Pricing strategy for small office cleaning gigs in commercial clients?

I've been running my side hustle cleaning biz for a bit now, started with one small office account at the beginning of the year doing weekly cleans for $500 a month using just a Bissell vacuum and some Method all-purpose spray. Aiming to snag 3-4 more similar spots where it's only 1-2 visits a week, nothing too heavy on the deep cleans. Been in the Chicago area my whole career and these small businesses seem open to locals. What's the best way to advertise online for this? Saw some tips in the Cleaning Business Owners Facebook group about Google ads but not sure. Would love recs on other places to ask.

damn these small office owners nickel and dime you on every quote, had one haggle me down to $400 when i knew it was worth 600.

same here man, the haggling never ends.

i feel you, started out the same way and it sucks when they lowball.

screw these corporate types buying up cleaning companies and undercutting everyone. its ruining the game for us independents.

haha just tell em your rates include free cat herding, that usually cracks em up and they sign.

print business cards with your rates clear as day and hit up offices near your current one, works better than online bs.

customer thought i was kidding about the cat herding till i showed up with treats, hilarious way to break the ice.

big corps are the worst, saw a thread on r/CleaningTips where a guy got stiffed by one.

totally get the struggle, hang in there.

pisses me off how they expect pro work for hobby prices, walked off one job last week.

yep, been there with the lowballs.

offered a buddy a free window wash for referring me, got three calls in a week.

try local facebook groups too, post your services with before after pics of offices you've done.

word of mouth is still king for us cleaners, discount the referrer a clean and watch it spread.

hate how these chains are swallowing up the market, forcing us to drop prices just to compete. time to unionize or something.
