Your Google listing

Philippine Cuts Riccarton shows a strong Google Business Listing health with a score of 8.1 out of 10. The listing already includes a website link, a title, claimed status, a visible open-for-business status, and a phone number, which supports easy customer outreach and trust. The main finding is that the listing description could still improve to reach the local midpoint.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Where you show up on the map

Philippine Cuts Riccarton shows a below-average health score of 3.4/10 for Google Maps search visibility. Overall health remains limited but has steady opportunities. The strongest showing is in the borough-specific results where the listing has risen out of the bottom quartile, suggesting growth potential in the local area. The business also ranks well for several barber-related queries in surrounding suburbs.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Citations and social presence shows a very high health score of 9.5, reflecting strong social profiles and directory listings. The most notable findings are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, both with very high trust scores, indicating robust audience engagement and branding. Opportunities focus on expanding TikTok and Fresha-related presence to broaden reach.

Strengths

  • ✓

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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 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.
  • ✓
    What your page says about youFew intros in this market run as full as yours, and it sits close to the limit that length has stopped being a lever.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Philippine Cuts Riccarton shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a score of 8.6/10. The strongest current strengths are a valid favicon, a compact page size, an H1 tag, HTTPS-only resources, and sufficient text content. The most impactful findings relate to title tag and meta description lengths and site speed, which, if improved, can lift the overall SEO readiness.

Strengths

  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.
  • ✓
    H1 heading tagYour home page opens with a proper heading, so a visitor landing cold and a search engine reading the page are both told what this business is in the first line.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.

How people find you on Google

Website traffic health remains above average with a score of 6.9 out of 10. This indicates solid performance, though there is room for improvement in paid traffic and keyword coverage. The top finding is that organic traffic value is already above the 25th percentile, while paid traffic shows clear gaps that need targeted campaigns and landing pages.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

The shop is closed during several popular windows - Sundays 3pm-5pm and weekday evenings (Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm) - creating clear missed opportunities. No low-demand open hours were identified, so wasted hours appear minimal.
