Your Google listing

Mich Beauty shows a solid overall health on Google Business Listing with a 6.6 out of 10. The business has essential details present, including a claimed listing, a working phone number, a website link, and an open-for-business status. Strengths also include a matching listing title. Key opportunities focus on expanding the description and increasing photo uploads to move toward the local midpoint.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Mich Beauty shows an above-average health score of 6.0 out of 10 for Google Business reviews, indicating a generally solid reputation with room to grow.

Where you show up on the map

Mich Beauty shows a low overall health score for Maps search (2.5/10), indicating limited visibility across Google Maps. The strongest opportunities lie in the aggregate and borough-specific scores: continue building broad map presence and focus on raising the Pegasus borough listing to reach the local midpoint and beyond. Top keywords suggest emphasis on "eyebrow bar" and "beauty salon" in the Waimakariri district coast and Canterbury region.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.
  • 2
    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

Mich Beauty shows a very strong health score with active presence on major social profiles and local directories. The most notable strengths are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, plus a solid Fresha and Yellow Directory listing. Key opportunities include adding a TikTok and LinkedIn presence to reach broader audiences and strengthen professional branding, while Neighbourly and NoSecretSalon profiles remain areas to claim.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/mich-beauty-helicon-street-pegasus-6QAgZ4) 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 can see the Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/mich-beauty-579420711) 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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Mich Beauty shows a below-average on-page SEO health with a score of 2.9 out of 10. The overall health implies serious optimisation work is needed. The top findings highlight missing or weak page structure, including no detected Title Tag and no Meta Description, plus absence of a favicon and a text-to-page size imbalance that can affect crawlability and user perception.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.

How people find you on Google

Mich Beauty shows an average health score for website traffic with room for improvement in paid activity, while organic signals are performing better. The key takeaway is that paid traffic needs a small, targeted campaign and clearer landing pages, whereas organic traffic is above the bottom quartile and can improve with SEO fundamentals and site navigation.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.
