    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Your reviews

Flicks Hair & Beauty shows an overall health score of 4.4 out of 10 on Google reviews, indicating moderate performance with room for improvement. The strongest finding is listing activity and rating confidence which are both strong, while the critical area to address is the lack of responses to reviews. With customers increasingly noticing engagement, improving response rate should be the top priority.

Strengths

Where you show up on the map

Flicks Hair & Beauty shows a very high overall health in Google Maps search (9.2/10), indicating strong visibility. The strongest opportunities relate to expanding presence across more local suburbs and maintaining momentum within the borough. Key keywords indicate dominance for hair salon and unisex hairdresser terms in nearby areas, with solid performance on waxing and eyebrow services.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Flicks Hair & Beauty shows a below-average health score of 4.1 out of 10 in the Citations & Social Presence area, indicating room for improvement in third-party listings. The strongest achievement is a very high-trust Facebook profile, which supports solid brand credibility online; Fresha listings also contribute to visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/flicks-hair-beauty-yaldhurst-road-christchurch-znZ6N2) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Flicks Hair & Beauty shows a strong on-page SEO health score of 8.0 out of 10, indicating solid technical optimization. The most notable findings are a fast page load under 3 seconds, a valid favicon, and an H1 tag, with all content served over HTTPS. The main improvement areas involve adding a meta description and fine-tuning the title tag to the ideal length.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 3
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
