01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Synergy Hair Hornby shows a solid overall health score with room to improve brand visuals. The listing already provides a website link, a phone number, a claimed status and clear open-for-business status, which supports easy customer contact. Notable strengths include an established listing and accessible contact info, while opportunities focus on adding a logo and expanding photo content.

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.

I took my daughter for a childs cut. Very overpriced at $70 for what took them 15 minutes at the most. Cut was good but will not be returning.

Response from the owner

Hi Roz, we’re glad you were happy with your daughter’s haircut, though we’re sorry the pricing didn’t meet your expectations. Our children’s cuts reflect the experience and care we provide to ensure a...

Where you show up on the map

The maps performance health for Synergy Hair Hornby sits at 5.6 out of 10, indicating average visibility in Google Maps results. The most actionable findings show strength in ranking for multiple local service keywords such as hair salon and unisex hairdresser in Hornby-Islington, and steady progress in Hei Hei terms.

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

Synergy Hair Hornby shows a health score of 0.7 out of 10, indicating a very low overall presence. Key strengths include a solid Fresha profile and a Fresha directory page that boosts visibility beyond the main listing. Opportunities focus on establishing and improving Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn presence, while Facebook remains strong and credible.

Strengths

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Synergy Hair Hornby shows an average on-page SEO health score of 5.6 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. The page loads quickly (under 3 seconds), supporting a solid user experience. The main findings highlight the absence of a meta description and title tag, and the lack of a favicon, which limit click-through and brand visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 3
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.
