01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

R.O Hair Design shows very low health on Google Business Listing with 1.4/10. The listing is claimed and open status is displayed, with complete address and a main image. Key issues are missing website, phone, logo, a meaningful description, and photos to improve visibility and credibility for local clients.

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
    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.
  • 2
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

R.O Hair Design shows a low overall health score on Google reviews (1.5/10), indicating room for improvement in engagement and volume. The business also has a strong star rating in the top 10%, reflecting high client satisfaction. A key next step is to increase review activity and start responding to reviews to build trust while continuing to deliver excellent experiences.

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

R.O Hair Design shows a low overall Google Maps health score, indicating limited visibility in maps search. Key positives include strong rankings for hair-related services in Hoon Hay and nearby areas, particularly "hair salon in westmorland" and "hair salon in hoon hay." Opportunities focus on improving aggregate search presence and firming up suburb visibility to reach the local midpoint.

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 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

R.O Hair Design shows an above-average health score with room to strengthen social trust signals. The strongest current asset is a very high trust Facebook presence, complemented by a notable Fresha and Yellow Directory presence. The key opportunity is to improve a TikTok profile's trust and to establish NoSecretSalon and LinkedIn entries, while LinkedIn Company Page creation could enhance professional branding.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search alone, with nothing on your own website or your Google listing pointing at it.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe could not find an active Fresha 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

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

R.O Hair Design's opening hours mostly align with local demand, with strong coverage of peak mid-morning and early afternoon times, especially on Saturday and Tuesday. There are notable gaps on Monday mid-day and Friday late afternoon when local demand is high but the salon is closed. No low-demand open hours were flagged, so current schedule is efficient but could be tweaked to capture missed lunchtime and late-afternoon traffic.
