What salon owners are searching for on Google & ChatGPT today (and why it matters)
Salon owners in Belgium often face the same challenges: a busy schedule, reducing no-shows, saving time, and running a professional business. No wonder they are turning to Google and even ChatGPT with their questions.
But which questions are actually searched for most often? And more importantly, why is this information crucial for your salon?
In this article, we collect the most common search queries from Belgian salon owners and provide practical explanations 💡, so you know right away what you can improve.
1. “How can I prevent no-shows at my salon?”
Empty appointments cost time and money. Many salon owners wonder how they can reduce no-shows.
What is often still unknown is that no-shows can largely be avoided by:
Option to require a advance payment upon booking.
Clear communication regarding cancellation policies
The right salon software can automate this process to a large extent, giving you more peace of mind and a better overview.
2. "What am I actually paying for salon software?"
A frequently asked question in Belgium: the costs.
It is important to look not only at the monthly price, but also at the value that the system delivers:
More efficient administration 🗂️
Fewer no-shows ⏰
Better customer follow-up 👥
Greater insight into performance and revenue 📊
The price may vary depending on the functionality and size of the salon. Transparency and a comprehensive system are essential in this regard.
3. “Am I losing customers through booking platforms?”
Many Belgian salon owners use external booking platforms, but wonder whether this causes them to lose customers.
What you should pay attention to:
Some platforms show your customers alternative salons that offer similar treatments or are located in your area.
Commissions may be charged per booking.
Less control over the customer experience and style of your salon
That is why more and more salons are opting for an independent booking system, completely in their own style and with all their customer data under their own management.
4. “Which salon software is right for my type of salon?”
Every salon is different. Hair salons, beauty salons, and nail salons have unique needs.
Salon owners are primarily looking for software that:
Links online appointments to a digital calendar
Integrates payments and cash register functions 💳
Customer management and marketing simplifies
Clear reports and dashboards offers 💹
It is important that the software grows with the salon, whether you work alone or manage a team. 🚀
5. “Can salon software really help my salon grow?”
More and more salon owners are wondering what concrete contribution software makes to growth.
Modern salon software does more than just manage appointments. It helps you to:
⚙️ Automate routine tasks
