01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Nails by Rona shows an above-average overall health score with solid essentials in place, including a live website link, claimed status, a listed phone number and a visible listing title. The key strength lies in clear contact and access to information, with room to improve branding visuals to boost recognition and local appeal.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

Nails by Rona shows an above-average health score of 6.1 out of 10 on Google Business reviews, with a strong star rating in the top 10% and improving engagement. The key takeaway is a solid rating alongside early momentum in review collection and response practices, indicating good customer satisfaction and growing trust among clients.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Where customers find you

Nails by Rona shows a low overall health in citations and social presence with a score of 2.0 out of 10. The most notable findings are a strong Facebook presence and existing Fresha listings, while opportunities lie mainly in expanding Instagram trust, establishing a TikTok profile, and claiming GrabOne and Yellow Directory entries to improve discoverability.

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/nails-by-rona-christchurch-98-osborne-street-fsi5ic14) 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.

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
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Nails by Rona's opening hours show a mixed fit with local demand. All 42 well-aligned peak hours fall inside current hours, notably weekday late-morning and Saturday afternoons, but the salon misses 35 popular hours when closed, mainly on Thursdays. No open hours fall in low-demand periods, indicating reasonable efficiency. Adjusting Thursday hours could capture missed evening and late‑morning demand.
