Your Google listing

Hush Hairstyling shows solid Google Business health with a 7.1 out of 10, indicating above-average presence. The listing has essential basics: an active status, a website link, a claimed listing, a visible title, and a phone number. The strongest current asset is the complete listing with contact details and open/closed status, while the main opportunity lies in refining the description to rank higher than peers.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 3
    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.

Where customers find you

Hush Hairstyling shows a very high health score of 9.6, indicating strong presence across key platforms. The top finding is solid Instagram and Facebook profiles driving credibility, with Fresha listing supporting ongoing customer reach. Opportunities exist mainly around social profiles and professional branding, particularly TikTok, LinkedIn, NoSecretSalon, and LinkedIn Company Page enhancements.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/hush-hairstyling-withells-road-christchurch-xZBGN7) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search alone, with nothing on your own website or your Google listing pointing at it.
  • 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.

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 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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 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.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageMore customers have recommended you than at most pages in this market, and depth like that reads as a business that has been doing this a while.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Hush Hairstyling shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 9.5 out of 10, indicating strong technical alignment with search engines. The most notable findings include an ideal Title Tag length, a valid favicon, fast page load under 3 seconds, a compact page size, and a present H1 tag. Opportunities focus on refining the meta description, maintaining top-quartile on-page SEO, and adjusting text-to-page size ratio.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

Your hours against demand

Hush Hairstyling's opening hours partly match local demand: strong alignment during weekday mid-mornings (Tuesday 11-12) and Saturday late morning to early afternoon (Saturday 11-13). Significant missed opportunities exist around Monday midday (11-13), Saturday 14:00 and Sunday 15:00 when local searches are high but the salon is closed. No low-demand open hours were identified, so wasted open time appears minimal.
