01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

From $20 Haircuts shows a healthy Google Business Listing with clear contact details and a verified claimed status, but the health score is 4.7/10, indicating room for improvement. The listing already provides a website link, a title, and a phone number, and it shows the business status as open. Notable gaps include a missing logo and a concise description.

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
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

From $20 Haircuts shows an overall health score of 4.2 out of 10, which is below average. The strongest finding is a solid base of reviews, with the business listing in the top 10% for total reviews. A key opportunity is to start replying to reviews to boost trust, while continuing to grow the review count to lift overall confidence.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

From $20 Haircuts shows modest overall visibility in Google Maps with an overall health score of 3.3 out of 10. The strongest signals come from ranking in north Christchurch areas like Northcote-Papanui and Strowan, where the business appears as a barber or unisex hairdresser. There is room to improve both city-wide and borough presence to lift local discovery.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

From $20 Haircuts shows a very low health score for Citations & Social Presence, with limited active profiles. The strongest recent finding is a well-maintained Fresha profile and an associated directory listing, which can help local visibility. Opportunities lie in establishing Facebook, Instagram, and Neighbourly profiles to boost trust and discoverability.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/from-20-haircuts-papanui-road-christchurch-znZyP2) found via: Google search results.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

From $20 Haircuts shows a solid on-page SEO health, with a score of 7.4 out of 10. The site benefits from a valid favicon, fast load under 3 seconds and a clear H1 tag, but it should optimise meta description and title tag lengths to improve click-throughs.

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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.

How people find you on Google

From $20 Haircuts shows a healthy overall website traffic profile with an above-average health score of 6.9 out of 10. The strongest near-term opportunity is to start paying for targeted traffic, with small campaigns and well-designed landing pages to capture conversions; paid traffic metrics need to be established. Organic performance is improving but requires continued content and link-building.

Strengths

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

Your hours against demand

From $20 Haircuts shows clear alignment with local demand at several mid-day peaks, especially Tuesday 11am-12pm and Saturday 11am-1pm, with 45 well-aligned peak hours and no low-demand open hours. However, 26 high-demand hours are missed when the salon is closed, mainly on Sunday afternoons. Adjusting a few hours on weekends could capture more family bookings while keeping weekday mid-day coverage intact.
