01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Embrace Skin & Beauty Rolleston shows an above-average health score of 6.1 out of 10, indicating the listing is functional with room to improve. The business has strong basic infrastructure, including a claimed listing, a visible title, a website link, a phone number, and current open status. Photos are at or above median, but the description should be refined to compete with peers.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.

I had an incredible deep tissue massage with Zoe at Embrace Skin & Beauty. She was professional, attentive, and really took the time to understand what areas needed the most focus. The pressure was perfect, and I left feeling completely ref...

The top results indicate dominance in laser hair removal and related beauty services in Sydenham and nearby areas.

Where customers find you

Embrace Skin & Beauty Rolleston shows above-average health in citations and social presence, with strong Facebook and Instagram profiles. The top opportunities focus on expanding TikTok activity, improving Fresha listings, and establishing a LinkedIn Company Page to boost professional visibility and trust among customers. Prioritising these areas could widen reach while leveraging existing strong platforms.

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

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.
  • 2
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageMore customers have recommended you than at most pages in this market, and depth like that reads as a business that has been doing this a while.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Embrace Skin & Beauty Rolleston shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 8.6 out of 10, indicating strong technical readiness for search engines. The business benefits from a well-structured title tag and a relevant meta description, plus a visible H1 tag and a valid favicon. Primary opportunities focus on meta description length, avoiding frames, and ensuring the text-to-page size ratio remains balanced.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

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
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 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.

Your hours against demand

Embrace Skin & Beauty Rolleston shows solid alignment with local demand at key times: Tuesday 11am, Wednesday 3pm, Thursday 4pm and Saturday early afternoon are open during clear peak windows. Several popular hours are currently missed, especially Sunday early afternoons and Saturday 4pm. No hours are open during low-demand windows, so closing adjustments should focus on adding coverage for missed high-demand slots rather than trimming hours.
