  • Set the primary category to Junk removal service. Add a second category only for work you actually do in St. Louis.
  • Service area: Central West End, Soulard, Clayton, Kirkwood, St. Charles. Leave a town off if the truck does not go there.
  • Write the description from the local job, not from a slogan. The load you will take, the items you refuse, and where it legally goes.
  • Hours are the hours a person answers. Answer the same day and ask for photos, stairs, and the town. A same-week window is more honest than a same-hour promise you cannot keep.
  • Photos should look like the housing: brick houses and basements in the city and close-in suburbs, with a separate newer stock in St. Charles

Reviews

Ask customers in Central West End, Soulard, and Clayton after a finished job. A review that names the work and one of those neighborhoods is the one a neighbor trusts. A review that says "great service" could be anywhere.

Use only reviews customers wrote. Do not buy them, and do not hand someone a script. ServiceBase will not generate a quote for you to paste into Google.

Reply to the reviews you have. Mention the job, not a discount. If you do not have reviews yet, the listing should still be accurate. Empty and honest beats a fake stack.

Local search

Mistakes that cost the next job

  • Saying you haul paint, chemicals, or anything else the dump refuses.
  • Ignoring stairs and parking.
  • One price for a couch and a whole house.
  • St. Louis is not the whole map. Central West End, Soulard, and Clayton are a believable route only if you go there. Adding Kansas City because it is nearby is how the appointment slips.
  • Copy that ignores humid summers, cold winters, ice, tornado and hail risk, and clay that moves with moisture reads like a template. So does a photo set that does not match brick houses and basements in the city and close-in suburbs, with a separate newer stock in St. Charles
