Your Google listing

Ace of Blades Barbers Christchurch displays a below-average Google Business Listing health score of 4.2/10. The listing shows a complete address, a listed phone number and a claimed status, but lacks a website link and could improve its photo presence. The overall health implies limited optimisation with clear opportunities to drive customer visits and engagement.

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
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 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.

Where you show up on the map

Ace of Blades Barbers Christchurch shows a very high overall health in Google Maps search with a 9.4/10 score, indicating strong visibility. Most promising findings include top rankings for core local keywords such as barber shop in bromley and barber shop in oceanic Canterbury region (both rank 1). However, there is room to strengthen borough-specific visibility where the local maps presence remains minimal.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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

Ace of Blades Barbers Christchurch shows an above-average health score of 6.1 out of 10, indicating decent overall reach with room to improve. The strongest asset is a very high trust Facebook presence, while Fresha listings support ongoing visibility. Key opportunity areas include TikTok, GrabOne, Neighbourly, and Neighbourly directory enhancements to broaden local engagement.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Having a Facebook page at allWe turned up your Facebook Profile page, but only barely, and nothing you own points at it - your website does not link to it and it is not on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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 hours against demand

Ace of Blades Barbers Christchurch has solid alignment with local demand at lunchtime and Saturday midday: open during high-demand windows on Tuesday 11-12 and Saturday 11-13. There are no low-demand open hours flagged, so operating time is not wasteful. However, several Monday midday hours and Sunday 3pm are missed opportunities when local search demand is high but the shop is closed.
