      <description>&lt;P&gt;I could show you stuff that will blow your mind. &amp;nbsp;Could spend a week going over everything. &amp;nbsp;The first thing would be to get your brand and website up and going. &amp;nbsp;Your website allows you to tell your story and is the gateway for your clients. &amp;nbsp;Sign up for Square for Appointments to make it stupid simple for your customers to book with you. &amp;nbsp; Square for appointments will also allow you a better work-life balance in that you can block out times. &amp;nbsp; Visit our website &lt;A href="http://www.keva.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.keva.com &lt;/A&gt;as an example. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When thinking of your website, think about your BRAND and your STORY. &amp;nbsp;Is your company a Noun, a Verb, or both? &amp;nbsp;What are you about? &amp;nbsp;What is your proprietary competitive advantage? &amp;nbsp;Tell that store on your website.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once your website is up and going, do the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sign up for Square Marketing&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sign up for Square Loyalty&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sign up for Text Messaging Marketing&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Next, start encouraging your clients to sign up for your email and text marketing list. &amp;nbsp;It will take time to build your list; however, you will be ahead of the curve. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Enable Tracking Tools&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sign up for the tracking tools already available for your Square website. &amp;nbsp;This allows you to test engagement, track marketing results, and change course if needed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Buy up all of your competitor names:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Consider using Google Ads (ads.google.com) and purchase all of your main competitor names. &amp;nbsp;This will funnel traffic from them to you and excellerate your grown. &amp;nbsp;I've attached a screenshot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That's a start for now. &amp;nbsp;Lot's more you can do.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Have you tried Google Business?&amp;nbsp; There is personalized guidance available for those who choose to use this advertising tool though there is either a monthly or yearly price.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, spoke with Google Merchant Center Support. They helped me with changes to local listings in Merchant and have a list of items that I should follow up with Square to address.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/394018"&gt;@Sheli&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Growing awareness comes down to clarity and consistency.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Looking at your site, I’d recommend focusing on one main call-to-action. Right now you’ve got “Shop Products” front and center (eCommerce), but the secondary button says “Book Now.” Since I don’t see hours, address, or service details, I’d ask: &lt;STRONG&gt;what’s making you more money right now, services or products?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Double down on the winner first, then expand into the other.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you’re a local service provider, &lt;STRONG&gt;Google Business Profile is non-negotiable.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Set it up if you haven’t already, then:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;Collect as many client reviews as possible&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;Post 3x/week (before/after shots, in-progress photos, quick updates)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keep your hours and info up-to-date&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;That way, when people search for “hair near me,” you’ll actually show up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For inspiration, here are two salons we’ve built Square sites for services:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A class="" href="https://www.earlybirdbarbershop.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Early Bird Barbershop&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A class="" href="https://www.mynestsalon.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;The Nest Salon&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope that helps! &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Don’t sleep on Google My Business either. A lot of people are literally just typing “nails near me” or “best lash extensions” into Google, and if your GMB profile isn’t updated, you’re missing out. Post photos, keep your hours correct, and write a clear service list with the words people actually search for. It’s free and it’s one of the easiest ways to show up in that little map section at the top of search.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/137238"&gt;@lilisalazar&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;touched on GMB very well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Honestly, combining both is where the magic happens. Square keeps your day-to-day running smooth and your clients happy, while GMB helps new people find you. When they can book right after finding you on Google, it’s almost effortless growth.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We had Neon Digital Media help us with our local seo in Las Vegas to help with our Google My Business optimization&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;+1 to this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had a learning moment recently, where my event name is the thing I focus on most, as on socials it gets the most presence. But for google, the venue gets the views. So i need to be careful in how I split my energy&lt;/P&gt;</description>
