Often time’s businesses reach out to professionals to help them with SEO because it’s a very complicated thing to tackle. We know that when your brand is strong, clients will be flocking your way and to develop a strong brand, one of the components is having a strong online game. If hiring a professional to get top-notch results isn’t quite in your budget, there are a few things you can do to start boosting your ranks right away.

BE ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

You may need to hire someone onto your team that can spend dedicated time posting and interacting on these various platforms. Aside from ranking higher with the search engines, actively and frequently engaging on your social media platforms and posting interesting content will gain you visibility because people will be more likely to share your content, therefore getting your salon’s name in front of more people.

ARE YOU ON SITES LIKE YELP AND TRIPADVISOR?

So now you are active on various social media platforms and your business is showing up slightly higher in search engine ranks but now it’s time to up your game. When people are looking to give a business their hard earned money, they often take a moment to look online at various review websites to see how they are rated and to read reviews from others who have used them before. If you are providing excellent customer service and have happy clients, having a presence on a review site shouldn’t worry you at all. Make sure your business appears on websites like Yelp so people can see what your happy clients have to say. Have you ever noticed that when you do a search for a business, you frequently see their ratings on review sites such as TripAdvisor and Yelp before you even get to their actual website in the search engine results? Having your business appear on those websites will only increase your odds of moving up in the ranks.

You probably spent a lot of money developing a visually appealing website and I’m sure it’s beautiful, but is it working for you? Is it bringing in more clients and money even while you sleep? Utilize your website to its full advantage by using key words and phrases that are going to boost your rankings when your business is searched. Make sure you research and find key words that people use when they search for a business such as yours. Once you compile that list, plug those words into your website, social media posts, etc. The more you use them, the better your chance will be at being one of the top results.
