01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing health is very low, at 0.2 out of 10, indicating limited completeness and visibility. The strongest elements are a visible listing title, a full address, and a main image, which support local credibility. However, critical gaps remain in claimed status, website link, phone number, description and photos that, if addressed, would improve discoverability and customer engagement.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    AddressYour listing carries an address, so the directions button works and Google can match you to searches for your suburb.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.

Your reviews

Barber Shop shows very low overall Google review health, at 1.3 out of 10, indicating significant room for improvement. The most notable finding is a top 10% star rating that confirms strong customer satisfaction, paired with no review responses yet and only a modest number of total reviews that are still growing.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where customers find you

A health score of 1.1 out of 10 indicates very low overall health for Citations & Social Presence. The two key findings are: the business has an outstanding Facebook profile with very high trust, and a Fresha Directory listing that is current. The opportunity lies in building missing social profiles and directories to improve visibility and trust among local clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Barber Shop's timing alignment cannot be fully assessed because published opening hours are missing. The analysis flags no recorded hours, so there are no confirmed matches with high-demand windows or identified times when the shop is open during low-demand periods. This limits specific recommendations. Adding regular, consistent opening hours will allow comparison against Riccarton/Christchurch demand and reveal practical scheduling changes.
