01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Elite Hair & Extensions has a below-average Google Business health score, indicating room for optimisation. The strongest current asset is that the listing is claimed and the address is complete, with a functioning website link and explicit open status. The key issue is the absence of a phone number, a logo, and limited, yet improving, description and photos.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 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

Elite Hair & Extensions shows a high Google review health, with a 7.7/10 health score. The strongest signal is a top 10% star rating, reflecting very high customer satisfaction. Ongoing progress is seen in engagement and review collection, with room to grow both the total number of reviews and the response rate.

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 confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.

Where you show up on the map

Elite Hair & Extensions shows a very high health in Maps search, with a 9.6/10. The business already sits in the top 10% city-wide and holds several top rankings for key hair extension search terms in Halswell and surrounding areas, indicating strong local visibility and relevance to clients seeking extensions.

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Elite Hair & Extensions shows an overall health score of 5.6 out of 10, indicating average overall presence. The strongest achievement is a high-trust Facebook profile and a well-maintained Fresha listing, supporting visibility and credibility. Key opportunities include adding a TikTok presence and updating Yellow and NoSecretSalon listings to broaden reach and consistency.

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.

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
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 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 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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.

    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

Elite Hair & Extensions shows a mixed alignment between opening hours and local demand. The salon is open during high-demand midday peaks on Wednesday (11-12pm) and Saturday (11am-1pm), which matches customer searches. However, notable missed opportunities exist: closed Tuesday 11am-2pm and Monday 12pm, all popular windows. There are no low-demand open hours, so wasted hours are not evident.
