Your Google listing

HairBeauty Eastgate shows strong health on Google Business Listing with robust completeness and verified control. The most notable findings are a claimed listing with a visible phone number and a website link, plus an open-for-business status that aligns with real availability for customers.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

HairBeauty Eastgate shows an above-average health score of 6.5 out of 10 in Google reviews, indicating decent overall review performance. The most notable finding is a strong listing presence with reviews in the top 10% of the local market, which supports social proof. Additionally, the business has a solid review response rate, better than a quarter of peers, helping customer trust.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 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

HairBeauty Eastgate shows very high overall health in Google Maps search with a score of 8.9 out of 10, indicating strong visibility locally and city-wide. The strongest opportunities lie in sustaining aggregate performance that is already above the local median and continuing to push borough presence to reach top performers, especially in Linwood and surrounding suburbs.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

HairBeauty Eastgate shows strong social presence with a health score of 7.3 out of 10. The most important takeaways are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, which support brand trust and customer engagement, and a fully updated Fresha profile to attract new clients. TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly and NoSecretSalon presence are opportunities to improve.

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 can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/hair-beauty-eastgate-christchurch-eastgate-shopping-centre-next-to-countdown-corner-buckleys-road-and-linwood-avenue-vhho4u0x) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

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.
  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.
  • 2
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

HairBeauty Eastgate shows an above-average on-page health with a overall score of 5.8 out of 10. Key strengths include a valid favicon, a fast page under 256KB, a relevant meta description and title tag, and secure content over HTTPS. The biggest area to address is the missing meta description, which affects click-through rates, plus opportunities to further improve render-blocking resources and avoid frames.

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 file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

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
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 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.
