Your Google listing

iLush Beaute shows solid overall health with room for refinement, particularly in the listing description. The business benefits from a claimed listing and a visible website link, plus a working phone number and open-for-business status, which supports customer inquiries and trust.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where customers find you

iLush Beaute shows a high overall health with a 7.9/10, indicating strong social presence but room to grow in underutilised platforms. The most impactful findings are the outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles and a well-present Fresha listing that can drive new bookings. Gaps exist on TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly and NoSecretSalon, offering clear growth opportunities.

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/ilush-beaute-denise-crescent-christchurch-G5X7J1) found via: Google search results.

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

iLush Beaute shows a fair overall on-page SEO health score of 5.7/10, indicating room for improvement but existing strengths. The site already has an H1 tag, a relevant title tag, adequate text content, an SEO-friendly URL, and a page size under 256KB. Key opportunities include improving title and meta description lengths, adding a favicon, and fixing mixed content for HTTPS security.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.

How people find you on Google

The website health for iLush Beaute shows an above-average score of 6.0 out of 10 for traffic health. Organic traffic value and total are improving, but paid traffic remains largely absent, limiting visibility. Opportunities focus on starting small paid campaigns while continuing strong SEO foundation and improving navigation to sustain momentum.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

iLush Beaute's opening hours partly match local demand: several midweek and weekend peaks are covered, but Tuesday mid-day and Thursday evenings show clear gaps. Strong alignment occurs on Wednesday 3pm, Thursday 4-5pm and Saturday 1-2pm. Missed opportunities include Tuesday 10-1pm and Thursday 6pm when searches are high but the salon is closed. Consider modestly extending hours into those windows.
