01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hair&sea salon shows a strong overall Google Business Listing health score of 8.6 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and consistency. The most notable findings are a verified listing with a visible website link and phone number, plus an open-for-business status that reflects current availability for customers. The listing already performs well on photo count.

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
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Hair&sea salon shows a strong overall health score and solid engagement on Google reviews. The business already earns a top decile star rating and is steadily building review volume, with engagement through responses improving over time. The combination of high satisfaction and growing feedback supports continued trust from customers while indicating further room to collect more reviews and elevate responsiveness.

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 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.
  • 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
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.

Becs is welcoming, and a true professional at what she does. Love the relaxed vibe of her salon, & how I always feel at ease with Becs doing my hair. Her scalp massages are amazing and my hair looks much shinier and healthy.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hair&sea salon.'s opening hours show mixed alignment with local demand. The salon is open at several strong Saturday and Friday midday peaks, matching key customer search times. However, it is closed during multiple high-demand weekday lunchtimes, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday. There are no low-demand open hours, suggesting no obvious wasted hours, but weekday midday openings could improve commercial returns.
