01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Nouvelle on Milton shows an above-average health score of 5.8/10, indicating solid listing setup with room to improve. The business benefits from a claimed profile, open-for-business status, a website link, existing listing title, and a listed phone number. Key opportunities focus on adding a logo and increasing photo activity to strengthen local presence.

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
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Nouvelle on Milton shows a low overall health score on Google reviews, indicating room for improvement in engagement and volume. The key findings are progress in rating confidence and star rating, but a zero response rate to reviews persists. Encouraging more reviews and starting to respond will build trust and lift overall performance.

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 you show up on the map

Nouvelle on Milton shows very low overall Google Maps health (1.2/10). This means limited visibility in maps searches and potential missed local inquiries. The strongest top keywords are already ranking in Somerfield and Spreydon, suggesting local demand, but there is considerable room to improve broader maps queries and borough-specific results.

Where customers find you

Nouvelle on Milton shows moderate overall health of 4.3 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in online presence. Key strengths include a strong Facebook presence and a well-maintained Fresha listing that supports current client flow. The most important opportunities lie in expanding Instagram and TikTok activity, plus establishing NoSecretSalon and LinkedIn profiles to build trust and reach new audiences.

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.
  • ✓

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Nouvelle on Milton's opening hours mostly line up with local demand: 47 hours fall in well-aligned peak windows while 24 peak hours are missed. The salon is open during strong weekday lunchtime peaks (notably Tuesday 11am-2pm and Wednesday 12pm) and has no low-demand open hours. Saturday midday and Sunday mid‑afternoon closures are the main missed opportunities to capture more clients.
