FrontDeskFred for Residential Cleaning

Residential Cleaning Answering Service That Never Misses a Call

A prospective client calls on a Sunday evening after seeing your ad, ready to book biweekly cleaning starting next week. You're mid-clean at another house with gloves on and a vacuum running, so the call goes to voicemail — and by the time you check it Monday morning, they've already booked with the cleaning company that texted them back in five minutes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can FrontDeskFred book new residential cleaning clients?

Yes. Fred collects the prospective client's name, address, home size, preferred cleaning frequency, and availability, then schedules their first appointment into your calendar. You arrive to a fully booked week without stopping mid-clean to take a call.

How does FrontDeskFred handle after-hours cleaning inquiries?

Fred operates 24/7. When someone sees your ad on a Sunday evening and calls to ask about weekly cleaning, Fred answers, answers their questions about your services and rates, and locks in a booking — so you wake up Monday with new clients already confirmed.

Does FrontDeskFred help cleaning businesses get more Google reviews?

Yes. After every completed clean, Fred automatically sends a review request to the client. You don't have to remember to ask and clients don't have to remember to leave one. Most cleaning businesses see their review count increase significantly within the first few months — which directly improves where you rank when someone searches for house cleaning near them.

Does FrontDeskFred sync with Jobber?

Yes. When Fred captures a call — new client inquiry, booking request, or reschedule — the details sync directly into your Jobber account. New clients appear as leads, job details land on the correct record, and your schedule updates without any manual entry. The bookings Fred captures at 10pm are waiting in your Jobber queue when you start the next morning.

What does FrontDeskFred cost for cleaning businesses?

FrontDeskFred starts with a one-time setup fee of $499 and a flat monthly subscription of $49/mo. No per-call charges, no caller caps, no contract. That compares with a full-time receptionist at $2,900–$3,750/mo, or a traditional answering service at $1–$3 per minute of talk time. See the full breakdown at /pricing.
