Your Google listing

Lavish by Kirsty Lorraine shows an excellent overall Google Business Listing health, with a score of 9.6 out of 10. The listing is well-optimised, claimed, and provides essential contact details and a website link, supporting easy customer access. The top finding is a strong listing presence; the primary improvement area is adding fresh, high-quality photos to move past the local midpoint.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Lavish by Kirsty Lorraine shows an above-average health score with a solid rating momentum. The overall health score is 6.0 out of 10, indicating decent performance in Google reviews. The key achievement highlighted is a top-10% star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. Ongoing progress in responses and total reviews supports continued trust among clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Kirsty is an excellent stylist and beautician. The nail art she does is superb and she's just super lovely to talk to! I couldn't recommend her more highly. She's thoroughly professional and her new home salon is gorgeous.

Thank you so much Katherine! I love having you in salon and appreciate you following me out to my new space. I love our chats and I look forward to our next catch up. Kirsty

Where customers find you

Lavish by Kirsty Lorraine shows a solid health score of 4.8 out of 10, indicating average overall health and room for improvement. Key strengths include a very strong Facebook presence and a well-listed Fresha profile that supports local discovery. The business should maintain these assets while pursuing the top opportunities to reach new audiences.

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.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe could not find an active Fresha Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Lavish by Kirsty Lorraine's opening hours partially match local demand but overall temporal alignment is low. The studio is open during 21 well-aligned peak hours but remains closed for 56 high-demand hours across the week. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so current hours are efficient where open, yet several Saturday and weekday peaks are missed and worth reconsidering.
