"Find A Certified Roof Cleaner Directory"

For those interested I am updating the progress on the Exterior Cleaning directory. www.exteriorcleaningcontractors.com .

First and foremost this directory was designed for quality over quantity when it comes to membership. So yes, membership is being screened. The directory is designed for the potential customers searching for exterior cleaning. That said.

As a service provider. I advise you first search the directory by zip code search. Once you get to the search page for service providers you will see in the upper left side the search area by miles. That is default at 50 miles. As you lower the search area i.e. miles, those service providers will lessen, because the default again is 50 miles. So even though there maybe one or two service providers listed once the search is lowered to say 10 miles there maybe none, thus if this would be your area and you join, you would be the only one that would show up in results. You’ll also notice even though set at 50 miles by each listing is the miles away from that zip code each listed member is located. Speaks for itself.

Note: We may change that default once we see what works best to narrow down listings!

Also, no matter how many potential service providers there are in any given location, if that service provider has not joined and filed out their profile they will not be listed. Just search by zip code from the home page and see for yourself. Who is listed in your location?

For any still interested read on.

First off there are three types of membership: Free, Pro and Elite. We have a number of members already in each membership level.

When joining, no matter what level, make sure to fill out your profile in detail for that level ability. We recommend you include a profile picture of yourself (professional if possible), all your profile information, and the linking section at the bottom of your first profile page i.e. web site, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.

As members join we will be sending e-mail tips to explain sections of your mini web site listing to help you improve your reach.

We would rather see one “professional “service provider in each location than just anybody who “claims “to be a quality service provider.

NOTE: The free membership option is to give service providers a chance to see what the directory is and how it functions. Should someone contact a free member they will not receive that request directly. It will come to the directory and we can or will pass that on. For the pro and elite membership all contact goes directly to the member themselves. So there is no misunderstanding, the pro/elite members will get first referral based upon membership level and location.

Free members will get the SEO benefit for their level of membership. So take the time to completely fill out your profile. Should free members join and are not up to specification or profiles are not fully filled out we will have to remove them.
