Need another Industry?
At The Social Media Pros, we design junk removal websites that rank high in Google results, helping you draw in visitors and convert them into paying customers.
Creating your own junk removal website can be difficult. A consistent theme must be established; fonts and colors cannot clash, and the site cannot load slowly, either. In addition to this, it must connect with your Facebook, Google Ads, and all other marketing channels, too. This may be too much for you to handle, so reach out to The Social Media Pros for the help you need instead.
We maintain a team of SEO strategists, web devs, and copywriters, and they are prepared to create the perfect junk removal website for you. That way, your business has the virtual home it needs to generate leads and help you succeed.
Even if you have a visually appealing website already, it might still be failing you in ways you don’t expect. For example, has your site been written with SEO-friendly text? Are its CTA (call-to-action) buttons positioned strategically? If not, you are already missing out on conversions and losing jobs.
Fortunately, The Social Media Pros is here to help. We can track how visitors interact with your junk removal site—including where they get stuck or where they decide to leave. Then, we can use that data to adjust your website, making conversion easier and filling up your schedule with appointments.
Any visitor to your website will make a snap judgement. We make sure it's a good one so they stick around.
We use WordPress to streamline our SEO process and help your site climb Google results.
Build a rapport with your customers by showcasing photos of your work, describing your services, and providing free quotes.
Your competitors in the junk removal industry are using these strategies. Don't deprive yourself of the same privilege.
A strong junk removal website is the foundation for a strong PPC campaign, making a site essential to your success.
Your website is a 24/7 representative of your business, generating leads and booking jobs for you even when you aren't looking.
While you could make your website on Wix, Google, or Squarespace, it makes your business give off a less professional image. Did you know that it is 8.5x harder to rank on Google with a website built on the previously listed website builders? Why make SEO harder than it needs to be?
It ultimately depends from website to website. Some businesses only need a few pages to succeed, while others need a hundred or more. Our lowest-priced websites are around $1,500; reach out to us if you have any questions or want a cost estimate for your site project.
Whether your customers browse your website on a desktop computer, tablet, mobile phone, or another device, we ensure they have a seamless experience.
Our website design and SEO efforts go hand in hand. We perform keyword research, write fresh copy for each site, and even offer blogging services to ensure your business continues climbing the search rankings.
After reviewing your existing website, we will take what we have learned about your brand and apply it to the construction of a new website. When it's ready, we'll connect it to your domain, and business will carry on for you seamlessly.
If you choose to build your own junk removal website, you can save a significant amount of money. However, you have to remember that there are many aspects of site creation that you’ll have to pay attention to.
We have include some guidelines below regarding website building and search engine optimization. We invite you to take a look.
Make a list of the keywords you want to rank for. Check out this free tool from UberSuggest.
Take a look at who your competitors are for these keywords. SpyFu makes a great free tool for this!
Once you have your list of junk removal keywords, you need to prioritize them by volume.
Armed with this information, it’s time to map out your junk removal pages. We do this by creating what’s called a wireframe. It looks like this:
Now write all the copy that will go on these pages. Or, hire someone to do it for you! You can go to the website UpWork to find freelance copywriters to send your wireframe to.
Next, submit your website to Google Search Console.
Finally—and perhaps most importantly—track and adjust. That way, you can make your site the best it can be. After all, that’s the whole point of having a website, right? You don’t want your website to be a paperweight that doesn’t get any traffic. What good would that do?
So in addition to our guidelines above, we’ve also compiled a list of important ranking factors specific to junk removal for you to be sure to include in your website build.
One of the best things you can do to get a high ranking junk removal website is to ensure that you have individual service pages. For example, let’s say you do furniture removal, appliance removal, and clean outs. Under the service tab at the top of your website, there should be a drop-down menu containing all your services, and each service should have its own page associated with it.
The reason having individual junk removal service pages is such a big deal is that one of the biggest ranking factors when it comes to Google is how many times a particular keyword appears on a webpage. So let’s say you want to rank for “commercial junk removal”, if you just have one page that lists all your services, you may only have the keyword “commercial junk removal” appear twice or thrice. Now imagine if you had an entire page dedicated to “commercial junk removal”!
Create individual service pages for all of the services that you provide.
Make sure that your website has a junk removal blog and that you actively add junk removal articles to it. Note: this is one of the things we provide monthly for our junk removal SEO clients because of how monumental it can be to rank a website.
The reason having a junk removal blog is so important to your Google ranking is because, as mentioned above, the more times a keyword appears on your website, the more likely you are to rank for that keyword. Imagine that your competitor doesn’t have a junk removal blog, and you have one with four to five furniture removal articles on it. Who do you think has a better chance to rank for “furniture removal company near me”?
Add a blog page, and make sure to try and add at least one junk removal blog post a month.
One of the best things you can do for your website is to have call-to-action buttons like “Get A Quote” and “Call Now” in high-traffic areas of your website. Typically, you want to add these buttons in the header and under paragraphs throughout your junk removal website.
Imagine spending money on Google Ads, being ranked number one in the map pack, and getting hundreds of website hits a month—only for none of the traffic to turn into leads. Research shows that just having a clickable phone button and a get-a-quote button at the top of your page can increase your conversion rate by more than 10%. So, if you get 300 hits a month to your website, that’s an extra thirty leads a month! But this isn’t just limited to the header. It’s important to also add call-to-action buttons throughout your website.
Add calls to action in key areas of your website, such as the header, as well as the top sections, middle sections, and footers of your web pages.
Make sure that you use some kind of plugin or code on your junk removal website that links directly to your Google Business Profile.
By linking to your junk removal Google reviews on your website, you do two things. First, it shows your potential customers who have landed on your website that you are a reputable junk removal company, not just a guy down the street. More importantly, what it does is it helps with SEO. When you link the two, it builds brand trust between your website and Google, helping your ranks.
Make sure that whatever platform you build your site on has a way to link and show your Google business reviews.
The speed of your junk removal website is one of the highest-weighted SEO factors. When Google crawls your website, they time how long it takes the website to load. The longer the wait, the worse your rankings will be. So, ensure that your junk removal website is as fast as possible!
You can check your website speed by going to GTmetrix.
You want your junk removal website speed to be at an “A” or above. This gives you a huge advantage because if you were to run your competitors’ websites through this tool, it would be very likely all of them would have a grade less than an “A”, which gives your junk removal website a huge ranking advantage.
Run your junk removal website through the GTmetrix tool, and if your score is less than an “A”, take a look at the suggestions that it gives you to resolve some of these issues.
When it comes to the wording on your junk removal website, it is important to do proper keyword research, and then map out the keywords you’ll be using.
Let’s say you really want to rank for “electronic waste removal”, then come to find out no one actually searches for that and end up spending a lot of time trying to rank a page for a keyword that has zero traffic! Using UberSuggest, which is pictured above, you can compile a keyword list that actually gets traffic in your market.
Before you start adding pages, writing blogs, and adding more text to your junk removal site, it’s important that you focus on keywords that actually have high volume. Remember—at the end of the day, we want leads, and leads come from having high traffic.
Let’s say you live in Dallas and want to rank #1 for junk removal related keywords in your city. This is going to take some time because Dallas, TX is a big market. By using keyword research, you may even realize that there is search volume for:
“junk removal (insert suburb here)”
So how do you rank for those keywords when your whole website is geared towards:
“junk removal dallas”
The answer is that you create location pages!
This is critical to capturing the low-hanging fruit that your competitors are likely not going after. You see, almost all of your competitors are going after the biggest city in your market. So, by adding smaller focuses and creating individual pages for the suburbs, Google will index these pages, and you’ll start showing up when people search for junk removal related keywords in that particular suburb.
Add a pop-up to your junk removal website that offers some kind of discount in exchange for their email. You can set up an automated system that sends them this code.
Adding a pop-up that captures emails in exchange for a discount on their first services with you does two things. One, if they sign up and get the discount, they are much more likely to book with you.
Secondly, you can add that email to a future email marketing campaign that will allow for you to market to leads and past customers.
Add a pop-up to the home page of your junk removal website.
When you’re building your own junk removal website, you’ll want to make sure that you have lots of text. Not just random filler text, but actual content about the services you provide.
As you can see by the example, for one of our clients, Frost Pressure Washing we added over 1,500 words just on the home page, and for most of the service pages, we added over 1,000 words.
As explained earlier, not only does this give the potential customer more information about why you’re the better, more professional junk removal company, but it helps you rank much higher!
Again, if you have an appliance removal page, where the words “appliance removal” appear more times on your site than your competitors’ websites, Google will think your information is more valuable.
Make sure your junk removal website stands out, is bright, and is professional-looking.
A lot of you are proud that you’re not the cheapest in town but sometimes struggle to close jobs at your price point. Well, having a professional website that stands out can help.
The reason having an amazing junk removal website can help you close higher-ticket jobs is that your website commands a high price before the potential customer even picks up the phone.
Imagine the customer lands on a poorly built four-page website, calls you to get a quote, and finds out that you’re the highest price in town. No wonder they’re surprised! Your website didn’t set the precedent.
Compare this to if they land on a professional junk removal website. They will already have in their mind that this isn’t some guy with a truck. It’s a legit company, and they’re not going to be cheap.
Most website-building tools nowadays have this built in, but you want to make sure. Here is a detailed explanation of what SSL is.
In regard to SEO, making sure that your junk removal website has an SSL certificate can help your rankings. It goes without saying, but the last thing you want a homeowner to see when they try and go to your website is a message saying “this site may be unsecured”.
Add SSL certificates to your website.
Google Search Console is Google’s tool that does all of the crawling for all of the websites on the Internet. Anytime you add or update a page on your website, you should log in to your GSC (Google Search Console) account and submit that page to be indexed and crawled.
By default, all pages (for the most part) on the Internet will be crawled whether or not you ask Google to. However, submitting specific pages to GSC will help Google find, crawl, and index them faster.
This is why SEO can be seen as a bit of a slow process. Imagine hiring a company like ours, or doing a ton of SEO work over a short period of time, and then having to wait weeks, or sometimes months, for Google to come and index the new updates.
By using GSC, you can speed this process up.
Set up and use GSC. Here is a great video that can help you with this process.
One of the things that helps Google crawl, index, and understand what your website is about is internal links. These can be links that connect to other pages on your website. The navigation menu or footer of your website are good examples.
Another example of this is linking text to a webpage not on your website like this: —> Yoast
By scattering internal and external links throughout your junk removal website, you do two things.
1. You help Google crawl your website more easily, so it’s likely that any SEO changes you make will happen faster.
2. You help Google understand what your website is about because it sees what kind of content you are prioritizing.
Make sure that you add as many internal and external links throughout your website as possible.
Notably, one of the best things you can do for SEO is off-page SEO. This is the process of having your website appear on as many other websites as possible.
This comes in two forms:
We won’t dive into why backlinks are one of the most important junk removal website ranking factors, but Moz put out a great article on the topic.
In a nutshell, backlinks show Google that your junk removal website has authority. You see, if there are a hundred websites that link back to your website, and your competitor only has ten, Google will think your website is more authoritative on the topic, thus giving you a better ranking.
An example of some backlinks you likely already have are Facebook, Yelp, Google Business Profile, BBB, etc.
Building backlinks is the single most important thing that we do for our clients because it has such a large impact on ranking.
