WHAT TO BUILD

What a high-converting salon website needs

Your website should do three things: look professional, make booking effortless, and rank in local searches. When those three align, your salon gets more first-time clients and more repeat bookings.

Clear services & pricing

List your services, durations and starting prices so clients know what to expect before they call or book.

Online booking & calendar

Integrate (or link) to a booking system to let clients reserve times 24/7 — fewer calls, more bookings.

Local SEO & contact info

Prominent phone, address and opening hours plus local SEO help your salon appear to people searching "salon near me".

LOCAL SEO

SEO checklist for salon owners

Practical actions you can take now to make sure your salon appears for local searches like "hair salon near me" or "best colourist in [suburb]".

On-page SEO

  • Use your main service + suburb in H1 and meta title (e.g., "Best Hair Salon in Richmond — Colour & Cuts").
  • Create a page per service with clear H2s, price and duration.
  • Add descriptive ALT text to every image (e.g., "balayage hair colour before after Richmond").

Local SEO & listings

  • Claim and optimise your Google Business Profile — add photos, services, and accurate hours.
  • Use consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across website and directories.
  • Collect reviews and respond — they significantly improve local ranking and conversion.

Content & keywords

  • Write service pages that answer clients’ common questions (pricing, time, what to expect).
  • Create a blog or tips section on hair-care routines, styling at home, and seasonal offers.
  • Target long-tail keywords like "bridal hair stylist [suburb]" for higher intent searches.

Technical SEO

  • Fast page speed and compressed images for mobile users.
  • Structured data (LocalBusiness, Service) so search engines show rich snippets.
  • Secure site (HTTPS) and reliable hosting — both included with Congero's plan.

SEO included automatically

When Congero builds your site our AI auto-generates meta tags, schema and local SEO signals so you start ranking faster.
