Not quite right? Let's sort it

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Canterbury Cutz shows very low overall health on its Google Business Listing, at 0.2 out of 10, indicating significant missing information. The most important findings are that the listing lacks a website link, phone number and claimed status, and has a limited description and few photos. Strengths include a complete address and a main image, plus open-for-business status.

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

Canterbury Cutz shows very low overall health on Google reviews, with a health score of 0.8 out of 10. This indicates notable dissatisfaction among customers, and potential clients may be cautious about engaging. The business has not responded to any reviews, which weakens trust. Encouraging happy customers to leave reviews and addressing negative feedback promptly are key next steps.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

1
Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
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
Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Canterbury Cutz has no recorded opening hours, so alignment with local demand cannot be measured directly. Without published hours, the business is effectively closed in the model during peak search windows - a likely missed opportunity - and it cannot be assessed for being open during low-demand periods. Adding accurate hours will reveal where opening times match Christchurch demand and where to adjust.
