The Problem
A beauty salon in Egypt was struggling to get clients because they weren't showing up on Google Maps.
They were only getting 5 calls per month and had very few online interactions with potential customers (158 in a three months period). They weren’t listed high enough on Google for people to notice them.
Beauty Salon -Google Business Profile Case Study
This local beauty salon was barely getting noticed, missing out on tons of new clients every day. Here's how we helped them rank #2 on Google Maps in their area in 45 days - WITHOUT ads.
Location Adjustment
Situation:
Their GBP was targeting a smaller, less populated area, which limited visibility.
Change:
We updated their service location to a nearby larger city.
Why It Works:
The larger city had more people searching for beauty services, which by extension increases the salon's chances to be found by more potential clients.
Focus on Reviews
Situation:
They had very few reviews, which made it hard for new clients to trust the business.
Change:
We used a simple review collection strategy instructed the owner on how to use it and provided them with a review request template that was easy for customers to follow.
Why It Works:
Reviews are a HUGE trust factor. By working to increase number of reviews, the salon becomes a more credible one and inspires more people to book.
Keywords Optimization
Situation:
Their Google Business Profile (GBP) wasn’t ranking high on Google Maps, making it difficult for potential clients to find them.
Change:
We simply optimized their profile with relevant keywords and updated their business information to Google's liking to make help them rank higher.
Why It Works:
Appearing higher on Google Maps means more visibility, which naturally leads to more clients.
