Your Google listing

Root 57 Hairdressing shows a below-average Google listing health, with room for improvement in the website link, logo and overall photo updates. The listing already has a claimed status, a clear phone number, and a full address, which supports local discovery and easy contact for 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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Root 57 Hairdressing shows below-average overall health on Google reviews, with a 2.9 out of 10. This indicates limited review volume and engagement but potential for improvement. The top findings are: a growing response rate and confidence in ratings, plus improving star rating and total review counts-yet both still sit in lower quartiles. The focus should be on sustaining responses and enhancing customer experience.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.

Where you show up on the map

Root 57 Hairdressing shows a low overall health score in Google Maps search results, at 2.7 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility, but there are signs of progress in the borough where rankings are climbing. The strongest opportunities lie in building a bit more breadth across maps queries and consolidating the salon's presence in Hornby and 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

Root 57 Hairdressing shows a low social presence health score of 1.8 out of 10, indicating limited reach across platforms. The strongest current asset is a highly trusted Facebook profile, with other profiles like Fresha and Yellow Directory contributing visibility. Key opportunity lies in establishing Instagram and TikTok profiles to broaden reach and attract local clients.

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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/root-57-hairdressing-579440866) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/root-57-hairdressing-christchurch-7-witham-street-beq26qpn) 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

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

  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

Your hours against demand

Root 57 Hairdressing's published hours partly match local demand: the salon is open during several strong Saturday and Tuesday peak slots but remains closed during a cluster of Monday mid-day peaks and a popular Sunday afternoon hour. No low-demand open hours were flagged, so current open times are generally efficient but miss clear high-demand windows that could drive extra trade.
