AI employees for cleaning companies
A cleaning business lives and dies on two numbers: how many recurring clients you keep, and where you show up when someone searches “cleaners near me.” Both are won by boring, consistent desk work — the kind that loses to a full schedule every single week.
Cleaning is a recurring-revenue business run like a one-off one: clients quietly churn, reviews decide who gets the next enquiry, and quotes go out whenever the evening allows. KentoHQ gives you named AI employees who make the retention and reputation work actually happen — check-ins drafted, reviews asked for and answered, quotes out same-day, area pages ranking — every week, verified, for one flat price.
The problems this actually solves
- Recurring clients leave quietly — you find out from the cancelled slot — regular check-in notes drafted for your long-standing clients (“all still to your liking? anything we should do differently?”) — the five-minute habit that catches wobbles before they become cancellations.
- Reviews decide who gets hired, and asking feels awkward — a polite review request drafted after the first clean and at natural milestones, plus a calm, professional reply to every review that lands — including the one-star that wasn't your fault.
- Quotes for new homes and offices go out days late — from a few details — rooms or square metres, frequency, your rates — a tidy quote is drafted the same hour the enquiry arrives. You approve it from your phone between jobs.
- You clean in twelve areas but rank in one — a page per area and per service (end-of-tenancy, office contracts, deep cleans), written plainly, published, and verified live — so the next-town-over searches find you too.
- Winning one office contract would beat ten one-off cleans, but who has time to prospect? — the companies visiting your website get identified — company-level only, privacy-safe — and Jack drafts the intro to the ones worth a commercial pitch.
What your AI team does in a typical week
Same-day quote drafts for every enquiry, retention check-ins for regulars on a rota, and researched intros to the businesses that visited your site. All drafts, all your call.
Drafts replies to client messages, reschedule requests, and every new review — warm for the five-stars, unflappable for the rest. You skim and approve.
Service-area pages, before-and-after posts with your photos, and answers to what people search (“what does end-of-tenancy cleaning cost?”) — published and verified live.
Which areas and searches brought enquiries, which page converts, where traffic dipped — plain English, one fix flagged, no spreadsheet safari.
New enquiries, quotes and check-ins awaiting your approval, reviews in overnight — one short note before the first key pickup.
What it costs vs what it replaces
Cleaning firms typically cobble together scheduling software, a review app they stopped opening, and Sunday evenings for quotes and the website. KentoHQ is one flat subscription — free in early access, no per-seat, no credit meter — that does the retention, reputation, and quoting work with proof it happened. Keep one weekly client who'd otherwise have drifted and the maths is done.
Frequently asked
I run this from my phone between jobs. Is that enough?
That's the intended setup. You brief the team in plain language once — your rates, your areas, how you like to sound — and approve drafts with a tap. No computer skills required beyond texting.
Will it message my clients without me knowing?
No. Check-ins, quotes, review replies — everything waits as a draft for your approval. That's the default, and it stays that way unless you deliberately change it.
Can it handle the awkward reviews?
It drafts the reply — factual, calm, and generous even when the review isn't fair — and you approve it. A composed response to a bad review often wins more customers than the five-stars around it.
Does it do the scheduling and staff rotas?
No — keep your scheduling app for that. This team does the work around it: the quote, the check-in, the review ask, the website. It fills the calendar; your existing tools organise it.
What does “verified” mean?
Every task is machine-checked before it counts as done — the area page is really live, the review reply draft really exists. Agents can't mark work complete without proof.
