Plain answers
How Salon Ads Studio works
The whole thing, start to finish: what you do in ten minutes, what we build, what runs every week, and the four numbers you get each month.
Your part: about ten minutes, once
- Sign in with Google. One button. You don’t need a Google Ads account: we set one up, run it, and pay Google from the budget you choose, all on one bill from us.
- Answer two questions. If we sent you fifteen new clients next month, could you fit them in? If the answer’s no we won’t sell you ads, and we’ll say so. Then: what makes people pick you?
- Glance over your plan, and make your page yours. We work out who’s searching near you and draft your ad and your page. You change anything we got wrong with a tap, and you can set your page’s colours, photos, words and prices before you pay a penny.
That is everything. No tags to install, nothing to write, no settings pages.
Before you’ve paid a penny
We fix your Google listing, free, if you’d like us to. Missing services, no booking link, a description from 2019, hours that say you’re closed when you’re not. Connect your listing whenever suits you and we show you what’s wrong and put right everything we’re allowed to, with no card on file and nothing owed. You stay the owner and can cut us off in a click. It works on the days you’re not advertising, so it’s worth having either way, and your ads don’t need it.
Then, in about three minutes
- A page worth sending people to. Written and hosted by us. You get one whether or not you have a website — it’s the only way we can honestly count a call or an enquiry — and if you’ve got a site we link it from your page and count the taps through.
- One search campaign, split by service. A £25 fade and a £280 balayage are never bid alike.
- The blocked list. Courses, jobs, apprenticeships, hair models, tutorials, wholesale — five hundred and thirty-six searches that quietly eat salon budgets, removed before your first click.
You can watch it happen or close the app — it carries on without you, and we email you when you’re live.
Every week, without you
We move money towards whatever is filling chairs and cut whatever is not. You do not review it, approve it, or read about it. Hard rails we never cross: your budget is never exceeded, and you are never charged anything you did not choose.
Once a month, one email
Four numbers in plain English: calls, enquiries, what was spent with Google, and what each enquiry cost. Plus a sentence or two on what we changed and why, and exactly what Google charged, to the penny and apart from our fee. Nothing to log into.
Questions people ask
Do you take commission on bookings?
No. Never. You pay one fixed monthly fee by spend band (£15 to £149), and your ad budget comes to us on the same bill, with no markup on what Google charges. A client who found you through your own ad costs you nothing when she rebooks.
What happens if I cancel?
You cancel in a click, any month, and we don't ask why. Your ads run to the end of the month you've paid for, which isn't refunded, and the Google Ads account they ran in stays with us. Every fix we made to your Google listing stays on it, and your page stays up for three months.
Can you tell me which client came from which search?
No, and nobody honestly can for most salons. Fresha and Treatwell don't share booking data. We count what can be counted — calls, enquiries through your page, and taps through to your booking system — and we say so plainly.
Do I need a website?
No. We write and host a page for you either way — your services, your area, and a big button to call or book — because it's the only way we can honestly count a call or an enquiry. If you have a website we link it from your page and count who taps through. It stays up for three months if you leave.
