Get quote-ready commercial cleaning leads. Pay per lead, not per month. Live in 48 hours.
We find local businesses that want a cleaning quote and send them straight to you. You only pay when a real lead comes in. No monthly fee. No ad spend. No shared leads.
Before you watch the demo — let me ask you something.
Have you tried any of this to grow your cleaning company?
Look — most lead sources are built for homeowners. Or they sell the same lead to 5 of your competitors. Or they charge a flat fee whether they deliver or not. Here's what most owners have already wasted money on:
None of them were made for commercial cleaning. This is.
Here's what makes us different: you only pay when a real business asks for a quote.
No monthly fee. No ad spend. No "lead credits." The lead has to be real, just for you, and in your area — or it doesn't count.
-
✓They want a quoteA real decision-maker says "yes, come walk through" or "send me a quote."
-
✓Commercial — never homesIf a homeowner asks about their kitchen, you don't pay.
-
✓In your area & a business you serveIt's in your zip codes and a type of business you handle.

✕Wrong service?Doesn't count. They asked about something you don't offer.

✕They thought we were the ones wanting a quote?Doesn't count.
"Cool — but does it actually work?"
Here's a real email we sent.
This isn't a copy-paste email. Our system scanned the business's Google reviews. It found a customer complaint about cleanliness. Then it used that as the opening line.
Hey Penny,
Noticed the Google review that Alina left that said: "there is a lack of cleaning."
I'm pretty sure she blew it out of proportion a bit, but I'm happy to take concerns about cleaning off of your plate.
I'll be cleaning a business near Jenkintown this week — want me to pass by for a brief walkthrough + cost estimate? (no charge of course)
Sincerely,
André
Here's what happens when one of them says yes.
The second a business says "yes, I want a quote," you get two emails. So you can call them back fast — not hours later.
Lead replies "Yes, send me a quote"
A real decision-maker says yes to one of our emails.

re: Quick note about Alina's review
"Penny — looping in [Your Name] who runs scheduling..."
This isn't a one-time thing. Here's what real replies look like.
Real "yes, I want a quote" replies from our clients' campaigns. Names changed for privacy — everything else is real.
↑ Real replies from client campaigns in the past 90 days. Names changed; business types and details are real.
"But who actually replies?"
Fair question. Here's the honest answer.
We pulled data from the last 300+ quote-ready leads we delivered to our clients. Here are the most common business types that come through.
Be realistic about the mix. About two-thirds of leads come from restaurants, gyms, medical practices, retail shops, and schools. Property management and real estate happen too, but they're a smaller slice — usually around 5% of total leads. Most of what you'll get is steady recurring contracts from normal local businesses.
Don't want a certain type of business? We figure it out together on our quick call. Don't want restaurants? Off the list. Don't want churches? Off the list. Once we know what you want and don't want, we'll set up your campaign and quote a price per lead.
Honest answer: we're not the right fit for everyone.
A bad fit hurts both of us — your money, our name. Read this before you apply. We'd rather have the awkward talk now than three months in.
You'll love working with us if…
-
You get how cold email works.Our clients close 1 out of every 6.72 leads on average. Strong sellers close more. Weaker ones close less. If that number shocks you, that's just how cold email works — it's not us.
-
You're realistic about who replies.We can target by type of business and zip code. We can't filter by building size, contract size, or how often they need cleaning. That's for you to find out on the call.
-
You reply to leads within an hour.How fast you reply matters more than anything else. We've seen this with all 29 of our clients.
-
You stay on leads who go quiet.Most people who say "yes I want a quote" will get busy, look at other companies, or forget. That's normal. Friendly follow-up over the next few weeks is what wins the deal. The reply is the lead. Closing it is your job, and it usually takes more than one email.
-
You can wait 60–90 days for full results.First lead: in about a week. First sale: around 30 days in. Steady money back: month 2 or 3. You need cash to bridge that gap.
This probably isn't a fit if…
-
You expect every lead to convert.Cold email is a numbers game. Strong sellers close 1 in 5. Weaker sellers close 1 in 10. If 1 in 7 sounds bad to you, this isn't right for you yet.
-
You only want big enterprise deals.We mostly send normal local businesses — offices, churches, schools, restaurants. Big Class-A office deals happen sometimes, but they're rare.
-
Same-day replies aren't doable for you.Hot leads cool down fast. If your team can't reply within a few hours, you'll lose deals.
-
You want to dispute leads who go quiet after 1 message.A real "yes I want a quote" is still a real lead, even if they go quiet later. Closing them is on you.
-
You need positive ROI in 30 days.Commercial cleaning deals take time. If your cash is tight right now, wait until you have more runway.
If the right column hit closer to home, no hard feelings — we're probably not the right fit right now.
Four things no other agency can deliver.
Why we only do commercial cleaning.
We're André & Johannes, the co-founders of Zukuma. We came from marketing. We saw the same problem at every cleaning company we worked with: too many home cleaning leads from Angi, not enough business contracts that actually pay the bills.
So we built Zukuma to do one thing: connect cleaners with businesses that want a quote. No homes. Just commercial.
That's why our emails land in inboxes 2x more than the industry. That's why our copy works. That's why every lead is just for you. We only get paid when you win.
Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.
How do we compare to what you're doing now?
| Angi / Thumbtack | Google / FB Ads | Zukuma | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Exclusivity | ✕ Shared with 5+ | ✓ Yours | ✓ Yours alone |
| Commercial vs Residential | ✕ Mostly residential | ✕ Mostly residential | ✓ 100% commercial |
| How you pay | Pay per shared lead ($30–$80) | $2K–$5K/mo ad spend, no guarantee | Pay only when a real lead comes in |
| Time to first lead | Instant (but low quality) | 30+ days to dial in | Within the first week |
And the best part? We can have you live in 48 hours.
By the time you sign, we already know your area, target types, and exclusions from the quick call. So the clock starts the moment you sign — no extra prep needed.
Probably. Here are the ones we get most.
What counts as a "qualified lead"?
Are leads really just for me?
What kind of businesses will I get?
How much does each lead cost?
How fast will I see results?
We've tried cold email before — why is this different?
Do I need a sales rep to handle the leads?
Who is this NOT a fit for?
