Digital Growth Strategy & Recommendations

Prepared for Kristy — Bloom & Bare Waxing & Skincare  ·  March 2026

"Bare Your Best Self"

Prepared by Anthony Sealey  ·  Sovereign-HQ.com  ·  CONFIDENTIAL

Section 01

Executive Summary

✅ Strong Foundation

Loyal clients, 4.9★ Google rating, skilled 2-person team, Leaping Bunny certified. The product is excellent.

⚠️ Active But Underperforming

Google Business Profile + Instagram both exist but strategy is weak. Bookings are being left on the table.

🚀 Massive Opportunity

Competitors are weak. The top local franchise has only 732 followers after 772 posts. First-mover advantage is wide open.

🗺️ Clear Roadmap

A phased 90-day plan — starting with zero-cost quick wins — to dramatically increase bookings and build a dominant local brand.

Key Differentiators

  • Two-person team with distinct personalities — significant content advantage over solo operators
  • Manzilian/men's services — growing, underserved market with almost no local competition
  • Multi-year loyal client base with 4.9★ Google reviews sitting unused as social proof

SEO & Local Search — Not Showing Up = Lost Revenue

Why Bloom & Bare Isn't Ranking
  1. GBP exists but unoptimized — no services list, few photos
  2. Not listed on Yelp, Fresha, Booksy, or StyleSeat
  3. Website has keywords but zero blog content
  4. Zero backlinks from directories or social platforms
  5. No local business schema markup on the website

Google Business Profile — Step-by-Step Optimization

Your listing exists. Now let's make it convert.

1

Claim & Verify

Go to business.google.com → Search "Bloom & Bare Lakewood" → Claim ownership → Verify by postcard or phone (takes 1–3 days).

2

Complete All Fields

Add hours, full services list (Brazilian Wax, Manzilian, Eyebrow Wax, Holistic Facials, Dermaplaning), service area, opening date, and booking link (bloomnbare.com).

3

Add Photos — 10 Minimum

Studio exterior, treatment room, product shots, team photos, before/afters (with client consent). Google's algorithm actively ranks businesses with more photos higher in Maps results.

5

Activate Google Posts

Use Google Posts weekly: share monthly specials, new services, skincare tips. Google rewards active profiles with higher placement in the Maps 3-pack.

⭐ This single step can put Bloom & Bare in the Google Maps 3-pack for "waxing near me" searches — for FREE. The listing exists. Optimizing it costs nothing but time.
