This client came to TDM Marketing in December with no Google Business Profile. After building and managing their profile from the ground up, results over the following months were substantial: 76,909 Google Maps actions (+88.01%), 45,177 Google Search actions (+137.86%), and 122K total actions (+101.02%). Website visits grew by 84.39%, phone calls increased by 68.82%, and driving directions requests rose by 80.53%. The outcome speaks for itself: all stylists are now fully booked, and the client has shifted focus to promoting additional services beyond appointments.
