When barbershop demand peaks in Columbus.
Searches for barbershops in Columbus run close to their high of about 16,820 a month through September, March and May, and drop to about 12,190 in January, a swing of roughly 38% from the slowest month to the busiest.
We plan for that: new creative and a higher budget go live a few weeks before the busy stretch, so campaigns are already learning when demand arrives. In slower months like January, the money usually works harder on retention, rebook reminders and win-back messages to past clients than on chasing fewer searches.
