01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Sinai Studio's Google Business Listing shows below‑average health, with a 3.3/10. The listing has a clear title, verified ownership, a displayed open status, a listed phone number and a full address, but it lacks a website link, a meaningful description, and has limited photos. Prioritising a website link and a richer description will help convert customers.

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 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.
  • 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.

Your reviews

Sinai Studio shows a below-average Google Business health score of 3.8/10, indicating room for improvement in online performance. The top finding is a strong star rating, placing Sinai Studio in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. The other key opportunity is to start replying to reviews, which will 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
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 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
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Sinai Studio shows below-average overall health on Google Maps, indicating room to improve visibility beyond Bishopdale.

Key keywords like barber shop in bishopdale and hair salon in bishopdale appear in the top ranks, suggesting targeted gains are possible.

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Sinai Studio shows an above-average health score of 5.8 out of 10, indicating solid online presence with room to grow. The business currently benefits from a very high trust Facebook profile and a well-maintained Fresha listing, which support steady customer reach. Key gaps include missing TikTok, GrabOne, Neighbourly profiles and local directory listings that could attract new 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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/sinai-studio-christchurch-30-normandy-street-maujvt4r) 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
    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
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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 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.
  • ✓
    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

  • 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

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Sinai Studio has no published opening hours, so alignment with Christchurch demand patterns cannot be measured precisely. The health score is very low (0.7/10), indicating a missed visibility opportunity. Without recorded hours, neither strong matches to peak windows nor specific missed high-demand slots can be identified. Adding clear hours will allow identification of when to open or close for better commercial return.
