Let’s face it — getting customers online isn’t what it used to be. Free exposure on search engines and social media has all but disappeared. Every channel is now pay-to-play.
Marketing has gone from being an optional way to grow, to being critical for survival.
We’ve spent 11+ years helping local businesses grow via marketing — listening to pros, testing what works, and learning what doesn’t. After thousands of campaigns and conversations, we’ve seen the patterns behind real, lasting growth.
Here are the five growth secrets the most successful pros use:
Respond first — Customers hire more when they get a reply instantly. Our free AI drafts an instant, personalized reply so you win jobs faster and maximize your marketing ROI.
Raise your prices — This is important. For the last 5 years, costs have risen across the board. The most successful pros have adjusted — often doubling rates — and are now earning more and able to scale up their marketing profitably.
Enable online booking & payments — Let customers book and pay you 24/7, even while you sleep. Our free all-in-one booking software replaces tools that normally cost thousands per year. This boosts your win rate and profitability, and saves hours of back-and-forth with customers.
Add “Book now” buttons to your website — Convert 3X more visitors instantly with booking buttons and lead widgets. Plus, you’ll never pay any fees when your own clients find you through your website, booking links, or anywhere else.
Sell packs, memberships, or plans — Many customers will prepay for 10–20 sessions or join a recurring membership when you offer a small discount. This increases your revenue per client and cash flow.
With the right setup, marketing becomes predictable and scalable — not a gamble.
We’re proud of the impact we’ve made so far, with more than 100,000 pros trusting us to run and grow their business, and millions of customers who have found pros through our network.
That’s why we believe Talo will work for you too. It’s not just another booking app — it’s the world’s only 100% free all-in-one booking software, built to convert leads into loyal clients.
With the thousands of dollars you'll save by using our free booking software, we hope you'll spend some of that on marketing your business with Talo (but that's totally optional).
