01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Jimcuts Barbershop shows a low overall health on Google Business Listing, with a 1.6 out of 10. This indicates multiple gaps to improve visibility and customer contact. Strengths include a claimed listing, a complete address, a main image, and an open-for-business status. The top opportunities focus on adding a website link, phone number, and refining the description to mid-range quality.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 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.

Where you show up on the map

Jimcuts Barbershop shows an above-average health score for Google Maps search at 6.9/10. Overall health indicates decent visibility and room for continued growth. The strongest top keywords reveal high relevance for local areas, especially barber shop in edgeware and mairehau, with other suburbs also performing well.

Strengths

    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Jimcuts Barbershop shows a below-average social presence health, with notable strength on Facebook but weaker overall reach. The strongest finding is a very high trust score on the Facebook profile and a solid Fresha listing. Primary opportunities focus on expanding TikTok activity, claiming GrabOne and Neighbourly listings, and improving Instagram trust to better connect with local 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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/jimcuts-barbershop-barbadoes-street-christchurch-0qNDog) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search alone, with no link from your own website and nothing on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Jimcuts Barbershop presents an average on-page SEO health, with a score of 5.5 out of 10. The current state shows missing foundational elements that limit visibility, notably the homepage lacks a meta description and a title tag. A favicon is also absent, and page load times exceed 3 seconds. Improving these would provide a clearer baseline and better user experience.

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.

How people find you on Google

Health of the Website Traffic for Jimcuts Barbershop sits at 5.5 out of 10, indicating average performance. Key findings show almost no organic traffic value and no paid traffic activity, with none of the domain's organic keywords ranking in the top 100. Focused content, on-page SEO, and a small paid test could begin to improve visibility and click-through.

Your hours against demand

Jimcuts Barbershop's opening schedule aligns with several high-demand windows, notably weekday mid-morning and Saturday midday peaks. Strong alignment appears at Tuesday 11-12 and Saturday 11-1, when search demand is high. However, the shop is closed during several popular Monday lunchtime hours and Sunday 3pm, representing clear missed opportunities. Closing during those times could leave revenue on the table.
