Independent nail artist · Charlotte, NC
Iris Charlotte
An independent nail artist with her own studio, launched from zero in February 2026: clear positioning, social profiles, Google Business Profile, online booking and Meta Ads. Activity on the Google profile grew month after month and kept growing after the ads were switched off.
Problem
A new business starting from zero: no online presence, no way for clients to find or book her, and no client base.
Starting point
Nothing was in place: no Facebook or Instagram profiles, no Google Business Profile, no online booking and no advertising.
Strategy
Position the nail artist clearly first, then build the path a local client takes: profiles that show real work, a Google Business Profile so local clients can find the studio, online booking, and Meta Ads to speed up the start.
What we set up
- Positioning of the nail artist and her services
- Facebook and Instagram profiles set up and filled with posts and service information based on the marketing strategy
- Google Business Profile created, completed and optimized
- Online booking set up for appointments and client management
- Meta Ads campaigns from February to May 2026
Results
The Google Business Profile started from zero in February 2026. Profile interactions (calls, chats, bookings, direction requests and website clicks) grew every month through June, and June, the first month after the ads were switched off, was the busiest month from February to July. Figures come from Google Business Profile.
