01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Happy Haircuts shows a below-average overall health score on the Google Business Listing at 2.9 out of 10. The listing has solid basics already, including a claimed listing, open-for-business status, a working phone number and full address. The most notable opportunities are adding a website link and a logo to boost visibility and branding, while the description and photos are already progressing well.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.

Your reviews

Happy Haircuts shows a low overall Google review health score, indicating there is room for improvement in how the business is perceived online. The strongest recent evidence is a top-10% star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction, but engagement with reviews remains low and the total number of reviews is still growing.

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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    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

Happy Haircuts shows low overall health in Citations & Social Presence with a 2.3/10. The strongest existing assets are a high-trust Facebook profile, a GrabOne listing, and presence on Neighbourly, Fresha and Yellow Directory.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Happy Haircuts largely aligns opening hours with local demand, with 48 well-aligned weekly peak hours and no low-demand open hours. Peak Saturdays (11am-1pm) and midweek lunch (Tuesday 11am-12pm) are covered. However, notable missed demand occurs on Sundays around midday to late afternoon and Wednesday at 5pm. Consider modestly extending hours into those Sunday midday/afternoon slots and trialling a Wednesday late-afternoon opening when demand is proven.
