01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hi Tek Hair Studio shows a below-average health score for its Google Business Listing, with room to improve core details. Highlights include a claimed listing, an open-for-business status, a visible phone number and a full address. Key opportunities focus on adding a website link, expanding the business description, and increasing the photo collection to raise overall listing health.

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 lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

Hi Tek Hair Studio shows an overall health of 4.7 out of 10 in Google reviews, indicating below-average performance but with room for improvement. The strongest signals are a solid response rate and rising review count, while the star rating is improving but still below the midpoint. Focused attention on customer experience and engagement could help lift overall confidence.

Top three opportunities

    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.

    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.
  • 3

Where you show up on the map

Hi Tek Hair Studio shows an overall health score of 4.7 out of 10 for Google Maps performance, indicating room for improvement in visibility. The top finding is that the business already ranks well for several Halswell and Aidanfield related terms, especially unisex and hair salon queries, with positions around 4 to 10. A second key finding is steady borough growth, suggesting ongoing momentum in local maps results.

Strengths

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

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Hi Tek Hair Studio shows a low overall health in Citations & Social Presence with a 1.8/10. It has strong social proof on Facebook and a well-presented Fresha presence, but opportunities exist to expand on TikTok and Instagram, and to claim local listings such as GrabOne and Neighbourly to raise local visibility and engagement with customers.

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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/hi-tek-halswell-hair-studio-579498836) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/hi-tek-hair-studio-lillian-street-christchurch-NoEALq) found via: Google search results.

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
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

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.

Your website

Hi Tek Hair Studio's on-page SEO health is low, with a 2.3 out of 10 score. The largest issues are missing meta description and title tag, no favicon, and page load times over 3 seconds. Addressing these basics will establish a baseline and improve visibility and user trust.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hi Tek Hair Studio's opening hours align with peak local demand at several midday slots, especially Tuesdays 11am-1pm and Saturdays 11am-12pm. However the salon is closed during notable lunchtime peaks on Monday and Saturday afternoons, creating missed bookings. There are no currently open hours during low-demand periods, so the primary focus should be selectively extending hours into the missed high-demand windows.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
