01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Afterglow Beauty NZ shows a healthy Google Business Listing with a strong basic setup and open status. The profile has essential contact details and a website link, supporting easy customer outreach. The overall health is 8.1 out of 10, indicating reliable visibility and completeness, with room to grow mainly through more photos.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

Afterglow Beauty NZ shows an above-average health score of 5.9/10 on Google reviews, indicating solid performance with room to grow. The business benefits from highly trusted ratings and a strong customer satisfaction signal, while engagement with responses remains moderate and could improve further. Overall, customer feedback points to consistent care and visible results.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.

Where you show up on the map

Afterglow Beauty NZ shows a very high Maps health score of 9.3, indicating strong overall visibility in Google Maps. The business ranks well across the city and suburb, with top performing keywords centred on St Albans and Christchurch. Primary opportunities lie in pushing for top 10% local placement and further refining the Google Business Listing to sustain momentum.

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 more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

Afterglow Beauty NZ shows low health for citations and social presence with a 1.5/10. The most important findings are the strong Facebook presence with high trust and the need to expand on Instagram and TikTok, plus a missing LinkedIn profile and limited Neighbourly visibility.

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
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 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 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 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.
  • ✓
    What your page says about youFew intros in this market run as full as yours, and it sits close to the limit that length has stopped being a lever.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Afterglow Beauty NZ shows a below-average health score on its on-page SEO, indicating significant gaps in technical optimisation. The most impactful findings are the missing homepage Title Tag and Meta Description, along with no valid favicon, which together hamper visibility and click-throughs. Addressing these basics will establish a baseline for future improvements.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 3
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.
