1. Get Your Business Listed in Free Directories
Add your beauty business to the many free internet beauty directories including
www.hairdressersandsalons.co.uk, www.heathandbeautylistings.org, www.beautyfinder.co.uk etc.
Many of these websites are optimised to appear in the local search results in Google, Bing and Yahoo, & are a great, free way to get your business publicised.

2. Create a Website For Your Salon / Mobile Beauty Business
Whether you decide to go for a basic, or more advanced website, this is a great way to generate extra customer enquiries.
A website can cost just a few pounds a month to run, once the initial set up costs have been paid. Your website should contain at the very minimum - Your salon name, address, tel number & email address, a description of the beauty treatments you offer & your salon opening times.
Ideally you should include a 'Contact Us' page, a map showing the location of your salon or the area you cover for a mobile beauty business. A more advanced beauty website should include latest offers, news, blog feed etc.

3. Write About Your Beauty Business / Salon
Write about your beauty salon & submit posts to beauty blogs & local discussion groups. Write about anything from your latest beauty offers, new beauty treatments, new team members, your salon expansion plans etc.

4. Claim Your Google Places Page
People searching for local beauty salons are almost always presented with 'Google Place' search results at the top of page 1 of Google. Claiming your free Google Place page you will ensure your business is mentioned in local searches. Read more at http://www.google.com/places/
