Thats because we are talking why having an active, functional and well designed website with great SEO will greatly improve your websites Google search rankings. All resulting in growing you hairdressing business and attracting new team members. I’m sure none of you wouldn’t want to turn that down…Right?

To help us understand creating a successful hair salon website and more, I’m joined by digital marketing expert for the hair and beauty industry, Kate Woods, of Kor Digital and Salondipity.

Kate sure know her stuff when it comes to what makes a great hair salon website. Having such an expert on creating websites and social ads, I’m really keen for us to learn from Kate on what makes a site functional, understanding how SEO best works, who we should be talking to with our content and how to move our website up the Google rankings.
