Not quite right? Let's sort it
01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Manila Barbershop shows a below-average health score on Google Business Listing, indicating room for improvement. The listing already lists a clear address and phone, and it is claimed and open status is accurate, which helps trust. The two strongest findings are the claimed status and complete address, while the bottom line is the lack of a website link.

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 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

Manila Barbershop shows a solid overall health score of 7.0 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating above-average performance. The two strongest signals are a solid rating confidence and steady review growth, with customers repeatedly returning and local recommendations. Engagement is growing as more reviews are seen and responses improve.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating sits ahead of half the businesses here, so the number is not pushing anyone away.

Where you show up on the map

Manila Barbershop shows a very high overall health score for Maps search (8.7/10), indicating strong visibility across Google Maps. The top opportunities focus on reinforcing aggregate performance and boosting the borough presence. Notable rankings include multiple near-top positions for local barber keywords in Linwood, Avonside, Dallington, and surrounding areas.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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.

Where customers find you

Manila Barbershop shows an above-average health score of 6.6 out of 10 for social presence, with strong Facebook and Fresha ties but gaps on TikTok and Yellow directories. The most important finding is the very high Facebook profile trust, supporting credibility, while the TikTok profile has a low trust score that needs attention.

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.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • 3
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Manila Barbershop's opening hours match local demand for many peak windows, especially late-morning and early-afternoon slots on Tuesday and Saturday, but there are some missed high-demand evenings and Sunday afternoons. The schedule shows no low-demand open hours, so operational time is used efficiently. Consider modest evening extensions on select days to capture nearby after-work and Sunday afternoon searches without increasing idle time.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.

Where we can help

Nothing to sort here. Your hours already line up with when people are looking.
