01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hairway Barbers @Savanna Hair Solutions- Northlink shows a below-average Google Business Listing health score with clear potential, especially for a website link. Current strengths include a claimed listing, open-for-business status, a listing title, a phone number, and a full address, which support easy contact and visibility 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
    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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Your reviews

Hairway Barbers @Savanna Hair Solutions- Northlink shows a high health score with strong customer satisfaction and solid review engagement. The overall health is 7.7 out of 10, indicating good performance. The most important finding is a top-10% star rating that signals excellent customer experience, supported by growing total reviews and a strong response rate by the business.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer nearly all your reviews, which is more than almost anyone in this market, and a customer reading the page sees a two-sided conversation rather than a scoreboard.

We saw the barber flag and popped in on the off chance of a cut and were taken right in. So friendly and listened to what my son asked for and did an excellent job at a very good price. We will definitely be going back.

Where you show up on the map

Hairway Barbers @Savanna Hair Solutions- Northlink shows mid-range health in Google Maps with a 5.6/10 overall health.

Opportunities focus on strengthening the aggregate Maps presence and consolidating a stronger borough listing to move into the local midpoint.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Hairway Barbers @Savanna Hair Solutions- Northlink shows a low health score for citations and social presence, with key opportunities across Instagram, TikTok, NoSecretSalon, LinkedIn personal profiles and LinkedIn Company pages. Highlights include strong Facebook and Neighbourly presence and a notable Fresha listing. Focus should be on establishing missing social profiles and maintaining existing directory entries to improve trust and local visibility.

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 can see the Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/savanna-hair-solutions-579419614) 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.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3

Your hours against demand

Hairway Barbers @Savanna Hair Solutions- Northlink has very low alignment between opening hours and local demand. The business is not open during any high-demand city windows; 71 peak-hours are missed, notably Saturday midday and Tuesday late morning. No hours are both open and popular, and there are no open low-demand hours. Adjusting weekend and weekday late-morning hours could capture more customers.
