What we found

44/50

of the Vietnamese-run shops we checked have no website, or only a very basic one

4/21

nail and beauty salons we checked let customers book online. The rest take bookings by phone, often while the owner is busy with a client.

2,000+

Google reviews at some popular local restaurants that still only have a Facebook page, so new customers can't see a menu or prices.

Why it matters

Same shop, same great work. More new customers finding you.

Today

  • Calls go unanswered while you're busy with a client
  • Prices and services are only on the shop wall
  • Regulars love you, but rarely leave a Google review
  • A Facebook page is the only place to find you online

With Hẻm Studio

  • Customers book online any time, even after closing
  • Correct prices, hours and photos on Google Maps
  • Every visit ends with a friendly review request
  • Your own website, in English and Vietnamese

What we do

Everything your shop needs to be found, and booked, online

  • Bilingual website

    A fast website that works well on phones, with your services, prices, photos, opening hours and map, in English and Vietnamese.

  • Online booking

    Customers pick a service and a time themselves, day or night, and get a reminder text before they come. Already on Fresha or Square? We connect your website to it.

  • Google reviews

    After each visit, customers get a short, friendly text asking for a Google review. More good reviews also help you show up higher on Google Maps.

  • Menu & ordering

    A clear menu with prices and a pick-up ordering link, so regulars can order directly from you and you skip the delivery-app fees.

  • AI chat assistant

    Answers everyday questions like prices, hours and parking in English or Vietnamese, day and night, using only information you approve.

  • Google Maps & local SEO

    We set up your Google profile properly and keep improving it, so you show up when people nearby search for things like “nails near me” or “bánh mì Springvale”.

Made for

  • Nail & beauty salons
  • Restaurants, cafés & bakeries
  • Migration & education agents
  • Local services

More customers from Google

We track the numbers that matter: calls, directions and bookings.

Most new customers find a local shop on Google Maps, not through a fancy website. Our local growth plan (local SEO) works on the things that move you up in “near me” searches. Every month we show you, in plain numbers, how many more people called, asked for directions or booked.

What we do every month

  1. Keep your Google profile complete and up to date: services, prices, hours, photos and booking link.
  2. Post news and fresh photos on your Google profile, so it stays active.
  3. Keep review requests going, and reply to every review in English or Vietnamese.
  4. Make sure your shop name, address and phone match everywhere: Google, Facebook and directory sites.
  5. Check where your shop shows up for searches like “nails near me” in your suburb.

We won't promise “number one on Google”. Nobody can honestly promise that. We promise the work, and a clear report so you can see for yourself whether it's paying off.

Questions

Questions owners ask

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. Send us photos, prices and hours. We do the rest and show you how to see your bookings.

I already use Fresha or Square. Do I have to switch?

No. We connect your new website to the booking tool you already use.

Who owns the website?

You do. The domain is in your name and the content stays yours.

Why is there a monthly fee?

It covers hosting, security, small edits and keeping booking and reviews running, so you never have to think about the website.

Can you get my shop to number one on Google?

No one can honestly promise that, so be careful of anyone who does. What we can do is the work Google rewards: a complete profile, steady reviews, fresh photos and a fast website. Then every month we show you whether calls, directions and bookings are going up.

How will I know it's working?

Every month you get a one-page report, in English or Vietnamese, with the numbers Google gives us: phone calls, direction requests, website visits, bookings and new reviews, compared with last month and with where you started.

Can we talk in Vietnamese?

Yes. We work in English and Vietnamese, in person or by phone.

What does the AI assistant do?

It answers everyday questions like prices, hours and parking, using only information you approve. Anything else goes to you.
