Your Google listing

Always Beauty shows a very healthy Google Business Listing with a score of 8.7 out of 10. The profile already lists essential details and is claimed, with an active phone number and website link. Strengths include the listing's completeness and clear contact options, while opportunities focus on adding fresh photos to push into the local middle and enhancing the description to reach the top tier.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

Your reviews

Always Beauty shows solid overall health in Google reviews with a 6.9/10 overall health score, and the star rating sits in the top 10% of peers. Key strengths include an excellent star rating and a respectable breadth of reviews, reflecting strong customer satisfaction. Opportunities focus on consistent review responses, maintaining trust as among the upper medians, and moving toward the top 10% confidence.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 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.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

The business ranks well in key local terms, notably for waxing and beauty services in Riccarton and Christchurch, with top 5 positions for several related keywords.

Where customers find you

Always Beauty shows an average health score with room for improvement in social presence. The strongest current assets are a very high trust Facebook profile and an active Fresha listing, while opportunities exist on TikTok and establishing LinkedIn profiles to boost professional reach.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/always-beauty-mandeville-street-christchurch-G5XGZG) found via: Google search results.

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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
    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
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.

Your hours against demand

Always Beauty's current hours show a narrow fit to local demand: 15 well-aligned peak hours (mainly midday on Tuesday and Friday) but 62 popular hours missed. Strong alignment occurs Tuesday 11am-2pm and Friday 11am. Missed opportunities include Wednesday 3pm, Thursday 4-5pm and Saturday 1-2pm. No low-demand open hours are recorded, so extending hours into popular windows could increase bookings without adding obvious inefficiency.
