Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing for 1855 Barbershop/Salon shows a solid health score with room for refinement. Current strengths include claimed status, an open-for-business display, a website link, and a phone number, supporting easy customer contact. The listing also has a clear title and is claimed, providing control over details. Opportunity lies in improving the description and ongoing photo updates.

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 two 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.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for 1855 Barbershop/Salon is low, with a health score of 2.3 out of 10. This indicates limited overall visibility on Google Maps. The strongest current momentum is in broad barber-related queries, while local presence in Prebbleton remains minimal. Focus should be on improving both aggregate and borough visibility.

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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Citations and social presence show an overall health score of 5.1 out of 10, indicating average health. The business has a strong Facebook presence with a very high trust score, which is a solid strength for trust and reach. Opportunities remain in TikTok, Fresha, and Yellow directories, with Instagram showing strong trust but room for broader profile completeness.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The on-page health for 1855 Barbershop/Salon is very high, with a score of 9.9 out of 10. This indicates strong technical SEO health for the homepage. The most notable findings include an excellent title tag and a valid favicon, plus a fast page load under 3 seconds and a compact page size, all of which support quick access for customers and search engines.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 2
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain is younger than most businesses here.
  • 3
    On-page scoreYour home page passes more of these checks than most sites in this market: it opens fast, it says what it is, and there is real text on it for Google to read.
