01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

My Hair Lounge shows a generally healthy Google Business Listing, with key contact details and an open-for-business status, but health is still very low at 0.7/10. The most impactful findings are missing the listing's website link and claimed status, and a brief business description. These gaps limit visibility and customer trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.

Your reviews

My Hair Lounge shows a low overall health score in Google reviews, with room to improve engagement and rating momentum. Key findings indicate a decent rating trend and initial review collection, but no responses to reviews yet, which can affect trust. Encouraging more feedback while maintaining quality experiences should help strengthen the profile.

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.

Where customers find you

My Hair Lounge shows an above-average health with a score of 6.2 out of 10, indicating solid presence but room to strengthen key channels. The strongest strength is Facebook, with very high trust and ongoing engagement. Neighbourly remains beneficial for local credibility, while the Fresha listing supports broader visibility; remaining platforms need attention to diversify 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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/my-hair-lounge) 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 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.

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
    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
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.
  • 3
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The On-Page SEO health for My Hair Lounge is low, with a 2.0 out of 10. The strongest signal is that key technical checks are missing or weak, notably no detected on-page SEO score, meta description, or title tag. Opportunities focus on establishing a baseline with proper meta data, adding a favicon, and improving page load time to elevate usability and search visibility.

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
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    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.

How people find you on Google

My Hair Lounge shows a low overall health score for website traffic, indicating limited organic and paid visibility. The strongest signal is the need to improve organic traffic value and rankings, as organic traffic and top keywords are near zero in local comparisons.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

My Hair Lounge's opening hours largely match local demand on weekdays and Saturday midday, with no low-demand open hours flagged. Strong alignment is evident during Tuesday 11-12pm and Saturday 11am-1pm when searches peak. However, notable missed opportunity windows occur on Sunday midday and afternoon, plus Saturday 3pm when the salon is closed during higher search activity. Consider limited Sunday or later Saturday openings to capture those customers.
