01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Bella Hair Salon shows an above-average health score, indicating solid setup with room for small improvements. The business claims its listing and provides essential contact details, and customers see open status and a direct website link. Notable strengths include a claimed listing and accessible phone number, while the description is already competitive and photos are strong.

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
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 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 categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Bella Hair Salon shows an average health score on Google reviews with room for improvement in engagement. The key takeaway is steady rating strength and a good response base, but the listing would benefit from higher engagement and more reviews to bolster confidence and reach.

Your hours against demand

Bella Hair Salon's opening hours largely match local demand for weekend and midweek late-morning peaks, with clear alignment on Saturday 11am-1pm and Tuesday 11am-12pm. However, notable gaps occur on Monday lunchtime and parts of Sunday when searches remain high but the salon is closed. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, indicating efficient use of published hours overall.
