Why your Google listing matters for salons and barbershops
Your Google listing is often the first and only thing people see before they call, visit or book.
Booking starts on the listing
Clients often tap call or the website link straight from Google. If your booking link is broken or points to an old system, the appointment goes somewhere else.
Hours that match your chair schedule
Late nights, closed Mondays and holiday hours change often in salons. If Google isn't updated, walk-ins show up to a dark shop.
Photos sell the cut
People want to see your work and your space. A listing with few or old photos gives them little reason to pick you.
Reviews and replies build trust
A thoughtful reply to an unhappy client shows new clients how you treat people. Review Guard drafts replies and helps you report reviews that may break Google's rules.
What the free audit looks at: reviews, Google Maps and hours
The free check runs every check below and shows your top 3 issues. The full list with step-by-step fixes is in the paid Fix Pack or Profile Watch.
Listing basics
Whether Google shows you as open or closed, and whether your phone number, website link, photos (fewer than 10 is flagged) and business category are there.
Hours
Whether regular hours are set, whether special hours are set for upcoming holidays, and, if you enter your real hours, whether Google's hours match them.
Reviews
Your average rating, how many reviews you have, and recent 1 to 3 star reviews among those Google shows. Google doesn't tell us whether you replied, so check those yourself.
Your website
Whether the site loads, uses HTTPS and responds quickly, broken homepage links, domain expiry, and whether your homepage shows the same phone and address as Google.
Paid only: every issue with fixes, draft review replies, and copy-paste hours (Fix Pack, $19). Monthly re-checks and alerts (Profile Watch, $9/mo). Website Match, Review Guard and Competitor Watch are listed below.
Get more Google reviews with a QR code
Your Business Profile gives you a link for asking for reviews, which you can turn into a QR code. Put it at the front desk or on a card at checkout so happy clients can leave a review on their phone in a few taps. Google's rules don't allow offering discounts or rewards for reviews, so just ask.

FAQ: Google reviews, Maps and hours
Does this work for barbershops, nail and lash studios?
Yes. The check works for any business with a Google listing.
Will you check my booking link?
The free check tests whether your website link works. Website Match compares the hours, phone and address on your website with Google.
Can I compare against other salons nearby?
Yes. Competitor Watch puts your Google rating and review count next to up to 3 nearby salons and watches their websites weekly for changes.
How do I change my hours on Google Business Profile?
Sign in with the Google account that manages your profile, search for your business name on Google or open it in Google Maps, choose Edit profile, then Hours. Use special hours for holidays or one-off closures. Edits can take some time to show up.
Why does Google keep changing my business hours?
Google can update listings using suggestions from the public and information it finds online, such as your website. Check your Business Profile for suggested updates and approve or reject them, keep the hours on your website the same as on Google, and add special hours ahead of holidays.
How do I mark my business temporarily closed on Google, or reopen it?
In your Business Profile, choose Edit profile and change the open status under business information to Temporarily closed. Change it back to Open when you reopen. The free audit flags a listing that Google shows as temporarily or permanently closed.
Why don't my edits or reviews show up on Google Maps right away?
Google may review edits and new reviews before they appear, which can take some time. Your Business Profile and Google Maps use the same listing, so once a change is live it shows on both.
Are you affiliated with Google?
No. Storefront Checkup is independent and reads public Google listing data.
