01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Marki's Barber&Tattoo Studio shows an above-average health score and solid core setup on Google, with claimed status and a live open-for-business display. The business has a listed phone number and a website link, making it easy for customers to connect and learn more. The most important findings are the established listing controls and availability, plus room to 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
    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 listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

The Google Business profile for Marki's Barber&Tattoo Studio shows an above-average health score of 6.4 out of 10, reflecting generally positive public feedback. The business has strong star ratings and a solid base of reviews, but there is no owner response yet to public reviews, which could help build trust with customers.

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.
  • ✓
    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 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

Where customers find you

Marki's Barber&Tattoo Studio shows a very high health score for citations and social presence, indicating strong visibility across key platforms. The most notable findings are outstanding profiles on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, plus a well-presented Fresha listing. Opportunities focus on completing Yellow Directory and NoSecretSalon profiles and adding LinkedIn presence to round out business visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok 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
    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.
  • 2
    Fresha ProfileWe can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/markis-barbershop-cambridge-terrace-christchurch-loGy5Q) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

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.
  • ✓
    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
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Marki's Barber&Tattoo Studio shows an above-average on-page health with a 7.0/10 overall. Current strengths include a valid favicon, fast page load under 3 seconds, compact page size, HTTPS security and a relevant meta description. The biggest gaps are missing an H1, a meta description absence on some pages, and a need to improve the title tag length and address render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 3
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.

How people find you on Google

Marki's Barber&Tattoo Studio shows a solid health score for website traffic with room for growth in paid and organic traffic. The most important findings are that paid traffic is not yet measurable and paid keyword coverage is missing, while organic value is mid-range and organic traffic total sits between the 25th and 50th percentile locally.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 2
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.
  • 3
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Marki's Barber&Tattoo Studio's opening hours are largely well aligned with local demand, with strong coverage of busy late-morning and early afternoon slots, especially on Saturdays and Tuesdays. However, Monday mid-day demand is underserved with several closed peak hours, and Sunday mid-afternoon is also missed. No low-demand hours are currently open, so reducing open time is not a priority.
