01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Create Hairdressing shows a very healthy Google Business Listing, with a health score of 9.0 out of 10. The listing is claimed and verified, with an open-for-business status and a direct phone number and website link. The description is strong and helps differentiate the business, while photo count remains competitive. Focusing on the description could help reach 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
    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.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.
  • 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.

Your reviews

Create Hairdressing shows a very high overall health score for Google Business reviews and strong engagement. The most important findings are the top 10% star rating and the solid review count, alongside a high response rate. These factors indicate strong customer satisfaction and active engagement with reviewers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer nearly all your reviews, which is more than almost anyone in this market, and a customer reading the page sees a two-sided conversation rather than a scoreboard.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for Create Hairdressing is 0.8 out of 10, indicating a very low overall visibility on Google Maps. The strongest finding is that the business already appears in some broader maps queries, showing a starting point for growth. A key opportunity lies in boosting local presence in the borough and improving rankings for local searches.

Where customers find you

Citations & Social Presence shows a solid overall health with 7.3/10 (High). The strongest fixed strengths are the Instagram and Facebook profiles, both listed as outstanding, plus a Fresha directory listing that boosts visibility beyond the main profile.

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.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    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
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 3
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Create Hairdressing shows a very high on-page SEO health score with strong foundations already in place. The main strengths include an accurate title tag, a valid favicon, fast page load, a compact page size and an H1 tag that signals content clearly. The two most impactful findings relate to meta description length and the potential to reduce render-blocking resources.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.

How people find you on Google

Create Hairdressing shows an above-average website traffic health with a 6.7/10, indicating capacity for growth through targeted paid and organic efforts. The top findings include no measurable paid traffic yet and limited paid spend, alongside solid organic traffic value already above the 25th percentile.

Strengths

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

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

Create Hairdressing's opening hours partially match local demand. Strong alignment appears on weekday lunchtime hours, especially Tuesday 11am-2pm and Wednesday 12pm, which coincide with high search activity. Missed opportunities occur over the weekend and key weekday midday slots, notably Saturday 11am-1pm, Friday 11am and Monday 12pm when the business is closed during peak demand. No low-demand open hours were identified; consider modestly extending Saturday or Friday mid-mornings or adding a Monday lunch slot to capture more clients while monitoring appointment uptake.
