Your Google listing

Polished Skin Studio shows a very healthy Google Business Listing with a strong set of basics in place. The overall health is 8.8 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and accuracy. The most notable findings are a claimed listing, a working website link, and a visible phone number, alongside an open-for-business status that informs customers of availability.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

Your reviews

Polished Skin Studio shows a below-average health score of 4.0 out of 10 for Google review performance. Overall health indicates room for improvement, with steady rating momentum and visible engagement. The two strongest findings are a high star rating position and growing review count, while response rate remains at an early stage.

    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.

Lovely person and nice studio but when doing the consultation, I pretty much got told to drink more water and buy the osmosis cleanser. It was expensive and it dried my skin out completely so I can't recommend the product. Nothing wrong wit...

Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. I am sorry to hear that you didn’t like the osmosis cleanser tester that I gave to you complementary with your skin consultation. Let me know if there is anyt...

Where you show up on the map

Polished Skin Studio shows an above-average health of 7.1/10 in Google Maps search, indicating steady visibility with room to improve. The top opportunities focus on moving from a broad aggregate score to stronger local presence, and further strengthening borough performance to reach the top quartile. This should build more reliable requests from Parklands clients.

Where customers find you

Polished Skin Studio shows below-average health for citations and social presence, with a 3.2 out of 10. The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile, supporting credible local engagement. Key room for improvement includes expanding on TikTok and Instagram presence, and ensuring Yellow Directory and LinkedIn listings are more complete to boost visibility.

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/polished-skin-studio-royal-park-drive-christchurch-rwrkG3) 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.

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 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
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 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

Polished Skin Studio shows an average on-page SEO health score with several clear gaps affecting visibility. The most critical findings are missing a homepage Title Tag and Meta Description, plus a non-ideal on-page SEO baseline and favicon absence. Addressing these core elements will improve search visibility and click-through potential for key services.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 3
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.

How people find you on Google

Polished Skin Studio shows a health score of 6.5 out of 10 for website traffic, indicating above-average performance but room for improvement. The strongest positive sign is a solid move in organic SERP count, with room to lift further through backlinks and better site performance. Immediate focus should be paid traffic initiatives showing limited paid activity and room for a small, targeted campaign.

Strengths

    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Polished Skin Studio's opening hours largely match Christchurch demand for beauty services, with all well-aligned peak slots covered and no obvious low-demand hours open. Key weekday peaks in late morning and mid‑afternoon are served, but weekend midday and early afternoon demand is unmet. Adjusting a small number of weekend hours could capture unmet Saturday and Sunday searches without adding inefficient weekday time.
