Your Google listing

Vivo Hair Salon Avonhead shows a strong Google Business Listing with a health score of 8.5 out of 10. The listing is well completed with a claimed status, phone number and a website link. Key strengths include a visibly accurate open-for-business status and a present listing title. The main opportunity is to add more high-quality photos to lift engagement beyond the local midpoint.

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.

Top three opportunities

    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps Search Performance health for Vivo Hair Salon Avonhead shows an average score of 5.0 out of 10, indicating moderate visibility in Google Maps. The standout finding is that the business ranks well for key terms like "hair salon in avonhead" and "hair extension technician in avonhead" (both around position 7), suggesting solid baseline visibility and room to climb.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    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.

Key strengths include a valid favicon, compact page size, presence of an H1 tag, HTTPS content, and adequate text length. The most important findings point to opportunities in page speed, meta and title tag tuning, and closer alignment of meta description to the ideal length.

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.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

Top three opportunities

    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.
