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 Egyptian 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.
What We Did
We made three key changes to their GBP:
Location Adjustment
Old Situation: Their GBP targeted a smaller, less populated area, limiting their visibility.
Change: We updated their service area to a nearby, more populated city.
Why It Works: A larger city means more people searching for beauty services, which increased the chances for the salon to be discovered by potential clients.
Focus on Reviews
Old 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
Old Situation: Their Google Business Profile (GBP) wasn’t ranking high on Google Maps, making it difficult for potential clients to find them.
Change: We optimized their profile with relevant keywords and updated their business information to help them rank higher.
Why It Works: Appearing higher on Google Maps means more visibility, which naturally leads to more clients.

Results
The salon saw noticeable results within 45 days. Here's what happened:
Before:
5 calls per month in June.
From April to June, they had 158 interactions (average of 53 interactions per month).
The salon had 6 reviews and wasn't showing up on Google Maps in the area.
After:
In August, their monthly calls increased to 36 —7x more than June. They received 24 calls in the first 14 days, so by the end of July, they had 24 calls in total (a 4x monthly increase).
In August, they had 236 interactions in just one month—much more engagement in a shorter time frame.
The salon moved up to #2 in their area (Hadayek Al Ahram) on Google Maps with double the reviews, making it much easier for potential clients to find them and book.
