Turn practical cleaning services into a profitable business

Looking for a business opportunity with strong demand and proven systems? The Brisbane Franchising Expo is the place to explore cleaning and service-based franchises that are thriving across Australia.

Cleaning and maintenance services continue to grow as essential businesses, offering franchise partners the chance to build a reliable, scalable operation supported by established brands, training and operational systems.

At this year’s Expo, you’ll have the opportunity to meet brands including CMBM,

It’s Bin Cleaned, Magic Hand Car Wash and Perfect Car Wash - all offering franchise models designed to help business owners launch and grow with confidence.

From commercial cleaning and waste management services to professional car wash operations, these businesses operate across residential, commercial and mobile service sectors, providing practical pathways into business ownership.

If you’re looking for a hands-on business with consistent demand and strong growth potential, this is your chance to speak directly with the teams behind these brands and discover how cleaning and service franchising could work for you.

Stay ahead in the digital age: AI and marketing for franchise success

We’re pleased to welcome Matthew Lawson, Global Head of Sales at Online Marketing Gurus, to the free seminar stage at the Franchising Expo in Brisbane.

With extensive experience in digital strategy and marketing performance, Matthew will explore one of the biggest shifts currently shaping business growth: how AI is transforming the way customers discover brands online.

In this insightful session, “AI and Digital Marketing for Franchisees,” Matthew will unpack how AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT and Google’s evolving search experience are changing the digital landscape - and what franchisors and franchisees need to understand to remain visible and competitive.

Attendees will gain practical insights into Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), the future of online discovery, and the digital marketing strategies businesses should be adapting as search behaviour continues to evolve.

If you want to stay ahead of the curve and understand how AI is shaping the future of marketing, this is a session you won’t want to miss.

Catch Matthew on stage at 3:45pm both Saturday and Sunday.
