Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my salon need online booking on the website?
83% of salon clients prefer booking online. If your site requires calling or messaging to book, you're losing clients to competitors with instant booking. Adding a booking widget can increase appointments by 26%.
How do I make my salon portfolio load faster?
Compress images to WebP format, use lazy loading so images load as visitors scroll, and serve appropriately sized images for mobile vs desktop. Our audit measures your current speed and identifies the biggest bottlenecks.
What schema markup should a salon add?
Use BeautySalon or HealthAndBeautyBusiness schema with your name, address, hours, services, and price range. Add AggregateRating for reviews and ImageObject for your portfolio work.
How do I get more Google reviews for my salon?
Add a "Leave a Review" link on your website, send post-appointment review requests, and display existing reviews on your site with structured data. Our audit checks your current review integration.
