01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hair by Proxi shows a low overall health on Google Business Listing with room for improvement in links, description, photos and logo. It already has claimed status, an open-for-business display, a listed phone number and a full address, which are positives for credibility and accessibility.

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 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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Hair by Proxi shows very low overall health on Google reviews, at 1.3 out of 10. The business has a strong star rating, placing it in the top 10% for satisfaction, but it has not yet engaged with customers through responses. Key opportunities focus on increasing review volume, boosting response rate, and continuing to improve the rating 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
    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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where customers find you

Hair by Proxi shows very low health in this area, with only a strong Facebook presence and a visible Fresha listing. The key takeaway is to prioritise social profiles, especially Instagram and TikTok, to raise local visibility and trust with customers.

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
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Analysis shows no recorded opening hours, so alignment with local demand cannot be confirmed. Without hours, it is unclear whether the salon currently matches peak search windows, is closed during popular times, or is open during low-demand periods. Adding published hours will enable identification of strong alignment and missed opportunities and make it practical to adjust trading times to better match local customer patterns.
