01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Glowing Beauty Riccarton shows a below-average health score with room for improvement. The listing already has a title, claimed status, a phone number, and a full address, and the open-for-business status is correct. The main opportunities are adding a website link and expanding photos, while the description is performing moderately well.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Glowing Beauty Riccarton shows solid health on Google reviews with a 7.8 out of 10. The business has strong customer satisfaction, placing its star rating in the top 10% and an elite response rate. Opportunities to improve focus on continuing rating improvement and growing total review count to support ongoing trust and visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where customers find you

Glowing Beauty Riccarton shows a healthy online presence with a very high overall health score. The strongest findings are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, plus solid Neighbourly and Fresha listings that help local visibility.
