01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hair by Christine shows a solid health level with room for improvement. The listing is claimed, has a phone number and full address, and Open status is correct, supporting trust and accessibility. The most notable findings are the verified listing and complete address, plus strong positioning on photos and description. The key opportunity is adding a website link to drive online visits.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Hair by Christine shows a solid overall health score of 4.3 out of 10 on Google reviews, reflecting room for improvement in engagement and review volume. The top achievement is a stellar star rating in the top 10% for customer satisfaction, indicating strong service quality. Key opportunities include building a response rate to reviews and maintaining momentum in review count and confidence.

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 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
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

Hair by Christine shows a below-average overall health score of 3.0 out of 10 on Google Maps search, indicating limited visibility overall. The strongest opportunity is to improve aggregate maps presence, building from current spots in broader queries. The suburb/borough score has risen but remains below the local midpoint, suggesting steady work is needed to lift local visibility.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.
  • 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

Hair by Christine shows a health score of 4.3 out of 10, indicating average health for social presence and local directory listings. The strongest recent asset is a very high-trust Facebook Profile, supported by a Fresha and Neighbourly presence. Opportunities exist on Instagram, TikTok, and Yellow Pages listings to improve visibility and trust with potential clients.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/hair-by-christine-eldridge-street-christchurch-EvEzWq) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.
  • ✓
    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 pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    Where your page link pointsYour page points customers at a booking system or directory rather than a site of your own.
  • 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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hair by Christine's opening hours align well with several clear local demand peaks, notably midweek midday and Saturday late morning to early afternoon. The salon is closed during several high-demand Tuesday lunchtime hours (11am-3pm), which represent missed bookings. There are no low-demand open hours, so any added Tuesday openings would be additional capacity rather than shifting existing coverage. A trial Tuesday midday service or targeted promotion for those hours could capture unmet demand.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
