01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Samantha Cat Dane's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health score and several basic details in place. The profile already includes a website link, a listing title, claimed status, open-for-business status and a full address, but gaps exist in contact options, visual content and branding. The top finding is the absence of a phone number, with opportunities also highlighted for adding photos and a logo.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.
  • 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

Samantha Cat Dane shows a very low overall health score on Google Business Reviews, indicating weak customer trust and engagement. The top opportunities point to gathering more reviews, improving the rating, and engaging with customers by responding to feedback to build confidence and credibility.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3

Where you show up on the map

Samantha Cat Dane shows a very low overall health in Google Maps search performance, indicating limited visibility. The most notable finding is a top-5 ranking for the keyword unisex hairdresser in waltham, which suggests some relevance locally. Attention should be given to improving both aggregate and suburb scores to widen reach.

Where customers find you

Samantha Cat Dane shows an average overall health score with room for growth in social and directory presence. The strongest asset is a very high trust Facebook profile, with Fresha and directory visibility already contributing to customer reach. Key priority is expanding to TikTok and improving Yellow Directory profiles to boost discoverability and attract more 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.
  • ✓
    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 could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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 can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/samantha-cat-christchurch-270-saint-asaph-street-cydwijrr) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

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.
  • ✓
    What your page says about youFew intros in this market run as full as yours, and it sits close to the limit that length has stopped being a lever.
  • ✓
    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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.
  • 3
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

Your hours against demand

Samantha Cat Dane's opening hours partially align with Christchurch demand: 20 weekly hours fall during peak search times, notably mid-morning and early afternoon on Thursday and Friday. However, the salon is closed for 51 peak hours, including multiple high-demand Saturday and Tuesday midday slots, reducing commercial reach. No hours appear open during low-demand times, so inefficiency from over-serving off-peak is minimal.
