01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Sherbet Hair Salon shows a solid basic presence on Google Business with a health score of 4.6 out of 10. This indicates room for improvement, but current basics like a listed phone number and claimed status support reachable customers. The two most important findings are the lack of a meaningful business description and the absence of a logo, which impacts trust and discoverability.

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
    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.
  • 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
    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.

Where customers find you

Sherbet Hair Salon shows an above-average health score with room for improvement in social profiles. The most impactful finding is the high trust on Facebook, complemented by a strong GrabOne listing, while TikTok has low trust and requires alignment with business details. Instagram is strong and Neighbourly and Yellow directories offer potential growth.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/sherbet-hair-salon-winston-avenue-christchurch-JQEz7B) found via: Google search results.

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.

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.
  • ✓
    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
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 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.
