Get Found. Get Booked. Grow Your Business.

Build a business that gets found, trusted, and booked.
Running a beauty business is hard enough. These step-by-step courses show you how to get visible on Google, attract the right clients, and build a business that works, without relying on social media or expensive ads.

SEO courses that complement your Directory profile, so you don’t just ‘exist’ online, you dominate it.

“I’ve spoken to hundreds of salon owners and most of them were amazing… but invisible.”

Most hair and beauty professionals aren’t showing up where clients are actually searching. Over 90% of people use Google to find local services but unless your business is properly set up and optimised, you won’t appear. You could be the best at what you do, but if you’re not visible, you’ll be overlooked.

That’s where these courses come in.

This is practical training built specifically for our industry not vague advice, and not generic marketing. These courses walk you through exactly how to get found on Google, how to use your profile properly, and how to get your website working for you.

Most professionals are never taught this. And most courses in our industry don’t go anywhere near the level of detail you’ll find here  from SEO, meta links, Google Console, to real search data and client behaviour. It’s the kind of training that changes how you show up online and in your business.

If you’re ready to stop guessing, and finally take control of how clients find you, start here.

I attended a live business webinar with The Hair and Beauty Directory that provided immense value that I can now impliment within my business and google maps profile. It was game changing information that was shared by Helen.

Thanks to Helen doing her lives it's helping me and other nails, hair, beauty and spa salons adjust sections of their business that need it. She is a mind full of Google Business information. I can't keep up with all the changes and this has helped me enormously add sections on my Google Business I wasn't aware I could do. If you can, book on the next one. It will help you grow.

Optimising Your Google Business Profile

Make your business visible where it matters most on Google Maps and local search.

How to Rank #1 in Local Searches

Optimising Your Google Business Profile

Be the business that shows up first — not the one that’s forgotten.

I’ve spoken to hundreds of salon owners who don’t even realise their Google profile is costing them clients. It's either missing, half-filled, outdated, or just… wrong. That one free tool is the first place clients look and the one that Google cares about most when deciding who to show on maps and search results.

In this course, I show you exactly how to set it up properly not just tick boxes. I walk you through every section of your profile in easy-to-follow videos, using real-world examples from someone (me!) who ranks at the top of Google across multiple locations and services.

You’ll learn:

  • How to fully claim and verify your profile (and fix common errors)

  • Which categories, keywords and descriptions to use to rank higher

  • How to structure your services and location info so Google can find you

  • How to post updates, collect reviews, and build trust — even if you hate self-promotion

This course is packed with:

  • Video walkthroughs you can follow at your own pace

  • Real examples and screenshots from profiles that rank

  • A downloadable checklist to optimise your profile step-by-step

  • Prompts to help you write content without overthinking

  • Packed with tricks and tips and updated to stay relavent

How to Rank #1 on Search Engines

Real SEO. No jargon. Just results.

You don’t need to be a tech wizard to rank on Google, you just need to know how the game works. I’ve ranked at the top of Google for nearly every treatment and city I’ve targeted, and in this course, I show you how to do the same.

We’re not talking about blogging, backlinks from strangers, or “playing the algorithm.”
This is local SEO built specifically for the beauty industry, using strategies that actually work for salons, therapists, and solo professionals.

I’ll show you:

  • How to find the right keywords — the ones your actual clients are typing

  • How to use those keywords on your website, Directory listing, Google profile and socials

  • How to structure your website so that Google knows exactly what you offer and where

  • What to do if you don’t have a website (or if yours isn’t ranking)

  • How to use location, links, and content in a way that builds authority over time

Inside the course:

  • You’ll get video training in plain English, no techy nonsense

  • Copy-and-paste heading and FAQ templates

  • A full-page audit guide to help you fix what’s holding your ranking back

🎯 This is for you if:
You have a website or Directory profile, but you’re not showing up in searches or you don’t understand why.

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.
