01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Chere Cherie's Google Business Listing shows a healthy profile with a clear phone number and website link, and the listing is claimed and open-for-business. The overall health score is 7.9 out of 10, indicating strong completeness. A key finding is the lack of a logo, and photos are present but should be expanded to improve visibility.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 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.

Where you show up on the map

Chere Cherie shows a below-average health score of 4.1 out of 10 for Google Maps search performance. The business ranks well for several hair-related terms in Christchurch and Bryndwr, indicating solid topical relevance, but overall visibility remains limited. A steady rise in the borough presence suggests gradual improvement in local discovery.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Chere Cherie shows a healthy overall presence with a health score of 7.8 out of 10. The most notable findings are strong Instagram and Facebook profiles, and a well-maintained Fresha listing that supports local salons. Opportunities include expanding on Yellow Directory visibility and establishing NoSecretSalon and LinkedIn profiles to broaden 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/chere-cherie-christchurch-155-condell-avenue-mutgdta3) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.

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
    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.
  • 2
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro carries more detail than most pages in this market and is doing the work of a short landing page for the visitors who never reach your website.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Chere Cherie shows solid on-page health with a score of 7.3 out of 10. The site already has a favicon, a fast load time under 3 seconds, a compact page under 256KB, an H1 tag, and secure HTTPS resources. The two most impactful findings are to improve the meta description length and adjust the title tag length to better match search intent while maintaining existing strengths.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

How people find you on Google

The Website Traffic health for Chere Cherie is 6.6 out of 10, which is above average. Key findings show opportunity to start a small, targeted paid campaign to establish measurable paid traffic and a basic landing page approach, while continuing to improve organic traffic through SEO fundamentals and keyword refinement.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Chere Cherie's published hours partly match local demand: several weekday midday slots align well with strong customer interest, but notable weekend and Monday lunchtime peaks are missed. Total weekly open hours are 33, with 33 well-aligned peak hours and 38 missed high-demand hours. No low-demand open hours were identified, so the issue is gaps during popular windows rather than wasted open time.
