Now that Fog of Covid seems to be lifting most out there are knowing there are tons of shops becoming active. You are a fool if you don't use in your favor. This applies to the indies who try to upsell and/or jack down the service level as well. If you walk immediately if it is a rip you will find a much more friendlier environment soon, IMHO. Of course, have a plan B.
Also there is advertising<who knows who>that amounts to additional web ads for established places with their own phone numbers, so you may be faked out. Heard the girls no likey since owner cost goes up to draw more biz from random booker promises. My take stick with numbers you know or it may cost more to cover the ads, which they look to you to cover. No Bueno.
