01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

VS Nails shows solid presence on Google with a health score of 6.4 out of 10, indicating above-average performance but room to improve. The listing already includes a title, claimed status, a website link, a visible phone number, and open-for-business status. The top takeaway is ongoing improvements to the description and photos to move toward the local midpoint and beyond.

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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

VS Nails shows a very high overall health score for Google Business reviews, indicating strong performance across ratings and engagement. The two key completed achievements reflect exceptional customer satisfaction and top-tier star ratings. The business should continue sustaining high service quality to maintain its premier standing while keeping customer interactions responsive.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou answer nearly all your reviews, which is more than almost anyone in this market, and a customer reading the page sees a two-sided conversation rather than a scoreboard.
  • 2
    Review countYou hold more reviews than most of this market - depth buyers read as proof.

Vee always does an amazing job with my nails no matter how crazy I feel like they are. She’s really sweet and down for a laugh.

Vee always makes the nails better than the reference nails. Shes amazing at her job and is great at juggling around different ideas and techniques. Love her Saloon and I'm always happy with the designs and how they last so well!

Response from the owner

I have so much fun working with you to create a special set each time you visit the salon 💕

Where you show up on the map

VS Nails shows an above-average health score in Google Maps search, at 6.6 of 10, indicating solid visibility with room to grow. Top opportunities centre on expanding aggregate map presence and strengthening the borough ranking, which can help attract more local customers in Burwood and surrounding suburbs.

Strengths

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

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

VS Nails shows a high overall health score and strong presence on Facebook and Instagram, with good Fresha listings. The most important findings are the outstanding social profiles and a well-established Fresha presence, balanced by opportunities to improve on TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly, NoSecretSalon, and broader Neighbourly 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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/vs-nails-christchurch-kingsbridge-west-christchurch-gnk1ay) found via: Google search results.

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

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
    Recommendations on your pageMore customers have recommended you than at most pages in this market, and depth like that reads as a business that has been doing this a while.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro carries more detail than most pages in this market and is doing the work of a short landing page for the visitors who never reach your website.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

VS Nails shows an average overall on-page SEO health with a score of 5.4 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in technical SEO factors. The most notable findings are missing meta elements and headers: no detectable Title Tag, Meta Description, or H1 tag on the homepage, and no favicon. Page load is fast, which is a strength for user experience and crawl efficiency.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

VS Nails shows mixed timing. Opening hours cover several high-demand weekday slots - notably Tuesday 10-12pm and Wednesday 11am-2pm - which aligns with strong customer interest. However, significant missed opportunities include busy late‑afternoon and weekend windows (Thursday 4-5pm, Saturday 1-2pm, Wednesday 3pm). There are no low‑demand open hours, suggesting efficient but incomplete coverage of peak demand.
