Charleston is one of the metros where Zotex Media can run outbound lead generation for commercial cleaning companies. We contact facility decision-makers by email and phone, qualify the ones with a real need, and hand them to you walkthrough-ready. Every lead is exclusive to one cleaning company. How our commercial cleaning leads work is the same in every market; what changes is the facilities.

Such a great experience working with Zotex! Better results than any other lead provider we've ever worked with! This company has done wonders for our small janitorial company.
Skyline Building Care has been working with Zotex Media for over a year. Our ROI for their lead generation services is strong. I recommend Zotex Media and suggest you reach out to them to see what they can do for you!
Commercial facilities we track around Charleston
We keep our own database of commercial locations built from our scrapes and past outreach. Within 30 miles of downtown Charleston it currently holds 24,111 facilities. These are the businesses our callers and email campaigns work through for a Charleston client.
| Facility type | On file |
|---|---|
| Offices and professional buildings | 5,749 |
| Medical and dental | 5,430 |
| Schools, daycares and churches | 639 |

Counts are commercial locations in our outreach database, not an estimate of every business in the metro. They grow as we scrape new categories and shrink as we remove closed businesses and do-not-contact requests. Our Charleston coverage is newer than our large US markets, so this count understates the metro and grows every week as we scrape it out.
Areas a Charleston territory usually includes
A territory is a drivable radius or a zip list, sized to what your crews can actually staff. Around Charleston the facilities on file cluster in North Charleston, Mt Pleasant, Summerville, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek, Johns Island, Ladson, Hanahan. If you only serve part of the metro, we cut the territory to match and the price per lead does not change.
What walkthrough-ready means here
- Decision-maker. The contact confirmed they choose the cleaning vendor for that facility.
- Real need. Unhappy with the current vendor, a new or expanding space, a contract ending, or a service gap they named.
- Agreed next step. They asked for a quote or agreed to a walkthrough, and we tell you which.
Leads that fail any gate are not delivered, and a delivered lead that turns out to fail one is replaced or refunded. The full process is on the how it works page, and the difference between this and marketplace leads is covered in exclusive vs shared commercial cleaning leads.
From walkthrough to signed Charleston account
An account is a signed recurring customer, not a one-off clean, and that is what a walkthrough is for. In Charleston the path is the same one that works everywhere: take the walkthrough within a day or two of the lead landing, price it from production rates rather than a gut number, and send the proposal while the walkthrough is still fresh. Cleaning companies that hold their Charleston commercial cleaning accounts for years tend to win them on responsiveness, not on being the cheapest bid in the room.
Who this fits in Charleston
Janitorial and commercial cleaning companies billing around $500k a year or more, with someone who runs walkthroughs and gets proposals out within a day or two, and crews who can take on new recurring accounts in the next 30 days. It fits independents and franchise owners alike. It does not fit companies that cannot answer a lead the same day, or that are only looking for one-time jobs. If you want to sanity-check the numbers first, the commercial cleaning calculator turns square footage and frequency into hours and price.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Charleston territory available?
Yes. No Zotex client is working Charleston yet, so every walkthrough-ready lead there is new. Every lead goes to one cleaning company only; we never send the same building to two clients.
What does a walkthrough-ready lead in Charleston, SC include?
A named decision-maker at a commercial facility in your Charleston territory who confirmed they are responsible for cleaning, has a real need, and agreed to a quote or a walkthrough. You get the contact details, the facility, what they said they need, and the agreed next step.
How fast do leads start?
Outreach to Charleston facilities starts within 48 hours of onboarding. Most clients see the first walkthrough-ready leads inside the first two weeks. Volume depends on how many of the 24,111 facilities we track sit inside your territory and how many are in a buying window.
How much does a lead cost?
You pay per lead, with no setup fee and no contract. A lead that does not meet the three gates is replaced or refunded. The price is a flat $175 per walkthrough-ready lead, the same in every territory.
Can I buy commercial cleaning accounts in Charleston instead of leads?
Accounts and leads are different things. An account is a signed recurring customer; a walkthrough is the conversation that gets you one. Brokers and some franchises do sell Charleston janitorial accounts outright, usually for a multiple of monthly billing, and the risk is that the account churns or was never assignable in the first place. We hand you the lead ready for a walkthrough, you run it, and the relationship is yours from the start.
