01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Synergy Hair Riccarton's Google Business Listing shows an overall health of six out of ten, meaning above average performance with room to improve. The listing already includes a phone number, a website link, a claimed status, and a clear open/closed indicator. A logo is missing, the description is solid, and photos are at or above the local median, supporting visibility.

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.

Top three opportunities

    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.

This was such an an amazing experience. I walked in and was greeted by a gorgeous hairdresser who had recently moved down from Wellington. Her technique was very professional and mannerism was outstanding. Im so happy with my wash, blowout...

Strengths

Where customers find you

Synergy Hair Riccarton shows a health score of 0.7 out of 10, indicating very low overall presence. The strongest confirmed asset is a Fresha profile, which is current and helps reach local customers who use the platform. Major gaps include inactive Instagram and TikTok accounts, and limited visibility on Fresha and Yellow Directory.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/synergy-hair-riccarton-riccarton-road-christchurch-yXQav0) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓

  • 2

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Synergy Hair Riccarton shows an average on-page SEO health of 5.7 out of 10, suggesting room for meaningful improvements. A key positive finding is a fast page load time under 3 seconds, supporting a good user experience. The most impactful gaps are missing meta description and title tag, absence of a favicon, and a page size over the 256KB threshold that can slow load times.

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.

Your hours against demand

Synergy Hair Riccarton's opening hours largely align with local demand, especially mid-morning and early afternoon on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Most high-demand hours are covered, leaving only a few missed evening and early Sunday slots. No low-demand hours are open, indicating schedules are efficient overall. Consider targeted extended Tuesday/Wednesday evenings or a later Sunday start to capture unmet demand.

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.
