People searching for "dog groomer near me" or "cat grooming [suburb]" are actively booking. Local SEO ensures your salon appears when clients are ready to call — and it keeps working 24/7 without ongoing ad spend.
Appear in local search, maps and single-result listings so nearby pet owners discover you first.
Optimised pages, clear calls-to-action and visible reviews turn searches into bookings and repeat clients.
Organic rankings reduce dependency on paid ads — a sustainable long-term lead source for your salon.
Ensure your name, address and phone (NAP) match across web listings, add accurate opening hours, services (e.g. Full Groom, Bath & Tidy, Nail Trim), and upload current photos.
Update your homepage and service pages with phrases like "dog groomer [suburb]" and "cat grooming near me". Keep copy natural — focus on services + location.
Ask happy clients to leave a short review mentioning the pet name/service and suburb. Respond to every review with a personalised thank you.
Make your phone number prominent on mobile and add a "Book now" link that opens the phone dialer or booking widget.
Target a mix of high-intent local searches, service pages and longer informational queries to capture both booking-ready and research-stage visitors.
Tip: Target suburb names and nearby suburbs. For example, if you’re in Bondi, include "Bondi", "Bondi Beach", and neighbouring areas like "Tamarama" on service pages.
Make sure each page matches user intent and clearly answers what customers search for.
Create helpful content that answers common questions and showcases your expertise — it builds trust and ranks well.
Content tip: use local phrases naturally (e.g. "dog groomer in Richmond") and include internal links to related services and blogs to keep visitors exploring your site.
Reviews directly influence local rankings and booking decisions. Make it easy for clients to leave one.
Send a friendly follow-up text or email 24–48 hours after a groom while the experience is fresh. Include a direct Google review link.
Example message: "Thanks for visiting Paws & Co.! If Max enjoyed his groom, could you leave a quick review? It helps our small business a lot: [link]"
Acknowledge praise and address concerns publicly — this builds trust and can turn a negative into a positive.
Pro tip:
Use the pet’s name and service in your reply (e.g. "Thanks for the kind words about Bella’s grooming — we loved meeting her!").
Fast, reliable sites rank better and convert more. Focus on mobile speed and simple technical fixes to improve rankings quickly.
