Frequently Asked Questions
Services, pricing, process and technology — answered clearly in one place.
01Services
What services does Salon Ads AI offer?
We provide complete digital marketing for beauty businesses: website design for spas, massage studios, nail salons and lash studios; Google SEO and paid ads; social advertising on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube; AI marketing tools for email, text automation and influencer matching; online booking; creator partnerships; and beauty and health media placements. We focus exclusively on the beauty industry and understand the needs of each specialty.
What kinds of beauty businesses do you work with?
We work with beauty spas (facials, skin care, anti-aging), massage studios (Chinese massage, spa, reflexology), nail salons (manicures, nail care, nail art) and lash studios (lash extensions, brow design, microblading). Whether you have just opened or want to grow an established client base, we will recommend a plan that fits.
What do you mean by AI marketing tools?
They are smart marketing tools designed for the beauty industry, with three core features. AI email marketing writes personalized emails for you to send with one click. AI text automation sends appointment reminders, birthday wishes and promotions automatically, with response rates up to 89%. AI influencer matching finds suitable local beauty creators and drafts the invitation. All of them are easy to use with no marketing experience required.
How are you different from a typical marketing agency?
Five ways. We focus only on beauty, so we understand massage studios and nail salons deeply. Our tools are designed for non-marketers. Booking is built into your website, so clients never leave it. All content stays on your own domain for stronger Google rankings. And through our Helcim partnership, payment processing costs up to 37% less than the industry average.
02Pricing
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on the services you choose and your specific needs. We offer flexible packages, from website design alone to fully managed marketing. Book a free consultation and we will provide a detailed quote for your situation. There are never hidden fees — every cost is shared up front.
What does “save 37% on payment fees” mean?
Through our partnership with Helcim, clients get lower payment processing rates. The industry average is 2.9% + 30¢, while our clients pay 1.83% + 8¢ in person and 2.27% + 25¢ online. On the same revenue, that can mean up to 37% less in processing fees — a meaningful saving over time.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. Most services are month to month, and you can cancel anytime if you are not satisfied. One-time projects such as website design come with a clear service agreement before work begins. We would rather keep clients with great service than with contracts.
How much should I budget for advertising?
It depends on your goals, location and competition. For a local beauty business, we typically recommend a starting monthly ad budget of $500–$2,000. We continually optimize so every dollar works hard, and we will suggest a budget for your situation during the free consultation.
03Process
What does working together look like?
It is simple. First, a free consultation by phone or video to understand your goals. Second, we build a tailored marketing plan. Third, you approve it and we sign a service agreement. Fourth, our team puts the plan into action. Fifth, we report results regularly and keep optimizing. We stay in close contact the whole way.
How long does a website take?
A professional salon website usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly materials arrive: requirements (1–2 days), design (3–5 days), revisions (2–3 days), development (5–7 days), content and testing (3–5 days), then launch. You approve every key milestone.
How soon will Google Ads show results?
Google Ads usually begin generating clicks and inquiries right away, though 1–2 weeks of data are needed to optimize performance. SEO is a longer game — expect 3–6 months for clear ranking gains. We set clear goals at the start and report progress regularly.
What materials do I need to provide?
Typically: photos of your studio (space, services, team), your service menu and prices, reviews or work photos, hours and contact details, and your logo if you have one. No professional photos yet? We can offer shooting tips or recommend a photographer.
04Technology
I’m not technical. Can I still use your AI tools?
Absolutely. The tools are designed for non-technical owners. With AI email, you choose a topic and AI writes the message — you just press send. Text automation runs on its own once set up. We also provide training and ongoing support.
Will my website be on my own domain?
Yes. Your website lives on your own domain, which matters for SEO — all content builds authority and rankings for your brand. If you don’t have a domain yet, we will register and set it up for you. You fully own the website.
How does booking work with my existing schedule?
Our booking system syncs in real time with tools like Google Calendar, so clients only see genuinely open times and double bookings are prevented. If you already use other booking software, we will assess how to integrate it.
How do your texts reach an 89% response rate?
Our AI texts reach 89% (versus about 45% industry-wide) because the copy is personal rather than templated, messages go out when clients are most likely to read them, they are short and easy to answer, and frequency is kept respectful. These are best practices drawn from extensive testing and data.
05Support
What support do you provide after launch?
Comprehensive support: fast technical help on business days, training for you and your team, regular performance reports with recommendations, routine website content updates (depending on your plan), and ongoing strategy adjustments based on the data. Our goal is a long-term partnership that keeps your business growing.
What if results aren’t what I expected?
We set clear goals and KPIs at the start. If results fall short, we analyze the data, adjust strategy and ads, and test different channels or creative directions. Digital marketing rewards continuous optimization — and if reasonable effort still doesn’t deliver, we will tell you honestly and recommend next steps.
