Edinburgh vs Glasgow

[sam86ni]

Does anyone know why Glasgow is falling short of window cleaning companies on google and yellow pages, yet it has more 2x businesses and 100k bigger population? These are quite substantial numbers as well. I have my theories, but just wondering what the professionals think.

Glasgow

Population: 598k

25301 businesses in total

Yellow Pages: 153 window cleaning companies

Google: 23 window cleaning companies (Poor reviews, except for one)

Edinburgh

Population: 495k

14104 businesses in total

Yellow Pages: 153 window cleaning companies

Google: 34 window cleaning companies (Decent amount of good company reviews)

Glasgow is a hole.

Last time I was there I got stabbed 3 times.

That may have something to do with it?

Yeah I read that you got stabbed there when you were 19.....

That is what I was thinking, it has a huge gang culture. I have seen the same thing in northern ireland, in the estate I lived in most of my youth, the paramilitaries ran the window cleaning services. On benefits and charging for a 5 pound clean, I am sure they pay their taxes as well...
