Your reviews

The Google Business health for Creative hair lounge is very high, reflecting strong engagement and customer satisfaction. The report highlights two key strengths: an excellent star rating in the top 10% and an outstanding review response rate in the top 10%. The main opportunity is to keep momentum on total reviews and rating confidence to move toward the upper quartiles and beyond.

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.
  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top two 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 confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where customers find you

Creative hair lounge shows mixed health for its social presence, with a 5.1 out of 10 overall. The strongest current asset is a Facebook profile with very high trust, indicating a solid baseline. Key opportunity areas include adding a TikTok profile and improving Neighbourly and Fresha presence to reach local and NZ-based audiences.

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 could not find an active Fresha Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

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 pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.
  • 3
    Where your page link pointsYour page points customers at a booking system or directory rather than a site of your own.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Creative hair lounge's opening hours partially match local demand: the salon is open during several strong Saturday and Tuesday midday peaks (Sat 11am-1pm, Tue 11am-12pm), but is closed for multiple high-demand late‑afternoon slots (Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 4pm and Sun 3pm). Total weekly open hours cover peak periods (36 hours) but also leave 35 popular hours missed. No hours appear open during low-demand windows.
