If you own a salon a Messina
The digital gap is an opportunity: if, in your province, 44% of salons cannot be reached online, those who act first capture the demand others miss. Three things matter straight away:
- A responsive website that loads quickly on mobile, with clearly visible prices and booking options.
- A well-maintained Google Business Profile: opening hours, photos, reviews with replies.
- A way to respond to enquiries immediately: someone who messages three salons books with the first to reply.
You will find them explained step by step in the marketing guide for beauty salons, in the guide on how to fill your appointment book and in the guide on WhatsApp and AI.
