About the client

The client reached out in April, looking to optimize their Google My Business (GMB) profile for a newly opened beauty salon in Detroit, USA. Since the salon had just launched, the main goal was to boost its visibility.

The first step our ROI-focused digital marketing agency took was to record the current GMB stats. This way, we could accurately track the impact of our optimization efforts.

In May, profile views jumped 23x — mainly due to the salon’s grand opening event, not just GMB optimization. So, May’s numbers aren’t the best indicator of organic results.

However, looking at June (from the 1st to the 17th, with projections for the full month), we saw more stable, reliable data since the event buzz had passed.

Results

Overall, profile visibility increased by more than 6x, and engagement (profile actions) grew 2.6x
