Hooks · Cleaning services
Opening lines that stop the scroll for cleaning services
Show the dirt in the first second: half clean, half filthy, no talking. The mistake this trade makes is posting a smiling team photo with a logo, and nobody books that. Post to the seasons too — three weeks before Ramadan, not in the week everybody is already calling.

Using these hooks
How do I use these hooks?
Show the dirt in the first second: half clean, half filthy, no talking. The mistake this trade makes is posting a smiling team photo with a logo, and nobody books that. Post to the seasons too — three weeks before Ramadan, not in the week everybody is already calling.
Should I use them word for word?
Use the shape, change the words. These are written for cleaning services generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.
Do these work in Urdu?
Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
