How it fits together

Pick what you need now. Add what you need next.

Every service business we work with sits somewhere on the same curve. Early on, the owner sells everything and the calendar depends on referrals. Then the website goes up, a few ads run, reviews trickle in and growth becomes a question of which channel to trust. Eventually the business needs predictable demand it can hire against.

Our services are designed to meet you at any point on that curve. A residential field campaign can fill a spring calendar in weeks. Local SEO builds the map-pack presence that turns every future search into a call. Paid media adds a throttle you can open in peak season. Sales training and brand ambassador programs turn it all into a capability your business owns.

Whatever the mix, you get one team, one plan and one set of numbers: conversations, booked estimates, rankings, leads and cost per booked job.

Face-to-face marketing

In-person campaigns that put your brand in front of real decision-makers

Digital ads are easy to ignore. A trained representative on a doorstep, in a lobby or at a community event is not. Our field teams open conversations with homeowners, strata councils, property managers and business owners across Metro Vancouver, then hand your team warm, qualified appointments.

Residential canvassing

Residential Field Campaigns

Neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood door-to-door campaigns that book estimates for cleaning, exterior maintenance, landscaping and home improvement companies.

Residential field marketing is the fastest way to fill a service calendar in a specific postal code. We map the neighbourhoods where your ideal customers live — detached homes with driveways that need sealing, townhome complexes due for gutter cleaning, established streets where roofs are twenty years old — and deploy trained representatives who introduce your company, qualify interest and book an on-site estimate.

Every campaign is built on a territory plan, a tested script, a same-day booking process and daily reporting. Your representatives wear your branding, follow your service standards and represent your company the way you would on your best day.

What is included

  • Territory mapping and route planning across Metro Vancouver
  • Recruited, trained and managed field representatives
  • Conversation scripts, objection handling and offer design
  • Same-day appointment setting synced to your calendar or CRM
  • Daily door counts, conversation rates and booked-estimate reporting
  • Compliance with municipal solicitation bylaws and no-knock lists

Ideal for

  • Pressure washing and exterior cleaning
  • House cleaning and maid services
  • Gutter, roof and window cleaning
  • Landscaping, lawn care and snow removal
  • Painting, roofing and renovation contractors

Commercial outreach

B2B Field Sales & Commercial Outreach

Structured in-person prospecting to property managers, strata councils, facilities teams and business owners who buy recurring commercial services.

Commercial contracts are won in relationships, not inboxes. Our B2B field teams walk business parks, retail corridors and residential towers to meet the people who sign cleaning, maintenance and contracting agreements — and they keep showing up until the contract is signed.

We combine physical visits with a light-touch digital cadence (LinkedIn, email and phone follow-up) so every prospect hears from you through multiple channels. You receive a pipeline of qualified opportunities with decision-maker names, contract renewal dates and next steps.

What is included

  • Target account lists: strata corporations, property managers, offices, retail and industrial
  • In-person prospecting visits with branded collateral and leave-behinds
  • Multi-touch follow-up cadence across phone, email and LinkedIn
  • Site-walk and proposal-meeting scheduling for your estimators
  • Pipeline reporting with decision-maker contacts and renewal timing

Ideal for

  • Commercial and janitorial cleaning
  • Strata and property maintenance
  • Commercial contracting and renovation
  • HVAC, electrical and plumbing service contracts
  • Property management firms seeking new owners

Events & retail

Event & Retail Activations

Home shows, community festivals, big-box retail and pop-up activations staffed by brand ambassadors who convert foot traffic into booked appointments.

Home shows, farmers markets, community festivals and retail floors gather thousands of your potential customers in one place. We design the activation — booth concept, offer, lead capture and staffing — and run it end to end so your team can stay focused on delivering the work.

Our brand ambassadors are trained to open conversations, demonstrate value quickly and capture qualified leads with consent-based follow-up, so every event produces a measurable pipeline rather than a bowl of business cards.

What is included

  • Event selection and ROI forecasting for the Lower Mainland calendar
  • Booth design, offer structure and lead-capture tooling
  • Trained brand ambassadors in your uniform and voice
  • Post-event follow-up sequences and appointment booking
  • Cost-per-lead and cost-per-appointment reporting per event

Ideal for

  • Home improvement and renovation brands
  • Cleaning and home service franchises
  • Real estate developers and home builders
  • Retail-partnered service brands

Team development

Sales Team Training & Brand Ambassador Programs

Build your own in-house field sales capability with recruiting, onboarding, scripts, coaching and performance management from people who do this every day.

Some businesses want a campaign; others want a capability. Our training programs teach your technicians, estimators and office staff how to open conversations, present value and close on the spot — turning every service call and quote into a growth opportunity.

For companies scaling beyond the owner, we recruit and onboard brand ambassadors, establish daily rhythms and KPIs, and coach managers on running a field team that performs consistently without burning out.

What is included

  • Sales playbooks tailored to your services and pricing
  • Role-play workshops for technicians, estimators and reps
  • Recruiting, screening and onboarding of field representatives
  • KPI dashboards, daily huddles and weekly coaching
  • Compensation and incentive design that rewards quality

Ideal for

  • Owner-operators ready to step out of selling
  • Franchisees building local teams
  • Service businesses with strong retention but weak acquisition

SEO & digital media

Search and digital media programs built for service-area businesses

When a homeowner in Burnaby searches “pressure washing near me” or a facilities manager searches “commercial cleaning Vancouver”, you need to be on the map, on the first page and ready to convert. We build the local SEO, paid media and website foundations that make that happen — and we report on leads, not impressions.

Local search

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Own the map pack for the services and cities you serve — from Vancouver to Langley — with a fully optimised Google Business Profile and review engine.

For service-area businesses, the Google map pack is where most calls come from. We optimise every element that Google uses to rank local results: categories, service lists, service areas, photos, posts, Q&A, citations and — most importantly — a steady flow of authentic reviews.

We then extend that footprint with city-level service pages that capture searches like “gutter cleaning Coquitlam” and “office cleaning Burnaby” without thin, duplicated content that gets filtered out.

What is included

  • Google Business Profile audit, optimisation and ongoing management
  • Review generation system with technician-level tracking
  • Citation building and NAP consistency across Canadian directories
  • City and neighbourhood service-area pages with unique content
  • Local rank tracking across Metro Vancouver grid points

Ideal for

  • Any service business that depends on “near me” searches
  • Multi-city operators expanding into new suburbs
  • Businesses with strong service but few reviews

Organic growth

Technical SEO & Content Strategy

Fix what holds your site back, publish content that answers real customer questions and build the authority that keeps you ranking year after year.

Organic search compounds. Every month you rank for the terms your customers use is a month of leads you did not pay for. We start with a technical audit — speed, crawlability, structured data, mobile experience — then build a content plan mapped to the exact keywords buyers search at each stage of a decision.

Our writers understand service businesses. They produce pricing guides, seasonal checklists, comparison pages and location content that ranks and, more importantly, convinces.

What is included

  • Technical SEO audit and remediation roadmap
  • Keyword research and page-level intent mapping
  • Service, location and educational content production
  • Schema markup for services, FAQs, reviews and locations
  • Monthly reporting on rankings, traffic and lead attribution

Ideal for

  • Businesses with a website that “doesn’t do anything”
  • Companies competing against national lead-gen platforms
  • Owners who want a durable alternative to paid ads

Conversion

Websites That Book Jobs

Fast, mobile-first websites for service businesses with instant quote forms, click-to-call, online booking and the trust signals that turn visitors into customers.

Your website is your hardest-working salesperson — or your weakest. We design and build sites for service businesses that load fast, look credible on a phone and make the next step obvious: call, quote or book.

Every site ships with technical SEO foundations, schema markup, analytics and conversion tracking so it is ready to rank and ready to report from day one.

What is included

  • Conversion-focused design and copywriting
  • Mobile-first build with Core Web Vitals performance
  • Quote forms, click-to-call and online booking integrations
  • Service and location page architecture built for SEO
  • Analytics, call tracking and lead attribution

Ideal for

  • Businesses whose site is more than three years old
  • Companies launching or rebranding
  • Owners who want to stop losing leads to competitors online

Digital media

Social Media & Reputation Management

Before-and-after content, review management and community presence that keep your brand top of mind between the search and the sale.

Service businesses have the best content in the world: transformations. We turn your daily work into short-form video, before-and-after posts and neighbourhood stories that build recognition across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

We also manage the reputation layer — responding to reviews, resolving issues fast and showcasing your best feedback where buyers look — so every prospect who checks you out finds a business they can trust.

What is included

  • Content strategy and monthly production calendar
  • On-site capture of before-and-after and crew content
  • Community management and review responses
  • Reputation monitoring across Google, Facebook and industry directories
  • Engagement, reach and lead-source reporting

Ideal for

  • Visual trades: cleaning, painting, landscaping, renovation
  • Brands building a recognisable local presence
  • Businesses recovering from a reputation setback

Built for your industry

Marketing for cleaning companies, contractors and home service businesses.

The same two channels, tuned to how each industry actually wins work. Here is what a Brightnest program looks like for the businesses we serve most.

01

Marketing for cleaning companies

Residential and commercial cleaning companies live or die on recurring clients. Our marketing for cleaning companies combines neighbourhood field campaigns that book first cleans, B2B outreach that opens office, strata and medical-clinic contracts, and a local SEO program that owns searches like house cleaning Coquitlam and commercial cleaning Vancouver.

Reviews are the currency of this industry, so every program includes a review engine tied to completed jobs and technician-level tracking.

  • First-clean and recurring-plan offers presented at the door
  • Property manager and office prospecting with site-walk booking
  • City and service pages for every cleaning type you offer
  • Before-and-after social content that proves the work
Plan a cleaning company program
02

Marketing for contractors

Renovation, roofing, painting and general contracting buyers research for weeks and trust people over ads. Our marketing for contractors pairs consultation-first field campaigns in neighbourhoods with older housing stock, home-show activations and a Google presence built on project photography, reviews and service pages that answer pricing questions honestly.

The goal is forward-booked capacity: a pipeline of qualified consultations you can hire and order materials against.

  • Consultation-first door and event conversations, never a hard sell
  • Project photography turned into search, social and YouTube content
  • Google Search and Local Services Ads for high-intent renovation terms
  • Speed-to-lead follow-up so estimates never go cold

03

Marketing for home and commercial service businesses

Exterior cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, property maintenance and facilities services all share the same growth problem: seasonal demand and crowded local search results. We time field campaigns to each season's peak, capture the searches that follow with local SEO and paid media, and keep commercial accounts warm year-round with structured B2B outreach.

Every program is planned around your capacity so leads arrive when crews can take them.

  • Seasonal territory plans timed four to six weeks before demand peaks
  • Map-pack optimisation across every municipality you serve
  • Paid media that scales up in peak season and back in the shoulder
  • Strata, property manager and facilities outreach for recurring contracts

Engagement process

What working with Brightnest looks like.

A discovery call, a written plan, a fast launch and weekly reporting. No retainers for the sake of retainers.

  1. STEP 01

    Discovery & audit

    We learn your services, margins, capacity and seasonality, then audit your current lead sources, website, search visibility and sales process.

  2. STEP 02

    Strategy & territory plan

    You receive a written growth plan: which neighbourhoods and accounts to target in person, which keywords to own online and what each channel should cost per booked job.

  3. STEP 03

    Launch

    Field teams are recruited and trained in your brand while our digital team builds pages, profiles and campaigns. Most programs launch within three to four weeks.

  4. STEP 04

    Optimise & scale

    Weekly reporting shows door counts, conversations, rankings, leads and cost per appointment. We double down on what works and cut what does not.

Local expertise

Marketing built for Metro Vancouver, not imported from somewhere else.

We plan field campaigns around the actual streets of North Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Surrey: which neighbourhoods have twenty-year-old roofs, which townhome complexes are due for gutter cleaning, which office parks renew janitorial contracts in the new year. We know municipal solicitation bylaws, the home-show calendar and when the first dry week of April lands.

On the digital side we build service-area pages that reflect how people in the Lower Mainland actually search: pressure washing North Vancouver, house cleaning Coquitlam, renovation contractor Burnaby, commercial cleaning Vancouver. We track rankings across a grid of the region, not a single point, so you see exactly where you win and where the next opportunity is.

Service FAQ

Common questions about our services.

Pricing models, timelines, compliance and what you own at the end of an engagement.

How are field representatives recruited and trained?

Representatives are recruited for communication skills, reliability and integrity, screened with reference and background checks where required, and trained on your services, pricing, brand standards and compliance requirements before they represent you. They are managed daily by a Brightnest team lead with clear conversation and booking targets.

Is door-to-door marketing allowed in Metro Vancouver municipalities?

Door-to-door canvassing is permitted across the region, subject to municipal bylaws covering hours, licensing and no-solicitation signage. We maintain current requirements for each municipality, obtain any required business licences and honour no-knock requests so your brand is always represented respectfully.

What does a typical face-to-face campaign cost?

Field programs are priced on a combination of campaign management and per-representative or per-appointment fees, depending on your goals. Most residential programs are structured so the cost per booked estimate is known before launch and reviewed weekly. We will give you a clear proposal after a discovery call.

How long does SEO take to produce leads?

Google Business Profile optimisation and review systems often move map-pack rankings within four to eight weeks. Website and content improvements typically show meaningful organic growth in three to six months, with results compounding after that. We combine SEO with field and paid programs so leads arrive while organic visibility builds.

Do you require long-term contracts?

Field campaigns are structured as seasonal or quarterly programs with clear targets. SEO and content programs are month-to-month after an initial three-month foundation period, because meaningful organic results take time to establish.

Can you manage Google Local Services Ads and the Google Guaranteed badge?

Yes. We handle Local Services Ads setup, the verification process for the Google Guaranteed badge where your category is eligible, lead dispute management and weekly optimisation, so the program pays for booked jobs rather than clicks.

Will I own my website, ad accounts and data?

Always. Every website we build, every ad account we create and every analytics property we configure is owned by you. If we ever part ways, everything stays with your business.

Do you offer sales training for my own technicians and estimators?

Yes. Our sales team training programs teach technicians, estimators and office staff how to present value, handle objections and close on site, and we can recruit and onboard an in-house field team if you want to build the capability internally.
