a day to put it in motion

Kimberly Smith, a licensed nail technician, had a strong brand, fair prices and a booking site, but little online proof: no Google listing, one review and five portfolio photos, with four established salons within a quarter mile.

  • Profile and pricing review showed Gel-X was both her favorite and her most profitable service per hour.
  • Competitive landscape ranked 10 nearby salons by ratings, prices and threat level.
  • Action plans covered Google reviews, a loyalty and referral program, and social content she can make on her phone.

Client quote from Kimberly goes here (expected next week).
