Your Google listing

Stop Hair Design shows a below-average health of 3.4/10 for Google Business Listing, indicating room for improvement. Key strengths include a claimed listing, an active phone number, a complete address, and open-for-business status, which help customers reach and locate the salon easily. The listing also has a clear title and verified ownership.

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

Stop Hair Design shows a below-average health score but has some momentum in reviews. Overall, health is 3.3 out of 10, indicating room for improvement, with progress in response rate, rating confidence, star rating, and total reviews. The strongest current signal is steady engagement and ongoing rating improvement among local clients.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.

Very friendly well priced snip. Katherine (hopefully spelt correctly) was one of the nicest stylists I've had in a long time. Will be back.

Where you show up on the map

Stop Hair Design shows a high overall health score for Google Maps search visibility, with room to climb. It performs well in the suburb/borough, placing in the top quartile, and there is a clear path to reach the top 10% by refining the Google Business Listing presence and consistency.

Strengths

Where customers find you

Stop Hair Design shows a low health score for social presence, with limited active profiles. The most impactful findings are a very strong Facebook profile and existing local directory placements on Neighbourly, Fresha and Yellow Directory. Opportunities focus on creating or updating Instagram and TikTok profiles to boost visibility and engagement among local 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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/stop-hair-design-579447845) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    White Pages ListingWe can see your White Pages Listing listing (https://whitepages.co.nz/stop-hair-burwood) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe could not find an active Fresha Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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 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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

Your website

Stop Hair Design shows an average overall health for on-page SEO, with several critical gaps that hinder visibility. Key findings indicate missing meta description, missing title tag, and lack of a valid favicon, plus a slower-than-desired load time that may raise bounce risk.

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
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    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.

How people find you on Google

Stop Hair Design shows a moderate overall health for website traffic, with room for improvement in organic and paid activity. The strongest findings are very low organic traffic value and zero top-100 organic keywords, suggesting content and SEO work is needed, alongside starting a small, targeted paid effort to gauge returns.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Stop Hair Design's opening hours partially match local demand: all 36 well-aligned peak hours fall on strong Saturday and Tuesday mid-day slots, while 35 high-demand hours are missed, mostly on Monday mid-day and a Sunday afternoon. There are no low-demand open hours, so current schedule avoids obvious waste but misses notable lunchtime demand on Monday and a Sunday afternoon slot.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
