How many Google reviews do the top hair salons in Houston have?
The three businesses with the most top-3 spots in this scan had between 42 and 682 reviews. Recent reviews matter along with the total.
How far do people travel for a hair salon search?
Not far. Salon searches are very local, so the top 3 changes quickly from block to block in dense cities, as the heat-map on this page shows.
Do booking links affect Google Maps rankings?
Google has not said they are a ranking factor, but a booking link makes the profile more useful and is common among the salons that hold the top spots.
Should each stylist have their own Google profile?
Only if Google’s rules for individual practitioners apply to them. Duplicate profiles at one address usually hurt more than they help.
Why does a new salon sometimes rank well quickly?
A complete profile, accurate category, photos and a steady stream of early reviews can lift a new salon near its own address within weeks.
