Your Google listing

Chérie Nail's Google listing shows a solid overall health with clear foundation and control. The key strengths include a visible website link, an open-for-business status, a listed business title, a claimed listing, and a visible phone number. The current health score remains high and provides a reliable platform for customers to engage.

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 less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Cherie Nail shows a solid overall health score for Google reviews, with room to edge closer to the midpoint. The strongest current strength is a top 10% position for total reviews, indicating a strong local reputation. Engagement is advancing with a higher-than-average response rate and growing confidence in ratings.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.
  • 2
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.

Where you show up on the map

Cherie Nail's Google Maps health score sits at 4.3 out of 10, indicating average visibility. The business ranks well for core city-area terms such as "nail salon in riccarton" and "nail salon in addington-middleton" (both around position 3), while other boroughs show room for improvement. Priorities include strengthening aggregate map presence and boosting local suburb visibility.

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 the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Chérie Nail shows an above-average health score of 5.9 out of 10, implying solid visibility with room to improve. The strongest finding is a very high trust Facebook presence, while other areas show mixed potential, such as a low-trust TikTok and missing GrabOne listing that could help attract deal-seeking 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.

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
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 3
    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.

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
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

Chérie Nail shows a very high overall on-page SEO health, indicating strong technical foundations. Key findings include an excellent meta description, a present H1 tag, and a page under 256KB. The main opportunity lies in adding a favicon and minor tweaks to title tag length to reach peak scoring, with attention to avoiding render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to yours than most of this market, so search engines have few routes into your site.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Chérie Nail's opening hours largely align with Christchurch demand for nail services, with 53 well-aligned peak hours and no low-demand open hours. The salon is open during several high-traffic windows on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons, but also closes during some popular Monday and evening slots. Adjusting a few evening or Monday midday hours could capture additional bookings without increasing idle time.

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.
