles so the slow months stay booked instead of going quiet.

04

I own local search and the Map Pack

Most window cleaning searches are 'window cleaning near me', 'window washing service', 'commercial window cleaning', and 'gutter cleaning'. I tighten your Google Business Profile, build service and city pages for residential recurring, commercial, and one-time intents, and push review velocity and before-and-after photos so you win the Map Pack, where these high-intent local searches actually convert.

05

I run LSAs and Google Ads on booked-job economics, by intent

Residential recurring, commercial contracts, and one-time cleans need different bids, different pages, and different offers. I structure Local Services Ads, search, and paid social by intent, route each type to a page built to convert it (with instant online quoting where it fits), and send the revenue data from your CRM back to Google so it optimizes toward recurring and bundled jobs, not cheap one-time clicks.

06

I study your competitors and your market, not just your funnel

I track what the other window cleaning companies in your markets are doing across SEO, paid, reviews, bundled offers, and pricing, and fold that into the strategy. Marketing is a lens on the whole business, so I bring you the competitive picture and help you decide where to push, which markets to grow, and how to position against the national franchises and brands as well as the local operators.

07

I fix intake so demand turns into booked, recurring, bundled jobs

Speed-to-lead, a fast quote, easy online booking, and a CSR script that upsells the recurring schedule and the bundle instead of just quoting a one-time price. In window cleaning, the difference between a 30% and a 55% booking rate, and whether your team is even offering gutters and pressure washing, is almost always intake and process, not more spend. It's usually the fastest win in the first 60 days.

Fractional CMO vs. agency for a window cleaning company

An agency rents you a channel. As your fractional CMO, I own your growth. Here's the difference where it matters for window cleaning.

Incentive
Gets paid to spend your budget and keep the retainer. Wins are measured in rankings, impressions, and leads.
I get paid to grow recurring revenue, bundled jobs, and booked work. One number, tied to your CRM.
Attribution
Reports leads and clicks from the ad platform, with no line back to revenue.
I connect CallRail and your CRM (Jobber, Housecall Pro, Responsibid) so we know which leads become recurring and bundled clients and where to scale.
Window cleaning expertise
Runs the same playbook for a dentist and a roofer. Optimizes for cheap one-time clicks, not lifetime value.
I know window cleaning economics: recurring schedules and bundling (gutters, pressure washing) raise lifetime value, route density drives margin, one-time cleans feed the recurring base, and peak-season sign-ups matter.
Scope
Owns one channel like SEO or PPC. No one owns the full funnel or the intake.
I own the whole marketing function: strategy, channels, offer, intake, attribution, and the vendors plugged in.
Strategy
Executes tactics in their lane. Rarely looks at competitors or business direction.
I run competitive and market analysis and help inform where the business should go from a marketing lens.
Communication
A monthly report and a quarterly check-in.
I'm in your inbox most days, with a weekly performance report and a clear summary of what got done.
Cost
Retainer plus media, with results that are hard to tie to revenue.
A fraction of a $200K+ full-time CMO, embedded in your stack and accountable to revenue.
