Iman Barber is an established barbershop on High Street in Winchester, offering skin fades, beard trims, wet shaves and walk-ins. The project combined website design and development, SEO, GEO and Google Business Profile optimization, with one goal: a stronger online presence that helps local customers find the shop and get in touch.

For a local barber, most new customers start with a search such as “barber near me” or “Winchester barber”. Whether the shop appears, and what people see when it does, often decides whether they walk in or choose someone else.
The business needed:
Website design and development. A professional, mobile-friendly website with clear services, simple navigation and calls to action that make the next step obvious: book, call or get directions.
SEO. A site structure that tells Google what the business does and where, including service and location targeting, search-friendly content and technical foundations. Search Console was set up to track performance.
GEO (optimization for AI-powered search). GEO means making a business easy for AI search tools to understand and describe correctly. That comes down to clear business details, plainly written services and location context.
Google Business Profile optimization. The Google Business Profile is often the first thing a customer sees, so it was optimized to be complete and consistent with the website.
Google Search Console, Web search, about 5 July to 4 October 2026:
The website appeared in Google results more than 11,000 times over the period. The average search position of 7.9 is an average across all searches, not the ranking for any single keyword.
