Winning the "nail salon near me" search in one of Singapore's most contested shopping belts.
Julia Beauty runs a nail and lash studio at Far East Plaza, a building with dozens of competing beauty outlets stacked floor on floor. Standing out on a map search and in AI-assisted recommendations, meant more than just being listed.

The Challenge
A great salon, buried under dozens of near-identical listings.
Far East Plaza has long been a hub for independent beauty and nail studios, which means anyone searching "nail salon Orchard" or "lash extensions near me" is shown a map packed with similar-looking options. Julia Beauty had the skill and the loyal clientele, but its online listing didn't clearly communicate what set it apart from the studio two floors up.
The business also had no real content presence beyond its Google listing and social media, which meant it had almost nothing for either Google or AI tools to draw on when someone asked a more specific question, like which salon does the best gel extensions or takes walk-ins on a Sunday.
The Approach
Owning the local map pack, then the AI answer that follows it.
Local SEO
Making the listing work harder
- Rebuilt the Google Business Profile with accurate categories, service menus, and consistent opening hours
- Added a steady stream of real photos and encouraged a genuine review flow from happy clients
- Fixed name, address, and phone number inconsistencies across directories that were quietly working against the listing
GEO
Becoming a citable answer, not just a pin on a map
- Built out service pages with specific, extractable details: techniques offered, typical appointment length, price ranges
- Structured FAQ content around real questions like walk-in availability and appointment booking
- Focused on building a genuinely useful web presence so AI tools researching "best nail salon Orchard" have something real to reference
