I dumped $200 into Canva templates for TikTok videos showing my deep cleaning tricks with O-Cedar mops, thinking it'd blow up like those influencers claim. Total BS, zero leads after a week of posting. Save your cash, stick to door-knocking or something real.

skip tiktok, get a google business profile instead, costs less and actually works for local house cleans.
