What your profile page should contain
Your Websta profile acts as a simple website for your cleaning business. It sits on the Websta platform and includes a dedicated page that shows your services, prices you set yourself, photos of your work, and a way for customers to get in touch or book.
Start with a clear description of what you offer: residential cleaning, office cleaning, end-of-tenancy cleaning, or other specialisms. Be specific about the types of properties you clean and the areas you cover within France. Customers want to know quickly whether you can help them.
Add photographs of cleaned spaces. These do not need to be professional shots, but they should show the quality of your work - a clean kitchen, a tidy bathroom, or a finished living room. Photos build trust more than words alone.
Set your own prices for each service. Websta does not impose fixed rates; you decide what you charge. When a customer books or requests a quote through your profile, payment goes directly to your own bank account via Stripe.
On your profile, you can offer online booking for services with fixed prices, or invite customers to request a quote for larger or custom jobs. Both options help capture demand.
Languages to publish in
In France, publish your profile primarily in French. This is the language most customers searching for cleaning services will use. If you speak other languages and work with expat communities in your area, you may add English or another language as a secondary option, but French should be your main language.
How customers find cleaners on Websta in France
Websta includes a marketplace where people search for services by type and location. When someone in France looks for a cleaner, they use the marketplace to filter by 'cleaning' and by their town or region. Your profile appears in these search results if you have claimed or created your page and listed the location where you work.
Customers can also post a task describing their cleaning needs - for example, 'End-of-tenancy clean for a two-bedroom apartment in Lyon' - and providers nearby can make offers. This task feature helps you find customers actively looking for your type of work.
What to check about working independently in France
Before you advertise widely, confirm your registration status. If you are a sole trader (micro-entrepreneur or similar structure), you must be registered with the appropriate French authority. The exact rules depend on your business structure, so check with your local business authority or accountant.
As an independent cleaner, you are responsible for your own insurance, tax registration, and compliance with employment law if you hire others. The requirements vary depending on whether you work alone, use sub-contractors, or employ staff. Verify the current rules with your local prefecture or a business advisor.
Payment through Stripe is secure and standard, but confirm that Stripe transfers suit your bank account and any tax reporting obligations you have in France.
What to write in the first hour
Focus on completing the essential parts of your profile quickly rather than making everything perfect from the start. You can update it later.
First, write a short summary of your service - one or two sentences saying what you clean and for whom. For example: 'Residential and office cleaning in [your region]. I offer regular weekly cleaning, spring cleans, and end-of-tenancy services.'
Then list your main services: residential cleaning, office cleaning, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, garden tidying, or whatever applies. For each service, add a brief description and your price.
If you do not have photos yet, add them as soon as you can. Take pictures of your best work with your phone. Even two or three images are better than none.
Add your contact details and service area - the towns or regions you cover. If you use online booking, connect it now. If you prefer quotes first, set that option instead.
Write in clear, simple French. Avoid jargon. Customers want to know what they get, what it costs, and how to reach you - in that order.
The marketplace and profile pages
Your Websta profile page is your own corner of the platform. It shows your details, services, photos, and lets customers book or message you directly. Think of it as your business card.
The Websta marketplace is where people browse and post tasks. Your profile is visible in marketplace search results when someone looks for cleaning in your area. If someone posts a task that matches your services, you can see it and make an offer.
The two work together: your profile attracts customers who search or browse, and the marketplace gives you a way to bid on specific jobs.
Getting paid and staying organized
When a customer pays for a booking or accepts your quote, the money goes to your Stripe account, which transfers it to your own bank account. You set the prices, so you control your earnings.
Keep records of all jobs, payments, and correspondence through Websta. This makes tax reporting simpler at the end of the year.
