01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Love and Colour Hair Studio shows a below-average Google Business health score with solid foundational elements in place. The listing excels in having a claimed status, accurate address, a visible title, and a direct phone number, while opportunities exist to add a website link and further improve the description.

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 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 this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Love and Colour Hair Studio shows a steady overall health score of 6.6 out of 10, indicating above-average performance in Google reviews. The top finding is a brilliant Google star rating, placing the salon in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. A second strength is a growing presence in total reviews and a solid response rate above many peers.

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
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

Love and Colour Hair Studio shows a fair overall health on Google Maps with room to improve its broad visibility. The business ranks well for key local terms, including "hair salon in hoon hay" in position 2 and "hair salon in westmorland" at position 3, indicating solid local appeal. Focus remains on boosting aggregate maps visibility and suburb presence.

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Love and Colour Hair Studio shows an above-average health score of 6.0 out of 10 in the Citations & Social Presence area, indicating a decent baseline presence but room to improve. The strongest finding is a very high trust Facebook profile, with solid local directory visibility via Fresha and Yellow Directory. TikTok and LinkedIn presence are gaps to address.

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.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    What your page says about youFew intros in this market run as full as yours, and it sits close to the limit that length has stopped being a lever.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Love and Colour Hair Studio's published hours align with many local peak search times, especially mid-morning and early afternoon sessions. Open slots match several high-demand periods on Tuesday and Saturday, but the salon misses popular midday windows on Monday and a busy Saturday afternoon and Sunday late-afternoon. Overall timing is mixed and could be nudged toward better commercial alignment.
