01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Freya Cosmetics shows a strong foundational presence on Google Business, with a solid health score but room to improve brand visuals. The most notable findings are that the listing is claimed and verified, includes a website link and a phone number, and shows open status, yet lacks a logo. Photo volume is improving, while the description has moved into the lower to middle range.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

Freya Cosmetics shows a mixed Google review health score of 5.4/10, indicating average overall health. The strongest finding is an excellent star rating in the top 10% for customer satisfaction, while growth potential lies in increasing the review response rate. The business already benefits from solid Trust, with a well-regarded rating among local peers.

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
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    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

Freya Cosmetics shows solid overall health with a 7.0 out of 10. The strongest assets are very high-trust profiles on Facebook and Instagram, which support brand credibility and steady engagement. A notable opportunity exists in enhancing presence on local directories such as Neighbourly and Yellow to boost local visibility.

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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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 youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.
  • 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
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Freya Cosmetics shows an above-average on-page health score of 6.7 out of 10. The site already has a valid favicon, a relevant title tag, sufficient text content, a fast load time under 3 seconds and an SEO-friendly URL. Key opportunities include adding a meta description, refining title tag length, addressing mixed content, and reducing render-blocking resources to improve perceived speed.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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 descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 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

Freya Cosmetics shows an above-average health score for Website Traffic, with room to improve both paid and organic visibility. The biggest opportunities lie in starting a small paid campaign to establish initial paid traffic and in refining organic efforts to push SERP presence and keyword rankings further.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

    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.

    Search terms you rank forYour site appears for fewer search terms than most businesses here, so there are only a handful of ways for someone to come across you.

Your hours against demand

Freya Cosmetics matches several midweek demand peaks, operating Tuesday mornings and midday as well as Wednesday mid-afternoon when local searches are strong. Significant missed demand appears on Thursday late afternoon and Saturday early afternoon when the studio is closed during popular windows. No open hours fall in low-demand periods. Adjusting a couple of closing times to capture Thursday 4-5pm and Saturday 1-2pm could increase bookings without large extra hours.
