Salem Oregon Carpet Cleaners Battle for 1st place on GOOGLE

Type in Carpet Cleaning in Salem Oregon and you will find several companies battling for that 1st place spot on the mighty google front page. The belief is that the top few listed are the best ones to call first. It makes a lot of sense from the easy marketing point of view. People are generally wanting to get things done easily, so calling the top listed 2-3 or even 3-5 companies usually gets the job done with pretty good results. This is no different for any service related company from plumbing to concrete work.
The best and most often overlooked companies that clean carpets are not on the top of the GOOGLE search engines. Only Those who spend the big bucks advertising with the search engines and other SEO related services tend to migrate their way to the top. Let's be honest here, the companies that know how to manipulate, spend and have other manipulators do the work get the favored first on the page prize. I know companies that spend more time with their social network than they do running their business so they can get the business...  And around the merry -go -round we go.
Here are the top things these small business owners have to do to get the prize:

1. Attain an optimized web site and if possible two
2. Acquire a blog- and it update almost daily or weekly
3. Generate tons of feedback and reviews 

Take and cross link all the above items with back links, web site submissions, embedding videos, pictures, updates so that all three have some sort of pattern that refers back to the business
Now you can see where we get on the merry-go-round.  The problem is it gets spinning faster and there is no where to get off without losing your ranking somewhere in the lineup.
This  is why some companies pay top dollar for some other company or service to manage it all for them.
In fact this blog is in the same game linked to a couple other sites so that the search engines crawl over this new content and rush it to the top. Some companies (like ours) have organically made its way to the top of search engines under certain key word look ups. I would love to tell you exactly why that happened, but the fact of the matter is that top secret combination (at least for us) has been throwing a lot of different things out there to see what sticks.  Yeah, we read how all the above was important and rag tagged together the needed items to put together a system. But in all honesty it isn't our fancy web site and marketing that makes Fast Finish great, it is the two owners business acumen, the dedication to improvement and the years of experience- real life experience that clients can relate to.
Oh yeah , the creative mind and high tech patent tools and equipment behind it doesn't hurt either...

Fast Finish short film "Grime Busters"

Just having some fun in Salem Oregon making an iMovie for cleaning hard surfaces. This is one of the many patent tools we utilize to give your floor that better than new look. Often times after a floor has been put into place by a contractor it is only wiped down or mopped with the original factory finish. This leaves at best a box store finish and a layer of haze that mopping and regular cleaning does not address. We take that factory haze away. Newly installed floors are not really clean, they are just new. We service new floors and seal them before they get use. Do not forget this important step if you are moving into a new home. It is overlooked 99% of the time.

Pet & Smoker Odors in the Home you want to sell?

HOME ODORS

REVIEWS YOU CAN TRUST CLICK HERE    about Fast Finish Services

Home buyers don't want houses that stink. Sellers must identify and remove odors that make prospective purchasers hold their noses and run for the exits.

A buyer's market is a tough challenge for sellers, says Patti Ketcham, owner of Ketcham Realty Group in Tallahassee, Fla.

"If you're selling," she says, "your house has to look a little better, smell a little better and be priced a little better than the other houses the buyer will look at that same day."

Unfortunately, it's not always easy for sellers to identify familiar smells that might be problematic, says Neeraj Gupta, director of product research and development at Service Master Clean, which performs major cleanups and post-disaster restorations of residential and commercial properties.

"There is no 'odor meter,'" Gupta says. "People get used to the odor of their house and may not notice that something is not pleasant."

Outside sniffers

The best way to find out whether a house smells OK is to "ask someone who doesn't live there to come inside and give an opinion," Gupta says.

The obvious "someone" would be the real estate broker hired to sell the home. But not all brokers will point out that a house smells bad, even if they're willing to offer other helpful suggestions.

Ketcham, for one, says she's not outspoken about odor issues. Instead, she offers to pass along any unfiltered "brutal truth" comments she hears from her colleagues who bring buyers to see the property. That way, the message gets delivered with less risk to her cordial relationship with the sellers.

"I will never be the kind that will come out and tell you that your house smells like cat litter or mothballs," she says. "I would rip my tongue out first."

NOTE: This is very common practice. They almost never tell you anything so that the homeowner is not offended.

Pet odors

The two most common sources of difficult and offensive odors are pets and cigarettes; neither of which, Gupta says, is easy to remediate.
The point might seem obvious, but the first line of defense in any smelly situation is to remove the source of the problem, even if that means a beloved pet must board elsewhere for a while.
"It's kind of cruel," Gupta says, "but if the pet is in the house, you're introducing new odor every day. For people who have pets, over time, it's a losing battle to get rid of the odor."
Cat urine, among the worst of the bad odors, can seep into carpet fibers, carpet padding, concrete and wood floors, upholstery fabrics, and furniture cushions and pillows.
"Oftentimes," he says, "you have to remove the carpet, remove the pad and seal the floor, and then replace the carpet and the pad."
Cleaning the carpet might help. But Gupta warns that any humidity will raise the odor from the padding or floor beneath.

No smoking

Cigarette smoke can cling to furnishings, drapes and other window coverings and work its way inside walls. Some topically applied solutions can help to reduce the stench, but an ozone generator,  or air scrubber should be more effective, Gupta says. These approaches are "very effective in absorbing odors," he says, though there is no guarantee that an odor can be eliminated completely.
One more tip: If someone suffers a long illness or dies in a home, a good airing may be adequate to remove any odors. In the case of a violent death, however, professionals who handle what's known as "trauma cleanup" should be called to do the job. The cost could be $1,000 or more depending on the type of remediation and the square footage.
"It's not like buying glass cleaner in a store and cleaning your windows," Gupta says. "If you have that type of situation, it's probably best to call a professional. It may be traumatic for you to do it yourself."
