01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Looks Men's Salon shows an average health score and solid basics for a Google Business Listing. The listing has an open status, phone and website link, and a claimed status, which supports trust and accessibility. The top strengths include a completed listing with a working phone number and direct website link, while the lack of a logo and a mid-range description limit impact.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Looks Men's Salon shows above-average overall Google review health with a 6.3/10 health score. The business is strong on current reviews, ranking in the top 10% for both rating confidence and total reviews, indicating solid local reputation. A key gap is lack of response to any reviews, which can dampen trust among customers and potential clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating is higher than most of this market, and it is the first thing a customer reads about you.

Where you show up on the map

Looks Men's Salon in Christchurch Central City shows a low overall Maps health score of 2.6 out of 10. The business ranks for several barber-related terms across core suburbs, with top keywords including barber shop in christchurch centre and barber shop in richmond, both around position 8. Suburb-level visibility remains weak, indicating room to improve local presence.

Strengths

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

Looks Men's Salon shows solid Facebook presence and Fresha visibility, but overall health is 4.7/10. Key strengths include a very high trust Facebook profile and an active Fresha category page that boosts search visibility. Core opportunity areas focus on Instagram, TikTok, and local listings to broaden reach and attract more 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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/looks_men_s_salon) found via: Google search results.

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.

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

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Looks Men's Salon shows strong on-page health, with a high overall score of 8.2 out of 10. Its strengths include a valid favicon, fast page load under 3 seconds, a compact page size, an H1 tag, and secure HTTPS resources. The main opportunity areas involve meta description length, title tag tuning, reducing render-blocking resources, and avoiding frames, to push performance into the elite tier.

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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.

How people find you on Google

The standout findings are that organic traffic is topping the local top 10% and organic keyword coverage is also in the top 10% locally, suggesting good search relevance and audience reach. Attention should focus on minor gaps in paid traffic and sustaining organic momentum.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Looks Men's Salon's opening hours closely match local demand, with strong alignment around late-morning and early-afternoon peaks. Key busy windows are Tuesday 11am-12pm and Saturday 11am-1pm. There are no missed high‑demand hours and no open hours during low demand, so published hours are efficient. The salon should maintain these hours and promote peak slots to maximise bookings.
