Recommended stack by business stage
If booking discipline is still loose
Start with deposits, confirmations, and no-show rules before anything else.
If clients love the service but do not rebook fast enough
Use maintenance-timing messages and follow-up reminders to close the gap.
If social proof is inconsistent
Use caption prompts, consent messages, and before-and-after workflows so portfolio content does not stay trapped on your phone.
