124% more enquiries. Here's how.
Picture it. Handover's on Friday, and the builder needs the site spotless. So they Google it, and call whoever's on top.
Builders Cleaning Melbourne. Over a decade of experience.
But on Google? Position 25 for post construction cleaning. That's page three. In SEO terms, that's basically witness protection.
So we ran three plays. A dedicated page for every service. Proper local SEO and Google Maps. And digital PR to build authority.
The result? Number one organically, and number three on Maps.
All 14 target keywords at number one. Organic visitors up 91%. And enquiries up 124%, year on year. Which, for the record, is a very satisfying graph.
In the director's words: we're ranking number one for everything, organic and Maps.
Run a local trade or service? Same playbook. Urgent buyers call the first business they find.
One client per industry. If yours is open, call 0439 801 764, or book at seomelbourne.com.
Builders Cleaning Melbourne provides specialist post-construction and after-renovation cleaning services across Melbourne's residential and commercial building industry. With builders, developers, and homeowners searching for cleaning services at the final stage of a project — when deadlines are tight and handovers are imminent — being visible on Google at the exact moment of need is critical. This campaign was managed by our Melbourne SEO team.
Despite offering a premium service with over a decade of experience, Builders Cleaning Melbourne was buried on pages 2–10 for high-intent keywords like "post construction cleaning" (position 25), "after renovation cleaning" (position 41), and "construction cleaning services" (position 64). Competitors with weaker services were capturing the leads simply because they ranked higher.
Post-construction cleaning is bought by two very different customers, builders finishing a project and homeowners finishing a renovation, and they search with different words at different moments. Both are urgent: a handover date or a move-in date is fixed, and the first cleaner that ranks and answers usually wins the job. Builders Cleaning Melbourne had over a decade of experience in exactly this work.
Because the service is delivered on site, the market is also strongly local. A builder in Toorak and a homeowner in Bentleigh are both searching for someone who covers their suburb, which makes Google Maps as important as the organic results for this category.
Experience was not the problem; visibility was. Before the campaign the business sat on pages 2 to 10 for its high-intent terms: "post construction cleaning" at position 25, "after renovation cleaning" at 41, "construction cleaning services" at 64 and "cleaning after renovation" as deep as position 100. Competitors with weaker services were capturing the leads simply because they ranked higher.
The commercial cost is visible in the baseline: 55 enquiries in the first quarter of 2025 from 363 organic visitors.
"Post construction cleaning" — position 25
#1 organically + #3 on Google Maps
"Construction cleaning services" — position 64

We rebuilt the service architecture first, with a dedicated landing page for each vertical: post construction cleaning, after renovation cleaning, commercial builders cleaning, residential builders cleaning and window cleaning, each targeting its own keyword cluster with unique content. That gave every high-intent term a page that was about that term and nothing else.
Local SEO and Google Maps came next. The Google Business Profile was optimised, suburb pages were built for Toorak, Glen Iris, Malvern, Albert Park and Bentleigh, and local schema markup was implemented so that both the organic results and the Maps pack had a reason to show the business for suburb-level searches. Finally, authority building and digital PR secured backlinks from industry publications including The Enterprise World, Smart Business Daily and Mind My Business NYC, lifting domain authority across every target keyword at once rather than page by page.
Service Page Architecture
Built dedicated landing pages for each service vertical — post construction cleaning, after renovation cleaning, commercial builders cleaning, residential builders cleaning, and window cleaning — each targeting distinct keyword clusters with unique content.
Local SEO & Google Maps
Optimised Google Business Profile, built suburb-specific location pages for Toorak, Glen Iris, Malvern, Albert Park, and Bentleigh, and implemented local schema markup to dominate both organic results and Google Maps pack positions.
Authority Building & Digital PR
Secured high-quality backlinks from industry publications including The Enterprise World, Smart Business Daily, and Mind My Business NYC, building domain authority that lifted rankings across every target keyword simultaneously.
The results speak for themselves: every single target keyword now ranks #1 organically, with several ranking twice on the SERPs. The campaign took keywords from as deep as position 100 ("cleaning after renovation") to #1 — a climb of 99 positions. Organic traffic nearly doubled year-on-year, with 695 organic visitors in Q1 2026 compared to 363 in Q1 2025.
More importantly, conversions surged 124% — from 55 enquiries in Q1 2025 to 123 in Q1 2026. The combination of #1 organic rankings and Google Maps dominance means Builders Cleaning Melbourne now captures demand from every angle when Melbourne builders and homeowners search for post-construction cleaning services. Overall, 40 keywords now rank on page 1 of Google.
Every one of the 14 target keywords now ranks #1 organically, several of them appearing twice on the results page, and 40 keywords in total sit on page 1. "Post construction cleaning" moved from position 25 to #1 organically and #3 on Google Maps; "construction cleaning services" climbed 63 positions to #1; "cleaning after renovation" climbed 99 positions from 100 to #1.
Comparing the first quarter of 2026 with the first quarter of 2025, organic visitors grew from 363 to 695, up 91%, and enquiries grew from 55 to 123, up 124%. Enquiries growing faster than visitors is the signature of rankings won on the right terms: the traffic that arrived was ready to book. The campaign is still active.

We're ranking #1 for everything — organic and Maps. The leads have more than doubled and every builder we work with can find us instantly on Google. Incredible results.
For a trade or cleaning business that already does good work, the Builders Cleaning Melbourne campaign shows the order of operations we would repeat: one page per service, one page per priority suburb, a properly built Google Business Profile so Maps and organic reinforce each other, and authority earned from publications rather than bought.
The next step for a business in this position is to extend the suburb library outward from the core service areas and to keep the Maps profile active with the reviews and photos that hold a #3 pack position once it has been won.
