01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Sunshine Nails shows a very low health score yet some solid basics are in place. The profile already lists a phone number, full address and a main image, with the listing shown as open when needed. The most important finding is that the listing has not been claimed, which limits control and updates.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Sunshine Nails shows a low overall health score for Google reviews, indicating room for improvement in engagement and volume. The most notable finding is the strong star rating, placing Sunshine Nails in the top 10% for ratings. A second key finding is the need to start responding to reviews to 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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Sunshine Nails shows an overall health score of 3.6 out of 10 for Google Maps search, which indicates below average visibility. The business ranks well for several nail salon queries in neighbourhoods such as Mairehau, Edgeware and Shirley, with strongest positions for nail salon in richmond, edgeware and mairehau in Maps. There is room to improve aggregate visibility and strengthen borough presence to reach the local midpoint.

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Sunshine Nails shows a below-average health score of 3.0/10 for social presence, indicating limited visibility across key platforms. The strongest asset is Facebook, with a very high trust profile, while other areas show gaps. A primary finding is the lack of TikTok activity and incomplete presence on Fresha, LinkedIn, and Neighbourly, which constrain reach and credibility.

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/sunshine-nails-beauty-auckland-unit-8-2-henry-tayler-rise-ift7c9qq) 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.

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Sunshine Nails' opening hours show partial alignment with local demand: 42 total weekly open hours match 42 well-aligned peak hours, but 35 high-demand hours remain closed. The salon has no low-demand open hours, so current times are not wasteful, yet several popular midweek and midday slots are missed. Adjusting a few weekday hours could capture more customers during strong search times.
