GoHighLevel Local Ads for Beauty Salons

Using GoHighLevel together with tools like ClickUp, salon owners can quickly launch local ad campaigns that attract high-intent clients instead of low-value discount hunters. This how-to guide walks you through a proven process modeled on the Boosting over Balayage strategy so you can fill your calendar with ready-to-book appointments.

The goal is to shift from endless balayage promos and discounts to smart local ads that generate consistent, profitable bookings.

Why Use GoHighLevel for Local Salon Ads

Local beauty clients usually decide between a few nearby salons. That means your ad strategy must maximize intent, not just reach. GoHighLevel helps you:

  • Capture leads from Facebook and Instagram ads into a single CRM.
  • Automate follow-up with texts and emails.
  • Track appointment requests and show-up rates.
  • Standardize offers so your stylists stay fully booked.

This guide is based on the official Boosts over Balayage playbook for beauty salons, which you can review here: Boosts Over Balayage Local Ads Playbook.

Step 1: Clarify Your Offer Before Using GoHighLevel

Before you build anything in GoHighLevel, define one clear, irresistible offer that does not destroy your margins.

Choose a High-Intent Service

Pick a service that indicates strong buying intent, such as:

  • Color refresh or root touch-up with gloss.
  • Haircut and blowout package.
  • First-time client makeover package.

Avoid stacking endless discounts on niche services. The Boosts over Balayage method focuses on consistent, bookable services that new clients can easily understand.

Define Simple Pricing and Availability

Lock in the following details before building your funnel in GoHighLevel:

  • Clear price or price range.
  • What is included (e.g., toning, trim, styling).
  • Days and times you want to fill.
  • Which stylist will take these leads.

Once this is set, you can translate the offer into ads, landing pages, and workflows.

Step 2: Map the Funnel You Will Build in GoHighLevel

The Boosts over Balayage playbook follows a simple funnel that GoHighLevel can manage end-to-end:

  1. Ad: A local awareness ad focused on your high-intent service.
  2. Landing Page: A short page that explains the offer and collects contact details.
  3. Follow-Up: Automated SMS and email nurturing plus manual confirmation.
  4. Appointment: A booked service that turns visitors into long-term clients.

Sketch this out so it is clear which parts will live inside GoHighLevel and which live in your ad account.

Step 3: Build Your Salon Landing Page in GoHighLevel

Next, set up a dedicated page inside your GoHighLevel funnel builder.

Essential Landing Page Sections

Use these elements to mirror the playbook structure:

  • Headline: Focus on the main benefit, such as shiny color, healthy hair, or a fresh seasonal look.
  • Subheadline: Reinforce that this is a local, limited-availability offer.
  • Social Proof: Add before-and-after photos and a few short client quotes.
  • Offer Details: State what is included, expected time in the chair, and starting price.
  • Lead Form: A simple form asking for name, phone, and email.

Keep copy short and visual so visitors can understand the offer in seconds.

Optimize the Form for Higher Quality Leads

Inside GoHighLevel, configure your form to filter out time-wasters:

  • Add a multiple-choice question about hair length or current color.
  • Ask how soon they want an appointment (this week, this month, just browsing).
  • Use required fields for contact data so your automations can run correctly.

These details help your team prioritize the best prospects.

Step 4: Connect Your Ads to GoHighLevel

To make this playbook work, your Facebook or Instagram ads must push traffic directly into your GoHighLevel funnel.

Set Up the Local Ad Campaign

Follow this high-level structure in your ad platform:

  1. Campaign Objective: Choose a conversion or lead objective.
  2. Targeting: Focus on a tight radius around your salon, plus age and gender filters that match your best clients.
  3. Creative: Use real photos from your salon with clean, bright lighting.
  4. Copy: Align headline and description with the same offer on your GoHighLevel landing page.

In your ad, send traffic to the specific funnel URL generated in your GoHighLevel account.

Keep Messaging Consistent

To avoid confusion and drop-off:

  • Repeat the same offer name from ad to landing page.
  • Use similar before-and-after images.
  • Match price and availability exactly.

Consistency increases trust and booking rates.

Step 5: Automate Lead Follow-Up in GoHighLevel

Once your ad is live, GoHighLevel can handle lead capture and nurture so your team is not chasing every inquiry manually.

Create an Automation Workflow

Inside your GoHighLevel workflows, set up a sequence triggered when someone submits the landing page form:

  1. Instant SMS: Thank them, mention the offer, and provide a link to confirm preferred time slots.
  2. Instant Email: Repeat the key benefits and share a few before-and-after images.
  3. Reminders: Send a follow-up text if they have not replied within 24 hours.
  4. Internal Notification: Alert your front desk or stylist team so they can personally confirm the appointment.

This aligns with the Boosts over Balayage focus on fast response and high-intent conversations.

Tag and Segment Salon Leads

Use GoHighLevel tags to keep your salon pipeline organized:

  • Tag by service type (color, cut, treatment).
  • Tag by intent level (ready now, next month, just curious).
  • Tag by campaign (so you know which ad brought them in).

Later, you can run targeted campaigns to each segment without starting from scratch.

Step 6: Track Results in GoHighLevel

Tracking is crucial for improving your local salon ads over time.

Key Metrics to Monitor

Inside GoHighLevel and your ad account, pay close attention to:

  • Number of leads generated per week.
  • Cost per lead from your ad platform.
  • Number of appointments booked from those leads.
  • Show-up rate and rebooking rate.

This mirrors the data-focused mindset in the original salon playbook and helps you refine your offer and messaging.

Refine the Funnel Based on Data

Use what you learn to make small, focused changes:

  • If leads are cheap but do not show, adjust your form questions to filter better.
  • If few people click ads, improve visuals and tighten your headline.
  • If many leads book once but do not return, update your follow-up sequences.

Because GoHighLevel centralizes data, you can quickly see which parts of the funnel need attention.
