We plug into what you already use so there's zero disruption to your front desk.","question":"Will Worqd make me switch my salon's booking or CRM software?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. Local SEO compounds over months, so we typically lean on paid demand first while your local search presence builds. You'll see lead quality and outcomes in one report throughout.","question":"How long before local SEO and paid ads actually fill my chairs?"},{"answer":"There's no public pricing — work is scoped on a free growth call and priced against the results that matter to you, not the hours we log. Our AI SDR follow-up runs at a claimed 70–80% lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team.","question":"What does it cost compared to hiring a marketing person or SDR for my salon?"},{"answer":"Integrated beats fragmented.
