Your Google listing

Hair On The Mews @ Albany St shows a below-average overall health on Google listing with a 3.3/10. The key strengths include a claimed listing, visible title, a complete address, and a listed phone number, which support clear fundamentals for customers. Opportunities primarily focus on adding a website link and more visuals to improve engagement and brand presence.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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

Your hours against demand

Hair On The Mews @ Albany St has limited alignment with local demand. Open hours cover several midweek midday peaks, notably Wednesday and Friday late-morning to mid-afternoon, but the salon is closed across many high-demand weekend and Tuesday lunchtime hours. Total weekly open hours are low (27), with 27 well-aligned peak hours and 44 missed high-demand hours-this reduces the temporal health score to 2.2.
