Your Google listing

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows strong health on Google Business Listing with a 7.9/10, signalling solid visibility and control. Key strengths include a claimed listing, a visible website link, an accurate open-for-business status, and a listed phone number, which together support easy customer contact and trust. Opportunities lie in strengthening the description and maintaining strong photo activity to lift rankings further.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

The business is also performing well on response rate and star rating, indicating solid engagement and customer satisfaction.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits ahead of half the businesses here, so the number is not pushing anyone away.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows an above-average health score for its social and local presence, with strong profiles on Facebook and Instagram and a solid Fresha listing. The most important findings are outstanding Facebook and Instagram presence and a well-maintained Fresha profile, while opportunities exist to expand network reach on TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly, NoSecretSalon and Neighbourly to improve local and niche 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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/the-cosmetic-clinic-westfield-riccarton-riccarton-road-christchurch-15Q9Lx) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 2
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

Your website

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a score of 9.9 out of 10. Key findings highlight excellent title tag and meta description health, a valid favicon, and clear relevance of the title tag. Opportunities include improving page load time, refining URL structure, and moving away from frames to aid indexing and user experience.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 2
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than about half the businesses here, which means it has had time to collect the links and mentions a newer address has not.
