01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Choice Hair and Beauty shows a very low overall health score on Google Business Listing, with room for rapid improvement through claimed status, a website link, a stronger description, a logo, and more photos. Current strengths include having a listed phone number, full address, a main image, and open-for-business status, which help customer accessibility. Emphasis should be on completing the basics to enable customers to find and contact the salon.

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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.

Your reviews

Where customers find you

Choice Hair and Beauty shows below-average overall health with scope for growth in local directory and social profiles. The strongest asset is a very high trust Facebook presence, while Fresha listings support visibility. Primary opportunities lie in adding TikTok and improving Yellow Pages visibility to broaden reach among local clients.

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.

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.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/choice-hair-beauty-christchurch-153-waltham-road-g4o53co9) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 2
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Choice Hair and Beauty's opening hours largely match local demand, with strong alignment during weekday late-morning and Saturday lunchtime peaks. Weekend mid-day coverage is particularly well timed. However several evenings at 6pm across weekdays and Sunday evening are closed when searches are relatively high, representing missed bookings. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so opening-time efficiency is strong overall.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.

Where we can help

Nothing to sort here. Your hours already line up with when people are looking.
