Boost Your Google Ranking + Get Booked Through The Hair & Beauty Directory
Build a business that gets found, trusted, and booked.
A results-focused programme designed by an award-winning salon owner and educator to help you grow with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
“I kept seeing the same thing — amazing businesses with no visibility.”
While building The Hair & Beauty Directory and manually adding new member profiles, I saw it over and over again…
Brilliant salon owners. Skilled therapists. Passionate professionals.
But almost no online presence.
Their Google profiles were either missing, half-filled, or pointing to a dead link.
Their websites were slow, confusing, or invisible to search engines.
And yet they were telling me the same thing at every event, in every conversation:
“I’m not getting enough bookings.”
“I don’t know what else to try.”
“I hate social media but I don’t know how else to get seen.”
These weren’t lazy business owners. They were overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck doing everything themselves — except the one thing Google actually needed to show them to potential clients.
The Problem?
You can be the best in town but if Google can’t see you, neither can your clients.
And no one’s coming if no one knows you exist.
The Solution Isn’t Expensive. Or Complicated. But It Is Essential.
What I teach in the SEO courses and the Business Bootcamp isn’t techy or trendy.
It’s simple, practical, and absolutely vital if you want to survive — let alone thrive — in this industry:
-
How to structure your Google Business Profile so you show up in Maps and search
-
How to build a searchable website or Directory profile that actually gets clicked
-
How to stop relying on social media and instead build long-term local visibility
When you combine your Directory listing with these SEO skills, you’re not just hoping to be seen
you’re setting yourself up to rank, grow, and stay booked consistently.
And the best part?
You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You just need to learn the language Google understands.
About me
Helen Ward
I’ve been in the hair and beauty industry for over 28 years.
I’ve owned a successful salon for 14 of those, picked up over 30 industry awards, and built two platforms that now rank at the top of Google.
I’ve taught in classrooms, judged national awards, mentored professionals, and seen every side of this industry the inspiring and the frustrating.
But most importantly, I’ve been where you are.
Trying to juggle treatments, manage a team, post on socials, keep clients happy, and still somehow find the time to move things forward.
Last year, I hit a difficult patch and it made me realise, more than ever, how crucial it is to truly know your numbers, your goals, and where your time is going.
Because when things get tough, guesswork won’t save you data and clarity will.
That’s why I created this Bootcamp.
Not to overwhelm you with trends or theories, but to give you real, focused support to move forward with confidence.
The Visibility System That Works
Meet Your Three Courses (Google, SEO + Business Blueprint)
“I’ve spoken to hundreds of salon owners and most of them were amazing… but invisible.”
While building The Hair & Beauty Directory, I was manually uploading profiles and checking online visibility and what I found shocked me.
So many brilliant professionals were doing everything right in person…
But online? They barely existed.
Their Google profiles were missing or half-built.
Their websites weren’t showing up for local searches.
They were relying on Instagram — but still getting no bookings.
And most didn’t know it could be fixed without spending thousands.
I realised: the problem isn’t talent or effort, it’s strategy.
And it’s time to change that.
What you need to know!
If Google can’t see you, your clients never will, no matter how good you are.
visibility isn’t luck.
It’s a system. And it’s easier than you think.
