Dog owners booking with another groomer
Dog owners pick whoever looks most trustworthy online. If that's not you, the booking goes to a competitor.
Puppy owners choosing their first groomer online
New dog owners pick a groomer online — and stay loyal for years. If you're not visible when they search, you lose a long-term customer.
