Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing for The Dog Box Barbershop On New Regent Street shows above-average health with a 6.2/10. The listing has a verified claimed status, a phone number and a website link, and accurately shows open status, which helps customers reach the business easily. Two key findings: missing a meaningful description and room to grow photos.

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
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

The Dog Box Barbershop On New Regent Street shows an above-average health score on Google reviews, reflecting solid customer sentiment. The top achievement is a stellar star rating placing it in the top 10% for satisfaction. Opportunities focus on increasing engagement with reviews and maintaining strong overall review volume to keep confidence high.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 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.

Where you show up on the map

This indicates limited visibility across Google Maps searches. Top keywords show some local strength, but broader and borough-specific results need significant improvement to attract more local customers.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

The Dog Box Barbershop on New Regent Street shows a healthy online presence with a 7.6/10 health score. Key findings indicate strong Instagram and Facebook profiles and a well-maintained Fresha listing, supporting visibility with local customers. Opportunities lie mainly in expanding reach on TikTok and adding LinkedIn profiles for the owner and the company, and listing on NoSecretSalon.

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 ProfileThe Fresha Profile listing that comes up when someone searches for you belongs to another business, and we could not find one of your own.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    A cover photoThe banner across the top of your page is blank, which is the first thing a visitor meets and the quickest way for a working business to look half set up.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The Dog Box Barbershop On New Regent Street shows an above-average on-page health score of 6.7 out of 10. Key strengths include a valid favicon, a fast-loading page under 256KB, secure HTTPS resources, and relevant meta description and title tag. Overall, the site is solid technically but has clear opportunities to improve to rise higher in search results.

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.
  • ✓
    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 file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

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
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    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.
