01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

MK Home hair shows below average health on Google Business Listing at 2.9/10. The listing is claimed and includes key basics such as a phone number and full address, but lacks a website link and a logo, and the description is minimal. Photos are at or above median. Strengths include verified status and accurate open/closed display; opportunities focus on adding a website, a logo, and refining the description to improve ranking.

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 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.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

MK Home hair shows a below-average health score on Google reviews, at 3.1 out of 10. The business has a strong star rating in the top 10% but has not yet engaged with any reviews. The key findings point to room for building trust through response to reviews while continuing to gather more feedback.

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 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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

MK Home hair shows strong overall health on Google Maps with a 7.6/10 score, indicating solid visibility in maps results. The business already ranks strongly in its borough, sitting in the top 10% for suburb-specific visibility, and holds leading rankings for several high-intent keywords such as barber shop and hair salon in cashmere. A remaining opportunity is improving aggregate map search results.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

MK Home hair's published hours show strong alignment at mid-day on Tuesday and Friday, matching several high-demand search windows. However, the salon is closed across multiple popular Saturday and midweek lunchtime slots, creating notable missed opportunities during peak customer activity. There are no open hours during low-demand periods, so inefficiency from open-but-quiet hours is not evident. Adjusting a few midday slots could increase bookings.
