Your Google listing

Sagan's Makeup & Nails shows a reasonable health score given listing completeness, with room to improve the website link and description depth. The key strengths include a claimed listing, clear phone number, a complete address and an open-for-business status, which helps customers reach and locate the studio.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Sagan's Makeup & Nails shows solid performance on Google Business Reviews, with a health score of 7.2 out of 10. The strongest finding is a stellar star rating in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. The business also sits in the upper median for total reviews and a solid response rate, indicating steady client engagement.

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
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

Sagan's Makeup & Nails shows a low overall health in Google Maps searches, with a 1.9/10 in the health score. The business already ranks for several strong niche terms like nail salon in mount pleasant and eyebrow bar in new brighton, indicating some visibility. However, both the aggregate and borough-specific scores highlight limited exposure and room for local search growth.

Where customers find you

Sagan's Makeup & Nails shows a relatively healthy online presence with strong Facebook activity and solid Fresha listings, but gaps exist on TikTok and LinkedIn. The health score sits at 4.8 out of 10, indicating room for growth while maintaining current strengths.

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/sagans-makeup-nails-pine-avenue-christchurch-JQEbZ3) found via: Google search results.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
