01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Synergy Hair Northlands shows a solid overall health score for its Google Business Listing, with a few gaps to address. The listing already provides a website link, a listed phone number, a claimed status, and open-for-business information, which helps convert interest into engagement. A logo is missing and should be added for stronger brand presence.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

Synergy Hair Northlands shows an above-average health score with room to grow its Google reviews and engagement. Key findings include strong review response performance and a solid total review base, with opportunities to further improve star rating and overall review confidence as more feedback accumulates.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 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
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.

Where you show up on the map

Synergy Hair Northlands shows average health in Google Maps search results, with a 5.2 out of 10. This indicates moderate visibility and room to improve. The strongest opportunities lie in raising overall aggregate visibility and maintaining momentum within the Northcote borough to push into top local results.

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 Northlands shows a very low health score, reflecting limited presence on key platforms. The strongest current asset is a fully updated Fresha profile, which supports local discovery and service details. Critical gaps exist on Instagram and TikTok, and Neighbourly profiles are missing or weak, limiting reach with local customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/synergy-hair-northlands-main-north-road-papanui-kq2Qrz) found via: Google search results.

Your website

Synergy Hair Northlands shows an average on-page SEO health score of 5.7 out of 10. The site is currently strong on load speed, with a sub-3 second page load, but critical gaps exist in meta and structural elements that limit search visibility. Addressing these foundational issues will help search rankings and click-throughs over time.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Links to your siteMore sites link to you than almost any business in this market, a position built over years and genuinely hard for a competitor to match.

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.

How people find you on Google

Synergy Hair Northlands shows very strong website traffic health, with a 9.8/10 health score. The business has excellent organic performance, especially in local traffic, and solid top-10% ranking for local keywords. The main takeaway is the high organic value and visibility; paid activity is currently underdeveloped and worth a cautious, targeted test.

Strengths

  • ✓
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth more than almost any business in this market - an enquiry stream with no cost per click behind it.
  • ✓
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws more visitors from search than almost any business in this market - a stream of enquiries arriving at no cost per visit.
  • ✓
    Search terms you rank forYour site appears for more search terms than almost any business in this market, so there are more ways to find you than to find anyone else here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Synergy Hair Northlands' opening hours closely match local customer patterns, with 66 well-aligned peak hours and no low-demand open hours. The salon is open during Saturday 11am-1pm and Tuesday 11am-12pm, capturing the busiest lunchtime windows. Missed opportunities occur in weekday evenings and an early Sunday slot; selective evening openings could attract additional clients without large increases in weekly hours.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
