Getting you found in Dover
You've built something great on your own. Now let's help more people in Dover discover it. Today is just a conversation: a few ideas, a few questions, and picking a direction together.
Let's start ↓Where the opportunity is
You already have the hard parts: great work, your own space, a booking system and photos. A few steps can help Google introduce you to more people nearby.
Google Maps in Dover
When someone searches "pedicure Dover Ohio," Google shows a map with three businesses first. Setting up your own Dover listing there is the fastest way to get noticed by new clients.
A "Beauty by Peyton" in New Middletown
There's a Google listing with your business name about 80 miles away, set up as a nail salon. If it's an old listing of yours, we can likely claim it and move it. If not, it's a name we need to work around.
Let your site tell your story
Your booking setup works well. Adding a short welcome, a bit about you, and your photos front and center, along with your pedicure and waxing services, gives Google more to show people searching nearby.
One name everywhere
Your business appears as "Peyton Olson," "Beautyy by Peyton" and "beautyy_peyton." Google rewards businesses whose name, address and phone match everywhere, so picking one is a quick, free boost.
How people find a salon
Most new clients never see a website first. They decide from the map.
Your neighbors on the map
These Dover businesses appear on the map for salon, nail and waxing searches. Several are independent stylists who branched out on their own, just like you.

Where I'd start
Nothing here is decided. Your answers in the next section will shape the order and the scope.
Set up your Google listing
Either claim and move the New Middletown listing (if it's yours) or create a fresh one at your Dover office. Add your services, prices, hours, booking link and your photos.
Refresh your website
A home page that introduces you, shows off your photos and lets Dover know everything you offer. Your GlossGenius booking stays exactly as it is.
Grow your reviews
An easy way to invite happy clients to leave a Google review after their appointment. Reviews are one of the biggest things that help people find you.
In the same foxhole
Every so often I find a business where I can see myself in the same foxhole, side by side, working toward the same goal. Family makes that an easy call. Some of my clients invest quite a bit each month as they scale, but you don't need to start there. We start simple, grow together, and adjust as you do.
Set a starting point
We note roughly how many clients you see today, so we can both see the growth clearly.
Start small
A small monthly retainer to cover the first steps: your Google listing, a website refresh and a review routine.
Grow together
As new clients come in, we check in and decide what's next. If it makes sense, we can shift toward a profit-share model, so I only do well when you do.
Questions for you
Answer whatever you can. Skip anything you're unsure about and we'll cover it on the call.
Next steps
A short proposal
Based on your answers, a clear plan with scope, timing and price.
Confirm the listing
Let me know if the New Middletown listing or its phone number was ever yours.
Pick favorite photos
Choose the shots you're proudest of. They'll shine on both the website and Google.
