One thing about working in Folkestone: the local environment matters. South East climate; mild and relatively dry, warm summers, sheltered from Atlantic weather. Local nail technicians who understand this market are at an advantage — but only if customers can actually find them when the moment comes.
A commuter town in the South East, a town of 42k people. Folkestone has its own search patterns and local people type things like "nail technician near me", "nail salon Folkestone", "gel nails Folkestone" when they need a nail technician. If your website doesn't rank for those exact phrases, you're invisible to the customers most likely to call.
If you are a nail technician in Folkestone, your customers are not just in Folkestone. They are in Brighton, Southampton, Reading, Milton Keynes too. Most are women wanting regular manicures and gel nails, bridal parties, special occasions. The trick is making your site rank for searches from every one of those towns — not just the one you trade from.
