01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

City Nails & Beauty shows an above-average health score of 6.1 out of 10, indicating solid overall setup with room to improve. The strongest point is that the listing is claimed and verified, with an active website link and visible phone number. A readable, basic description exists, but refining the description could push it into the top quartile.

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
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Today I really want to take a little time to write a proper review for the nail salon I just experienced. Normally I’ve done my nails at quite a few different places, but this time I was genuinely impressed because the service here was trul...

Where you show up on the map

City Nails & Beauty shows an above-average health score of 7.1/10 in Google Maps search, indicating solid local visibility with room to improve. The strongest positions are for beauty and nail-related terms in Christchurch Centre, including top ranks for beauty salon in christchurch centre and eyelash salon in christchurch centre. A key opportunity is to lift borough-level searches where maps presence is currently minimal.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

City Nails & Beauty shows an overall health score of 3.4 out of 10 for social presence, which is below average. The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile and a presence on GrabOne. Primary opportunities lie in building activity on Instagram and TikTok, establishing a LinkedIn profile for the owner, and boosting Neighbourly and NoSecretSalon listings to improve local awareness.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/city-nails-beauty-christchurch-205-high-street-ydz77df6) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

City Nails & Beauty's opening hours largely match Christchurch demand, with 58 well-aligned peak hours and no low-demand open hours. Strong alignment occurs Thursday 4pm, Tuesday 11am, Wednesday 3pm and Saturday 1-2pm. Missed opportunities include several Monday mid-morning and midday hours and Tuesday 9am when local search activity is high. Consider selectively opening or adding appointments in those slots.

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.
