01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Ikabeauty shows a low overall Google Business Listing health (2.5/10) with clear room for improvements. Key strengths include claimed status, a recognised title, a visible phone number, and a full address. The most important findings are the missing website link and logo, plus ongoing gains in description and photos. Overall listing completeness is the main driver of visibility.

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

Ikabeauty shows a very low Google Business Health score with limited customer reviews. The strongest finding is the need to build trust by increasing reviews and engagement. Key opportunities include improving the rating confidence, establishing a visible star rating, and raising the response rate to reviews.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Ikabeauty's Google Maps health score is 0.8 out of 10, indicating very low visibility. The strongest performance is in Edgeware-related terms, with the keywords beautician in edgeware and beauty salon in edgeware ranking at position 16. The main opportunity is to lift both the aggregate and borough results to improve local searches for Christchurch brides and clients.

Where customers find you

Ikabeauty shows a marginal health score of 5.6/10 for social presence and directory visibility. The strongest asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile, supporting solid community connections. Fresha is well-placed but needs ongoing updates. Key opportunities lie in boosting TikTok trust and increasing Neighbourly visibility, while leveraging the high-trust Instagram profile.

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
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 3
    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

  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.
  • ✓
    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
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    Where your page link pointsYour page points customers at a booking system or directory rather than a site of your own.
  • 3
    A cover photoThe banner across the top of your page is blank, which is the first thing a visitor meets and the quickest way for a working business to look half set up.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Ikabeauty's published hours align well with key local demand windows, covering late-morning and mid-afternoon peaks on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and strong Saturday afternoon coverage. However the studio is closed during several evening peaks on Wednesday and Thursday plus Saturday early evening, representing missed bookings. Total weekly open hours match high-demand slots, with no low-demand open hours, suggesting hours could be slightly extended into selected evening peaks.
