01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Colombo Nails & Beauty shows a low overall health score for its Google Business Listing at 2.2 out of 10. The listing currently has a complete address, a visible phone number and claimed status, indicating basic accuracy. Key strengths include the presence of a listing title and open-for-business status, while the main gaps are missing a website link and a logo, plus a simple description that needs refinement.

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
    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.

Your reviews

Colombo Nails & Beauty shows a cautious overall health score of 5.7 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in Google reviews. The strongest findings are the outstanding Google Business Rating Confidence, top-10% star rating, and a high total of reviews, which confirm solid customer satisfaction and social proof.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.
  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Where customers find you

Colombo Nails & Beauty shows a solid health level with room to grow. The strongest current finding is the outstanding Facebook presence, supported by a well-maintained Fresha listing; both help sustain steady local visibility. A notable opportunity is to expand on TikTok and LinkedIn, while Neighbourly and NoSecretSalon listings can improve local 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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/colombo-nails-beauty-colombo-street-christchurch-rwrVjE) 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

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 3
    Where your page link pointsYour page points customers at a booking system or directory rather than a site of your own.
