# Salon Ads Studio > Google Ads for salons and barbers, set up in ten minutes. We put hair salons, barbershops and chair renters in front of local people who are ready to book, and run the whole thing for them. Salon Ads Studio (salonadsstudio.com) builds and runs Google Ads for UK hair salons, barbershops and chair renters. Setup takes about ten minutes: one Google sign-in covers the ads account and the Business Profile. We tidy the free Google listing, build (and host) a landing page if the salon has no website, build one search campaign split by service, block the time-wasting searches (courses, jobs, models, tutorials), and improve the account weekly. Reporting is one plain-English email a month: calls, enquiries, spend, cost per enquiry. Pricing is a fixed monthly fee by ad-spend band, from £15 to £149 per month, with no commission on bookings — the ad spend itself goes straight to Google. Honesty notes: closed-loop booking attribution is not available for most of this market (Fresha and Treatwell do not share booking data), so we count calls, enquiries and booking-link clicks, and say so; we turn away budgets too small to work. ## Core pages - [Home](https://salonadsstudio.com/): What Salon Ads Studio is: Google Ads for salons and barbers, set up in ten minutes, run for you, from £15/month with no commission on bookings. - [How we compare](https://salonadsstudio.com/alternatives/): Honest comparison against Google Smart Campaigns, Treatwell and other ways salons get new clients. - [Plain answers](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/): How it works, what it costs, what we can honestly count, and what happens when you cancel. - [Blog](https://salonadsstudio.com/blog/): Plain guides on getting new clients for hair salons, barbershops and chair renters. ## Free tools - [Salon Ads Budget Calculator](https://salonadsstudio.com/tools/salon-ads-budget-calculator/): Pick your services and a monthly budget; see estimated local searches, enquiries and cost per enquiry. ## Plain answers (docs) - [Plain answers hub](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/): Start here. - [How it works](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/how-it-works/) ([markdown](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/how-it-works.md)): 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. - [The price, plainly](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/the-price-plainly/) ([markdown](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/the-price-plainly.md)): One fixed monthly fee, set by what you spend with Google. £15 to £149 a month, no commission on bookings, no setup fee, and we say no to budgets that are too small to work. - [What we can count](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/what-we-count/) ([markdown](https://salonadsstudio.com/docs/what-we-count.md)): Calls, enquiries and booking-link taps we can count.
