Isa's African Hair Braiding, Savannah, GA: what changed

Before

The salon’s Google Business Profile had never been claimed. That meant the owner couldn’t control what Google showed about her business: her hours, her address, or her photos.

What I did

• Claimed the Google Business Profile for the salon, so the owner controls it. Then I corrected the hours, confirmed the address, and added real photos of her work.
• Built isabraiding.com (opens in a new tab), a fast site that works well on a phone, with tap-to-call and a clear “Book your appointment” button.
• Gave each main style its own page (box braids (opens in a new tab), cornrows (opens in a new tab), twists (opens in a new tab), and goddess braids (opens in a new tab)), so the salon can show up when people search for a style in Savannah.
• Set up booking without a monthly fee. The owner didn’t want a paid booking tool, so I built a simple booking request form. Each time a client sends one, she gets a message on Telegram right away.
• Set up page titles, descriptions, and structured data that tell Google what the salon does and where it is.

Almost every visit came from a phone. That’s why the site and the profile are built for tap-to-call and quick booking first.
