The Starting Point
A local esthetician opening a new business was not sure where to start with creating an online presence to bring in new customers.
No website. No Google presence. No online booking. They were completely invisible to the thousands of potential customers searching for their services every month. Revenue came only from referrals and walk-ins — which meant unpredictable, limited growth.
Reserach and Discovery Plan
The Problem Became Simple
This business had amazing service, but customers couldn't find them online.
The Real Issue
When customers searched on Google, they found competitors instead. Without a website or online booking, most potential customers just moved on.
Nobody Could Find Them Online
When people searched for their services on Google, they didn't show up. Competitors with websites were getting all the calls.
Booking Was Too Complicated
Customers had to call or text to book an appointment. Most people want to book instantly online — if they can't, they go somewhere else.
No Way to Build Trust
No photos, no reviews, no information online. New customers didn't know if they could trust them.
Competitors Looked More Professional
Other businesses had websites, online reviews, and modern booking systems. They looked more established and trustworthy.
Relying Only on Referrals
100% of their customers came from word-of-mouth or walk-ins. They had no control over their growth.
Limited Time and Money
They needed something simple and affordable, not a complicated $10,000 website that takes months to build.
Bottom Line
They weren't losing customers because of bad service. They were losing customers because people couldn't find them, trust them, or easily book with them online. The solution? Get them visible on Google, build trust with a professional website, and make booking simple.
