Not quite right? Let's sort it
01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The overall health on Google Business Listing is below average, with a score of 2.9 out of 10. The listing shows a functional title, claimed status, open-for-business status, a phone number and a full address, but important gaps exist. The most notable findings are the absence of a website link, a missing logo, and limited photos, which together constrain customer engagement.

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 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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

The overall health for Jeff O'Leary Mens Haircutting is 4.2 out of 10, which is below average. This signals limited Google review momentum. The strongest finding is that the listing has a solid base of customers leaving reviews and a reasonable response rate that shows engagement, while overall volume remains mid-range and needs growth.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Jeff has been cutting my hair for over 30 years now. He's friendly and always good for a chat, often sport related (rugby, cricket, sailing). His prices are very good ($25 for a dry cut) and there's often no wait. Recommended!

Response from the owner

Thank you very much. Your feedvack is very much appreciated. Hope to see you again soon.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for Jeff O'Leary Mens Haircutting is 2.5 out of 10, indicating low visibility in Google Maps. Top findings show the business ranks well for a few city-wide barber-related terms, and has a stronger presence in St Martins and Waltham. Local borough visibility is minimal, with room to improve local search prominence.

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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Health in this report is rated low, with a score of 1.8 out of 10. This indicates substantial work needed to establish presence across social platforms and directories. The most impactful findings are the strong Facebook presence and existing Fresha and Yellow listings, which provide a base to build on. Addressing missing Instagram and TikTok profiles will widen reach with local customers.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Jeff O'Leary Mens Haircutting is open for 40 weekly hours and matches several weekday lunch peaks, notably Tuesday 11am-2pm and Wednesday 12pm. However, the shop is closed through high-demand Saturday late-morning and early-afternoon windows (10am-2pm), representing clear missed trade. There are no open hours during low-demand periods, so current hours are efficient but could consider limited Saturday openings to capture weekend demand.
