01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Suburban Beauty has an overall health score of 3.1 out of 10, indicating below average completeness of its Google Business Listing. The most important findings are that the listing is claimed with a valid phone number, complete address and a website link, providing essential customer access, and that the Open-for-Business status is not optimally shown, which may affect customer reassurance.

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
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.

Your reviews

Suburban Beauty shows below-average health on Google reviews, with a 3.3/10 health score. The top finding is a stellar star rating in the top 10%. The business has not yet responded to any reviews, which affects trust and engagement. Encouraging more reviews is underway and should help raise rating confidence over time.

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

Suburban Beauty shows an above-average health score in Google Maps at 5.8 out of 10. This indicates reasonable visibility, with room to climb. The top findings highlight strong performance for core Halswell keywords such as eyebrow bar, beautician, waxing and beauty salon in Halswell, suggesting priority on location and service relevance in the suburb.

Strengths

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.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Suburban Beauty shows a low overall health score for social presence and directories, with meaningful findings in the Facebook profile and a Fresha listing that already ranks for the business name. The page should still strengthen trust signals across profiles and ensure consistent, comprehensive listings to improve visibility and customer reach.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search alone, with no link from your own website and nothing on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

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
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Suburban Beauty shows a strong on-page SEO health with a score of 8.4 out of 10, indicating solid technical optimisation for the homepage. Key strengths include an outstanding on-page SEO score, a valid favicon, no render-blocking resources, a compact page size and no use of frames, all contributing to fast, crawl-friendly performance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than the newest sites here but is still younger than most.

07Google search and trafficMarketbase business report

How people find you on Google

Suburban Beauty shows moderate overall health in Website Traffic with room for improvement. Notable among findings is a lack of measurable paid traffic and spend, suggesting opportunity for a small, targeted campaign. Organic traffic value is above the 25th percentile, reflecting solid SEO fundamentals and ongoing stability.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Suburban Beauty currently has no published opening hours, so alignment with local demand cannot be measured directly. The absence of hours creates missed opportunities during city-level peak search windows and prevents identification of inefficient low-demand openings. Adding clear, regular hours would reveal whether current availability matches high-demand evenings and weekend slots common in Christchurch and allow practical adjustments to capture more bookings.
