1. Set Up Your Google Business Profile Completely

Your Google Business Profile is your digital shopfront. Fill in all information, add photos and choose the right category. For a detailed step-by-step guide, see our guide: Improve your Google Maps ranking.

2. Offer Online Booking

Over 60% of clients prefer to book online. Enable 24/7 booking, even on Sunday evenings.

3. Actively Collect Reviews

Reviews are the most powerful form of recommendation. Kindly ask for a Google review after each treatment. For a complete system with QR codes, benchmark data and tips on handling negative feedback, see our guide: Google Reviews for Massage Studios.

4. Create a Professional Website

A professional website showcases your treatments, prices and enables direct booking.

5. Reduce No-Shows with Reminders

Automatic reminders typically reduce no-shows by 30–60%. An investment that pays for itself immediately.

For a detailed guide including cost calculations and legal options, see our guide: Reducing no-shows in massage studios. After every completed appointment, a follow-up email also gives you the perfect moment to ask for a Google review — see our guide: Google Reviews for Massage Studios.

6. Strengthen Local Visibility

In Switzerland, most clients search locally. Optimise your presence for searches in your city. Just getting started? Our guide: Opening a massage studio in Switzerland helps you set everything up right from the beginning.

7. Nurture and Win Back Regular Clients

Gift vouchers are a proven strategy for customer retention and acquisition — especially at Christmas and Mother's Day. Learn more in our guide: Selling massage gift vouchers online. And once those first clients arrive, make collecting reviews a habit from day one — our guide: Google Reviews for Massage Studios shows you how.
