Some feedback:

1) There's a lot of miscellaneous info on the front page, but none of the things that I really care about. The basic info I want to know: price, what areas you serve, and what times you're available. It would also be helpful if you had this information all in one place so I don't have to keep scrolling around or clicking links.

2) It's hard to pin down exactly why, but the visual design of the landing page seems rather inconsistent. The various graphic elements seem like they've been designed individually without regard to the look and feel of the site as a whole. A more specific issue is the "Book Now" bar in the first screen. I have no idea what the input field to the left of it is for, and when I type into it, the text is really faint. Also, because of point (1), I am far from ready to "Book Now" as the first action upon visiting your site.

P.S. On this page https://sweetlyclean.com/booknow/ there's a typo where "Your" should be "You're".

    Thank you - that makes sense. I've have an internal struggle over design vs function. I liked the clean look of mopp.com - but you are right they stick the price right up front. Are there any sites you think are well done around cleaning.. homejoy.com, mopp.com, maidsinblack.com is the business model we are going after.

Any feedback on SEO, the site, recommendations, call to actions etc? I've done a soft launch while i work on the local SEO - i.e. get on yelp, google plus etc. Looking for all and any feedback. This is my second iteration/rewrite of the website.. almost feel like I need another major tweak. I like the look, but I'm just the owner. I like everything i do.

Quick feedback:

The "book now" call to action button is overpowered by the photo of the girl. Also, I'm unclear what I'm supposed to put in the input box next to "book now".

I also noticed a few UI quirks: http://imgur.com/a/OyBUz

    Thank you! - yeah i see those.. what browser were you using? Going to make some updates - that is very unclear. Probably time to just get my own hands dirty and stop relying on outsourcing. Appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback.
