Your Google listing

Revive Hairdressing shows strong Google Business Cleaning and ready-to-contact details, with a health score of 8.3 out of 10 indicating solid listing performance. The listing highlights include an open-for-business status, a website link, a listed phone number, a claimed status and a clear title. The key find is that the listing is well-optimised but there is room for further description improvements.

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 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
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Revive Hairdressing shows below-average overall health on Google reviews, with a health score of 4.2 out of 10. This indicates room for improvement in attracting and retaining reviews.

Very bad first impression and service. Waited 45 minutes in a chair to then be told they couldn’t provide a wash and blow dry due to my hair extensions after a prior consultation saying that they could and had the products available. I also...

Always get a great cut from Colin, consistent and tidy. Does his best to fit you in as a walk in, super hard working. Prices are better than most other places too, highly recommend for a male cut

Where customers find you

Revive Hairdressing shows health on social and directories is low, with a 2.0 out of 10. The strongest completed achievements lie with Fresha and Yellow Profile listings, which help local reach. Key opportunities focus on boosting Instagram trust, starting TikTok, and leveraging NoSecretSalon and LinkedIn profiles to expand visibility and trust with potential 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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/revive-hairdressing-pine) found via: Google search results.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.
  • 2
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

Your website

Revive Hairdressing shows an average on-page SEO health with a score of 4.9 out of 10, indicating notable room for improvement. The most impactful findings are the absence of a detected on-page SEO score baseline, and missing meta description and title tag for the homepage. A favicon is also not detected, and the homepage loads slowly, taking over three seconds.

How people find you on Google

Revive Hairdressing shows moderate website traffic health with a 4.9/10 average. The key takeaway is limited organic value and no visible paid traffic activity, despite existing domain presence. Immediate actions should focus on building local relevance and basic optimization to start improving rankings and paid campaigns gradually.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Revive Hairdressing's opening hours are closely matched to local demand, with most high-demand windows covered and no open hours during low-demand times. Strong alignment is evident on Saturday late morning to early afternoon and mid-day Tuesday. A small number of high-demand weekday evenings are missed. The pattern suggests a commercially efficient schedule with a few targeted evening extensions worth testing.
