01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Makesha's Beauty shows a solid health score with room for refinement. The listing is claimed, has a phone number and website link, and displays open status, which supports local customers seeking services. Strengths include a complete title, claimed status, and direct contact, while the current description is functionally present but still improving.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Makesha's Beauty shows low overall Google review health (2.5/10) but a strong star rating in the top 10% of the market. The two key findings are a solid star rating and a need to improve engagement and volume of reviews. The business should focus on encouraging more feedback and starting to reply to reviews to raise trust and visibility.

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 confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Top two opportunities

  • 1

  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

Makesha's Beauty shows a solid health baseline with a key focus on existing social profiles and local listings. The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook presence, while Yellow and Fresha listings support local visibility. The main area to progress is creating an active TikTok profile, expanding neighbours on Neighbourly, and optimising Yellow and GrabOne entries to widen reach.

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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/makesha_s_beauty) 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
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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 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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Makesha's Beauty shows a below-average on-page SEO health, with a 3.9/10 overall. The most important findings are that no on-page SEO score is detected and no homepage Title Tag or Meta Description are present, along with no valid favicon and a content count under 1024 characters.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.

How people find you on Google

Makesha's Beauty shows below-average overall health for website traffic, with a 3.7/10 health score. The top findings indicate very low organic and paid traffic values and no organic keywords in the top 100. The business should prioritise content and on-page SEO, local targeting and small paid campaigns to begin building traffic and measurable results.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Makesha's Beauty is open during several high-demand windows but overall timing is poorly matched to local search patterns. Open hours align with Tuesday mid-morning (10-11am) and Thursday mid-afternoon (3-5pm), yet the salon is closed across multiple peak periods, notably Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. No hours are open during low-demand windows, so inefficiency is not the issue - missed peak coverage is.
