01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Salva Skin Studio shows a below-average overall health score for its Google listing, indicating significant room for improvement. The listing has solid foundations, including claimed status, a visible listing title, an active website link, a phone number, and a detailed description. The most important opportunities are to update the open-for-business status, add a logo, and expand the photo gallery to move away from the bottom quartile.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 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

Salva Skin Studio shows a below-average overall health score on Google reviews (3.4/10), but there are clear strengths. The top achievement is a star rating in the top 10%, reflecting strong customer satisfaction. The main opportunities focus on increasing total reviews, boosting rating confidence, and improving the review response rate to build trust with customers.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Where you show up on the map

Salva Skin Studio shows very low performance on Google Maps with a health score of 0.1 out of 10, indicating limited visibility across suburbs. The strongest signals come from ranking highly for several hair transplantation and skin care terms in Bryndwr, Christchurch, including dermatologist, hair transplantation clinic and skin care clinic positions. Address accuracy and listing details appear key areas for improvement.

Where customers find you

Salva Skin Studio shows a below-average overall health score with notable strengths in Instagram and Fresha listings. The Instagram presence is very high in trust, indicating a strong audience engagement, while the Fresha profile supports discoverability for services. Key opportunities include expanding TikTok and listing on GrabOne and Fresha to improve reach and trust with potential clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/salva-skin-studio-christchurch-169-wairakei-road-qrttjcks) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Having a Facebook page at allyour Facebook Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it - but nothing you control points at it.
  • 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.

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 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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Salva Skin Studio shows a very low on-page SEO health, with a 0.1/10 score, indicating major gaps in technical optimisation. The two most important findings are the absence of a detectable title tag and meta description, which hinder search visibility and click-through rates, and the lack of a valid favicon that weakens branding in browsers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Salva Skin Studio shows very low website traffic health, with room to improve both organic and paid visibility. The strongest immediate focus should be on organic traffic, where no top-100 keywords are ranking and organic value is near zero. A small, targeted paid campaign could also help establish initial paid presence while content and on-page SEO are built.

Your hours against demand

Salva Skin Studio currently has no published opening hours, so alignment with local demand cannot be confirmed. Because hours are missing, there are no identified strong alignments with peak search times, and any closures during high-demand windows represent missed opportunities. Adding clear, city-aligned opening hours will allow scheduling around peak search periods and reduce wasted time slots.
