A few quick questions

Let's look you up

First name

Email (required)

This is where your scan goes. Nowhere else.

Your salon's name (required)

Word for word, exactly as it appears on your Google listing or your sign. This is the name I search for, so the spelling matters. Not "hair salon" or "my studio", your actual business name.

Your town, and the province or state (required)

Please include the province, state or country. There are a dozen Richmonds and several Cambridges, and if I search the wrong one I'll show you salons from the other side of the world. Outside Canada and the US, add the country.

Your website

Leave this blank if you don't have one. That's genuinely useful to know, and it's more common than you'd think.

Instagram handle

How do clients find you right now? Google Instagram Word of mouth Walk-ins A mix Honestly, not sure

What's your biggest frustration with getting found online?

Say it however it comes out. This is the part that makes your scan personal.

I read every scan myself before it goes out. No spam, ever.

Something hiccuped on my end. Please try again in a moment, or email hello@hivebeautydesign.com.

I'm looking you up now.

Here's the honest part. I read every single scan myself before it goes out, so it will not be instant.

Give me a little while, and yours will land in your inbox, personally from me.

What actually happens

Three things, then an email from me

I ask AI about your town

More people are asking ChatGPT and Google's AI where to get their hair done than are scrolling a map. I ask it, and I check whether your name comes back.

I check what's carrying your name

Your website, if you have one. Whether it loads, whether it's secure, whether it's doing anything for you at all.

I write you back myself

Plain English, no jargon, and only things I actually confirmed. If I couldn't verify something, I don't say it.
