01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Rachelle Sowman Skin Aesthetician's Google Business Profile shows a very low health score of 1.0 out of 10. The listing has several key elements in place, including a title, website link, phone number, full address and a main image, but critical gaps exist that limit visibility and trust. The two most important findings are the unclaimed listing and the unclear open status.

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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Rachelle Sowman Skin Aesthetician shows overall strong customer sentiment but currently low overall health on Google reviews. The top achievement is a brilliant star rating, placing the business in the top 10% for satisfaction. Key opportunities include improving engagement through responses to reviews and increasing total review count to boost confidence and visibility.

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

The Maps search health for Rachelle Sowman Skin Aesthetician shows an overall score of 4.7 out of 10, indicating moderate visibility and room for growth.

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

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
    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
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 3

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Rachelle Sowman Skin Aesthetician has no recorded opening hours, so temporal alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be mapped precisely. Because hours are missing, peak demand windows at city level are effectively not captured and represent missed opportunities. Adding published hours would reveal where evenings or weekend searches align with services and allow the business to open when customer interest is highest.
