#Google Foundation

Most salon owners think Google is the same as Google Maps. It doesn’t. There are three places your salon can appear on Google, and if you’re only focusing on one, you’re leaving bookings on the table. Here’s how it actually works: 1. Google Ads The top sponsored positions. This is paid visibility, and it puts you in front of clients ready to book. 2. The Map Pack (Google Business Profile) This is proximity-based. It shows local clients salons near them when they search “hair salon near me.” 3. SEO (Organic Rankings) This is your website appearing naturally in search results. And yes, you can engineer your website to tell Google you want to rank there. Most salon owners sit in the mindset of: “If I optimise my Google Business Profile, I’m sorted.” You’re not. Google is an ecosystem, not a listing. And the salons that dominate? They understand all three layers. #SalonOwners #GoogleMarketing #SEOForSalons

Your Google Business Profile isn’t just a listing, it’s your secret social platform. Post specials, before-and-afters, spare gaps, or any updates just like you do on Instagram or Facebook. Why it works: •Google sees you as active and credible •Your profile ranks higher than competitors who never touch theirs •Ideal clients see fresh content and get more confident booking Consistency here isn’t optional, it’s what pushes your business ahead in search results and in bookings. Treat your Google Business Profile like a mini social media hub, it’s free and powerful. #SalonOwners #GoogleBusinessProfile #SalonMarketing

Salon owners: if you’re not getting bookings, it’s not because you’re bad at what you do. It’s because clients can’t find you. When people search on Google for beauty salon near me, facial in [your area], nail salon [your town] or lash extensions near me, they usually choose from the businesses they can find quickly and trust. If your Google Business Profile is not properly optimised, you are missing out on local clients, Google Maps visibility, and direct bookings. Your salon needs the right business category, clear services, strong photos, recent Google reviews, and an easy booking link. Instagram helps people discover you. Google helps ready-to-book clients find you. If you want more direct bookings and more local visibility, start with your Google Business Profile. Comment “MAPS”

Most salon owners have no idea how many people visit their website each month. Or where they rank on Google. Or whether their competitors are quietly dominating the search results that their potential clients are looking at right now. That’s exactly what this week’s episode is about. I sat down with Phil Evans from Salon Guru, and we talked through what AI is actually doing to Google search, what it means for your salon, and the simple stuff you can start doing today. So go listen, and do Phil’s homework at the end of the episode. Then come back and tell me what you found. I’d love to know! 👇 New episode out now, link in bio to Listen 🎙 #SalonMarketing #SalonBusiness #SalonOwner #HairSalon #SalonSEO

Many salon owners rely on marketplace apps for bookings. But those platforms can take 30–35% commission from every treatment. There’s another way. Clients searching “beauty salon near me” on Google are ready to book. If your Google profile is optimised, those clients can find you directly — without paying commission. I created a simple guide to help salon owners improve their Google Maps visibility and get more direct bookings. If you’d like the guide, comment “MAPS” and I’ll send it to you. #salonowners #salonmarketing #beautybusiness #beautysalonuk #salonbusinessowner

From Gaps to Growth: How Glamour Empire 2.5x’d Their Revenue in 3 Months This is what happens when salons stop hoping and start getting found. Lisa didn’t work harder. She worked smarter. Full books.

You don’t have a lead problem. You have a system problem. If clients are having an amazing experience in your salon… but walking out the door without rebooking… that’s not smart business. You can spend thousands on Google. You can pour money into ads. You can generate new enquiries every week. But if they’re slipping out the back door? You’re leaking revenue. Retention is strategy. Your booking rate should be high. Your rebooking process should be seamless. And yes, use AI where necessary. Because here’s the truth: If you’re bringing in new clients but not locking in the next appointment, you’re constantly chasing instead of compounding. Your online systems and your in-salon systems need to work together. The experience on your website should match the experience in your chair. Easy. Convenient. Friction-free. You don’t need more leads. You need better systems that do the booking for you. #SalonOwners #SalonGrowth #BookedOutSalon
