What reputation management means

Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

For home cleaning companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A missed-slot complaint needs a specific reply”

    Say which slot was missed and what you changed in the duty roster. A one-line apology tells the next customer nothing about whether you will turn up.

  • “Verification prompts get their own review ask”

    Asking a customer to mention staff professionalism builds the exact proof the next booking decision needs.

  • “Recurring customers give the strongest reviews”

    A subscriber of several months has more to say about reliability than a first-time customer.

What we do

What we deliver for home cleaning companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A reply routine for missed-appointment complaints

    Written guidance for replying to a missed-slot review with a specific explanation and fix, not a generic apology.

    Result: A complaint reads as handled, not ignored, to the next customer.

  2. A review request naming staff professionalism

    Timed wording that asks a satisfied customer to mention staff conduct or verification specifically in their review.

    Result: New reviews build the exact trust proof a booking decision needs.

  3. A targeted ask to long-standing recurring customers

    A request sent to subscribers of several months, who have more to say about reliability than a first-time customer.

    Result: The strongest, most credible reviews come from your best customers.

  4. A monitoring routine across review platforms

    A regular check across Google and other listing sites, so no complaint sits unanswered for long.

    Result: A one-star on a listing site is found the same week.

  5. A review summary and reply record

    The new reviews and the replies you sent, set beside what the profile looked like before the work began.

    Result: You can see the reputation trend at a glance.

How the result is measured

  • Average rating
  • Response time to reviews
  • Negative mentions resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to do with each review

How to answer each kind of review a home cleaning company gets.

Praise for a deep clean
Thank them and name the job, such as a kitchen or a move-in clean. Ask whether they would say what changed after the visit, in their own words, and leave out any addresses.
A cleaner who did not turn up
Check the roster and the confirmation message sent to the customer. Apologise, say what you changed, such as a backup cleaner for each slot, and offer a new time.
A complaint that the clean was not thorough
Compare the job checklist with the customer's list. Reply that you will return to the missed areas, and then do it. Give each cleaner a printed checklist and a photograph step at the end.
A broken or damaged item
Ask for a photograph and details of when it happened. Reply with how damage reports are handled and what your terms say. Record the condition of fragile items at the start of the visit.
A complaint about charges added on the day
Pull the quote and what was agreed. Reply with where extra charges are listed, such as heavy stains or a larger area. Put them on the WhatsApp price list before booking.
A review about a cleaner's behaviour
Ask what happened and check the staff record. Reply that you take it seriously and offer a call. Keep identity verification for each cleaner on file, and say so on your page.

Who it is for

This is written for these home cleaning companies.

  • Deep cleaning and one-time service providers
  • Recurring home maintenance cleaning companies
  • Sofa, carpet and upholstery cleaning specialists
  • Move-in and move-out cleaning services
  • Office and commercial cleaning contractors
  • Society and apartment complex cleaning contracts
  • Franchise-model cleaning companies

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have never asked a customer for a review, so there is nothing yet to manage beyond a bare listing.
  • You answer reviews only after spotting a complaint, and nobody owns the reply when a cleaner has not yet been heard.
  • You want a bad review removed, which the platform decides and which a reply cannot achieve.

How it works

How the reputation management work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Search your name as a stranger would

    We search the business, its main product names and the owner's name, on a phone and a laptop, and record what appears.

  2. 2

    Catalogue every mention

    Reviews, news, listings, social posts and forum threads are sorted into accurate and positive, accurate and negative, and wrong. Each group gets a different action.

  3. 3

    Agree the replies and the owner of each

    Replies are drafted and approved by you. Anything involving a refund, a clinical matter, a legal claim or a named employee goes to the right person in your business before anything is posted.

  4. 4

    Fix what you control

    Listings, profile details and your own pages are corrected, and pages worth ranking for your name are strengthened with accurate information.

  5. 5

    Monitor and report

    The agreed places are checked on the agreed schedule. The name search is repeated and compared with the first record.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we reply to a complaint before we have spoken to the cleaner?
Post a short reply the same day saying you are checking with the team, then add the outcome once you have it. A complaint left sitting for a week tells everyone scrolling past that nobody is watching the profile.
Can a bad review be removed?
Only if it breaks the platform's policies. Otherwise, a good reply is the better response.
A customer says a cleaner stole something. How do we respond online?
Do not accuse or defend. Say you take it seriously and ask them to call. Check attendance and the verification record, and cooperate fully if they report it to the police. Keep the reply short, factual and free of the cleaner's name.
A regular customer left one star after we changed the cleaner. What do we do?
Call them. Regular customers value the same face, so say that you should have told them about the change. Reply in public with a short apology and a plan to tell customers before a swap. Check whether other regulars have the same worry.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
