Your Google listing

Co Lab Hair Art shows a below-average health score on Google Business Listing at 3.7 out of 10, indicating room for significant improvement. The strongest recent gains are verified listing details like claimed status, open-for-business status, a listing title, a phone number, and a full address. Key opportunities include adding a website link and refining the description for better competitiveness.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

Co Lab Hair Art shows a solid health score with room to improve in engagement and cumulative reviews.

Where customers find you

Co Lab Hair Art shows above-average health with room to grow its social and directory footprint. The strongest asset is the highly trusted Facebook presence and a solid Fresha listing, which supports current client retention and visibility. Key opportunity lies in expanding TikTok and Yellow Profile presence to attract younger customers and broader local discovery.

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/co-lab-hair-art-garlands-road-christchurch-QvE3nP) 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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Co Lab Hair Art's opening hours largely match local demand peaks, especially late morning and early afternoon on Saturdays and Tuesdays. The salon is open during high-traffic Saturday 11am-1pm and Tuesday 11am-12pm, which aligns with strong colour and cut demand. Some high-demand Monday midday and Sunday mid-afternoon slots are missed, suggesting targeted hour changes could capture more bookings.
