Your Google listing

Vivo Hair Salon Northlands shows a strong Google Business Listing health score of 8.2 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and verification. The listing demonstrates reliable contact and access with a website link, listed phone number, claimed status, and open-for-business indicator. The business title is present and visible, and the overall profile aligns with local competitors in key areas.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 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.

    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.

Where you show up on the map

Vivo Hair Salon Northlands shows below-average overall Google Maps health, with a score of 2.9 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility across maps queries but some presence in the local area. The strongest opportunities lie in improving both aggregate and borough level rankings to move into a higher visibility bracket and attract more local clients.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

    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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Vivo Hair Salon Northlands shows a very high overall health (9.1/10) for its social and directory presence.

Key opportunities include adding a TikTok presence and improving Neighbourly profiles and directories to reach local Auckland area customers.

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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/vivo-hair-salon-northlands-mall-579500297) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

Your website

Vivo Hair Salon Northlands shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 9.3 out of 10, indicating strong technical optimisation for the homepage. The strongest findings include a valid favicon, a properly sized page under 256KB, presence of an H1 tag, secure HTTPS resources, and adequate text content. Opportunities focus on minor refinements in meta tags and site speed improvements.

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

  • 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.

    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.

Your hours against demand

Vivo Hair Salon Northlands' hours largely match local demand, with most busy windows covered and very few low-value open hours. Peak Saturday midday and Tuesday late-morning lunchtime slots are open and well aligned with demand. However evening and early Sunday morning demand is missed. Overall alignment is strong, with scope to extend a few weekday evenings to capture after-work customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
