01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

NS Nails shows a 0.6/10 health level, indicating poor overall completeness of the Google Business Listing, with several high-impact gaps. The listing already has a title, phone number and full address, plus a main image, and is open-for-business. Key opportunities focus on adding a website link, claiming the listing, expanding the description, adding more photos, and uploading a logo.

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

NS Nails shows a low overall health score on Google reviews, at 2.1 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in review engagement and volume. The business already has a strong star rating in the top 10% and is starting to collect more reviews. The main takeaways are to maintain high service quality and begin responding to reviews to build trust.

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 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

NS Nails shows a low overall health on Google Maps at 2.5/10, indicating limited visibility beyond core suburb searches. The strongest top performers include nail salon in waltham (rank 1) and related listings in nearby areas, showing solid local presence but room to broaden reach. The main opportunities lie in boosting aggregate map visibility and improving borough-level rankings.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

NS Nails shows solid engagement in established platforms but low overall health score of 4.7/10, indicating room to improve presence. The strongest current asset is a very high trust Facebook profile, supported by a well-maintained Fresha listing. Key opportunity areas include enhancing TikTok and GrabOne visibility, and improving Yellow Directory and TikTok directory presence to boost 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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/ns-nails-nelson-12-homer-st-bk8raya9) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Your website

NS Nails shows a low overall on-page SEO health score with a 2.1 out of 10, highlighting critical gaps in metadata and technical setup. Key findings include missing meta description and title tag, no valid favicon, and a page size that exceeds 256KB. Addressing these areas should improve click-through potential and loading performance.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

NS Nails' opening hours show partial alignment with Christchurch demand: 25 weekly hours match peak customer searches, notably mid-morning to midday on Tuesday and Wednesday. However 52 peak hours are missed, especially late afternoon Thursday and early afternoon Saturday. No low-demand open hours were found, so inefficiency is limited. Adjusting a few evening or weekend slots could capture more bookings.
