Hi everyone,
I want to ask if any other cleaning companies or trades businesses are having the same problem.
Has anyone else been paying for advertising / lead generation platforms and receiving suspected fake, spam or completely unqualified leads?
I run IVS Cleaning LTD and we have been dealing with this issue for a long time. We are receiving multiple “new job” notifications within minutes, sometimes under the same name, across different London postcodes. Many people never reply, some phone numbers or emails seem wrong, and some enquiries do not look like real customers looking for cleaning services.
This has been reported before, but the issue continues.
We are paying a lot of money every month expecting genuine customer leads and proper visibility, not spam notifications and wasted time.
I also want to know if other businesses feel they are not being shown properly in search results, even though they have been paying for years.
Please comment below if you have experienced:
fake or spam leads, duplicated leads, wrong contact details, customers who never reply, people selling services instead of requesting your service, poor visibility despite paying, no real return from the platform.
I’m gathering evidence to see if this is affecting more businesses and whether we should make a wider formal complaint together.
Please share your experience below or message me privately.
