Google Ads for salons and barbershops

Turn Google searches into bookings.

I'm Braian Basanta, based in Amsterdam. I set up and run Google Ads for salons, barbers and clinics that take bookings online. People nearby who search for what you do book straight into your calendar, through your own link, with no marketplace fee.

€500a month, plus your ad budget
30bookings in 90 days, or I work free
3months, then month to month
15 minutes · No obligation · See how many people near you search for what you do

Example: someone nearby searches for “hairdressers near me”, sees your ad at the top of Google and books straight into your calendar.

Where your next clients come from

Instagram shows your work. Google is where they book.

Search “hairdressers” plus your town and the first page is ads, the map and marketplace lists from Treatwell, Booksy and Fresha. Your own site often comes after all of them.

Instagram

Great for showing off. Not for filling Tuesday.

People scrolling are admiring your work, not booking a cut right now. It keeps you front of mind, but rarely fills the gaps in your calendar.

Booking marketplaces

New clients, with a fee on their first visit.

They bring people in, but list you next to every salon nearby and often take a fee on each new client they send you.

Google Ads

First in line when they search.

Your ad shows when someone nearby searches for exactly what you do. They book through your own link, so there's no marketplace fee.

Proof

Two businesses, one result: about €20 of ad spend per new booking.

The guarantee assumes €50 of ad spend per new booking. These two, both accounts I run in Amsterdam, came in at less than half of that.

Bookings counted from Google Ads and each business's own booking system. The barbershop's figures are first visits only.
After the first booking

A new client is worth more than one visit. You'll see how much.

Google Ads stops counting at the first booking. I don't. Every client who first booked through one of your ads is followed in your booking system, month after month, so you judge the ads on what those clients are really worth, not on one appointment.

What's included

Everything I do for €500 a month.

No hour packs, nothing to unlock later: the full service from day one. The only other cost is your ad budget, which goes straight to Google on your own card.

01

Research for your area

What people nearby actually type before they book, like “skin fade near me” or “balayage” plus your town, and which searches only burn money.

02

Campaigns built around your services

One for each service that matters, set to your opening hours and the radius your clients really come from.

03

Ads written for you

Headlines, prices, reviews and a “Book now” that goes to your own booking link, never a marketplace page.

04

Bookings tracked, not clicks

Google Ads is linked to your booking confirmation, so you see exactly what each new booking costs.

05

Watched closely

Checks two to three times a week in month one, then daily automatic alerts, so nothing burns money for days.

06

A report every two weeks

One page, no jargon: new bookings, cost per booking, which ad clients came back and what I'm doing next.

The guarantee

30 new bookings in 90 days. Or I keep working for free.

You commit to three months. I commit to 30 new bookings. If the ads haven't brought them into your calendar by then, I keep running them without charging my fee, for up to three more months, until they have. After that, it's month to month. Your ad budget keeps going to Google as normal.

  1. 1Ad budget of at least €500 a month
  2. 2Access to your accounts within 48 hours
  3. 3Free slots in your calendar to fill
  4. 4Ads left running, with no pausing
The target grows with your budget: three months of ad spend ÷ €50. At €500 a month, that's 30 bookings.What counts: a booking made through your booking link by someone who clicked one of your ads, recorded by Google Ads on your booking confirmation. You see the same number in your own account.Full guarantee terms
Pricing

One monthly fee. Two optional extras.

Google Ads managementThe core
€500/month
+ your ad budget, paid straight to Google (minimum €500 a month). Three months to start, then month to month.
Includes the guarantee: 30 new bookings in 90 days, or I keep working for free.
Quick mathsMy fee plus the minimum ad budget is €1,000 a month, €3,000 over three months. The guarantee is 30 new bookings: at around €50 a visit, that's €1,500. If each of those clients comes back just once, that's another €1,500, and the €3,000 is covered. Every visit after that is money on top. On the call we run it with your prices and how often your clients rebook. After that, your reports show how many really come back.

Website €1,800 + a year of hosting and maintenance €600, free. The profile tune-up is included too. €50/month from month 13.

Google only shows one ad per website at the top of the page. If a salon near you also sends its ads to the same booking platform on the same searches, only one of you can show there. A site of your own always gets its own spot. Built on a template, with one round of changes, 50% to start and 50% at launch.

No website yet? You can start without one. Your ads go straight to your online booking link, and we look at a site later, with real numbers.

All prices exclude VAT.

Who it's for

Let's be honest: it's not for every salon.

A good fit if…

  • You take bookings online, on Fresha, Treatwell, Booksy, Phorest or another system where bookings can be tracked.
  • You have free slots you'd like filled, especially on quieter days.
  • Your reviews are strong, so people who find you tend to book you.
  • You can put at least €500 a month into ads, on top of my fee.

Not a fit if…

  • You're fully booked weeks ahead. Ads can't fill slots you don't have.
  • You'd rather not spend anything on ads.
  • You'll want to pause the ads every other week.

I'll email you a free search check within a week: how many people near you search for what you do, who shows up, and the three things I'd change first.

FAQ

Questions salon owners ask.

Something else? Message me on WhatsApp, or just reply if you got an email from me, and you'll get an answer from me, not a bot.

No, and that's a good thing. The €500 is my management fee. Your ad budget goes straight to Google on your own card: it never passes through me, you see every charge in your account and you set the daily cap.

They're searching. Are they finding you?

Fifteen minutes, no obligation. You'll know how many people search for what you do nearby, and what it would take to get them booked.
