Three options. Only one actually works for your business.
The trial visit is easy. The membership is the business.
Beauty salons live in a strange shape: a constant stream of one-off bookings (a brow wax before a date, a facial before a wedding, a single LED course before a holiday) and a smaller core of members who come back every month for the package. The members fund the rent. The one-offs spike at peak (wedding season, Christmas) and disappear in between. The marketing job is two things: keep the new-client funnel running so the one-offs convert to multi-visit packages, and run the membership engine so the regulars don't quietly fall off. Almost no salon does both well because they require completely different content and completely different paid campaigns.
Good beauty marketing has three layers running together: a relentless signature-treatment-plus-suburb page library that wins the 'facial near me' and 'LED treatment [suburb]' searches, a consistent before-and-after content stream that closes the consideration window, and a membership-and-package campaign that turns the trial visit into a four-visit course. The signature pages are the SEO base; the social is the consideration layer; the package campaign is the conversion. Doing one without the others gets you full diaries one week and empty ones the next.
Six agents, working in your accounts.
Account Lead, Web, SEO, Advertising, Social Media, and Content. One platform, one bill, you approve the work.
Sets the plan around the two numbers that move the business: trial-to-package conversion and membership retention. Briefs the other agents so the signature-treatment pages, the new-client ads, the before-and-after content and the membership prompts all push toward the same outcome instead of running as four separate feeds.
Imports your existing site and ships a treatment-plus-suburb page library so 'LED facial Bondi' and 'hydrafacial Newtown' find you instead of the day spa in the next postcode. Builds a proper checkout flow for packages and gift vouchers and keeps the team-and-room pages up to date as the senior therapists' portfolios grow.
Owns whether you appear in the map pack for 'facial near me' and the signature-treatment searches that bring high-intent bookings. Complete Google Business Profile, treatment-page schema, review prompts after every visit, and the technical fixes that keep you indexed. Auto-applies the low-risk stuff.
Runs a permanent new-client trial ad on Meta with a 5km radius and a one-tap booking link, lifts the spend in the lead-up to wedding season and Christmas, and runs a separate retargeting layer for prep-for-the-event keywords (pre-wedding, mother-of-the-bride, pre-holiday tan). Google Ads on the high-intent searches you can't rank for overnight.
Turns every consented result into a before-and-after post in your voice: the protocol, the number of visits, the home routine, the result. Builds the visual case for packages, not single sessions. You snap the result photo, confirm consent, the agent drafts the caption, you approve in two taps.
Drafts the longer-form pieces clients search for between visits: 'how many LED sessions before you see results', 'what to expect from your first hydrafacial', 'pre-wedding skin timeline'. Two a month, in your voice, that pull the consideration-stage search and double as homework for existing clients.

A beauty salon wins on two timelines at once: the bride searching four months out, the client booking a brow wax for tomorrow. The marketing that catches both is the signature-treatment-plus-suburb page library, the new-client trial ad, the consented before-and-after content, and the membership funnel that converts the trial into a year. Almost no independent salon does all four because each one needs weekly attention that the floor doesn't have.
Agencies are too dear to actually do this work for $3.5k a month. Tools are cheap but the membership campaign you mean to launch in spring is still in your notes app in September. In-House is the third option: for $299 a month the agents ship the suburb pages, run the trial ads, post the consented results, and keep the Google Business profile bookable. You snap one result photo with consent, approve the week from the treatment room, done.
