About the Client

Ashlee Spa & Salon is one of Chennai’s most trusted family-friendly wellness brands, established in 2016. Positioned as India’s No.1 Thai Spa brand, they offer spa treatments, salon services, foot reflexology, and bridal packages across 7 prime Chennai locations – Tambaram, Mylapore, SkyOne Mall, Velachery, Pallavaram, Thoraipakkam, and Perumbakkam – covering over 15,000 sq. ft. of luxury space.

The Challenge

When Ashlee Spa partnered with Notion Graffiti, their digital presence didn’t reflect the quality and scale of their brand. The key problems were:

  • No structured SEO strategy – the website was invisible on Google for local spa searches
  • No consistent social media content – irregular posting with no clear brand voice
  • No review-building system despite having hundreds of happy customers
  • No targeted offer campaigns to drive consistent footfall across outlets
  • No engaging video content to build trust with new audiences

Our Strategy & Execution

1. Website Design, Development & SEO

We built ashleespa.com from scratch – with dedicated service pages for Spa, Salon, Foot Spa, and Bridal & Groom, a franchise/partner page, FAQ sections, and location-specific content. Every page was structured for both user experience and local SEO performance.

2. SEO & Content Strategy

We targeted high-intent local keywords such as “best Thai spa in Chennai,” “couple massage Chennai,” and “family spa near me.” Full on-page optimization including metadata, schema markup, internal linking, and blog content was executed consistently over 12+ months.

3. Social Media Marketing – Instagram & Facebook

We took complete ownership of Ashlee’s social media. Our team executed a consistent content calendar covering service reels, therapy explainers, bridal lookbooks, seasonal creatives, client testimonials, and behind-the-scenes spa content – resulting in 887+ posts and 8,600+ Instagram followers.

4. Vox Pop Campaigns

We produced on-ground Vox Pop videos – candid, real client testimonials filmed directly at Ashlee’s spa outlets. These authentic short-form videos built powerful social proof, increased organic reach, and drove new walk-in clients across all branches.

5. Offer Campaigns – Built to Pull Clients In

We crafted and executed targeted offer campaigns – festival specials, couple packages, referral discounts, and membership drives – designed to fill seats during off-peak hours and build repeat visits. Each campaign was designed with custom creatives and distributed across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

6. Local SEO & Google Business Profile

We optimized GBP listings for all 7 outlets with complete information, photos, Q&As, service categories, and regular posts. A structured review-generation strategy helped Ashlee maintain a 5.0 star Google rating across branches.
