Why salons lose to chains in search

Three things the salon down the road is doing that you are not.

01

Service-led pages

"Balayage Manchester" and "men's cut Manchester" are different searches with different intent and different competition. Sites with one /services page rank for neither. Sites with a page per service rank for both.

02

GBP photo volume

Google's own data: GBPs with 100+ photos get 520 percent more calls than the average. Most salons sit at 15 to 30 photos, half of them stock. A weekly photo cadence beats a one-off photoshoot.

03

Review velocity

Reviews compound. Two new reviews a week beats twenty in one month. The Map Pack top-3 is held by salons doing 3+ Google reviews per week, not the ones with the most all-time reviews. Active review-generation system month one.
