Review Generation · Salons
A Google review count that climbs every month, automatically.
The reality
Patients evaluating a practice read every recent review before booking. A practice with steady fresh reviews looks active, cared-for, and credible. A practice with the same 12 reviews from years ago looks dormant. The system keeps the review flow steady and the rating high.
What we fix
The average salon client visits 4-6 times per year and spends $800-$2,400 annually. A loyal client stays 3-5 years — that's $4,000-$12,000 in lifetime value. Losing even 3 potential clients a month to a competitor with better online booking costs you $12,000-$36,000/year.
No online booking — just a phone number
70% of salon appointments are booked outside business hours. If your website's only option is 'call us,' you're losing every client who wants to book at 10pm while scrolling Instagram.
A website that doesn't match your vibe
Your salon has an aesthetic. Your website looks like a free Wix template. Clients choose salons that look as good online as they feel in person. A generic site sends them to the salon that got this right.
No portfolio or stylist showcases
Clients want to see your work before they book — color transformations, cuts, styles. If your portfolio lives only on Instagram and your website is a dead end, you're making them work too hard.
Competitors dominate local search
When someone searches 'hair salon near me,' the salons with optimized websites and strong reviews show up first. Without local SEO, your salon is invisible to everyone who isn't already a client.
What you get
When a job closes, a review request goes out the same day, at the moment the customer is most likely to leave a glowing review.
Customers who had a great experience get routed to public Google reviews. Customers with concerns get routed to you privately first.
Requests via SMS and email with the right tone for each. The customer picks the channel; the system handles the ask.
New reviews land in your dashboard. Negative ones page you immediately so you can respond before they become a problem.
