01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Synergy Hair The Palms shows an average overall health score, indicating room for improvement, with solid basics in place. The listing already has a website link, a claimed status, a visible title, a phone number and open-for-business information. The key opportunity lies in adding a logo, while the description and photos show progress toward midpoints and can further boost 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 less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 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.

    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.

    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.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the lady who served me today (22/02) when I came in around 11am. Although the product I was after was out of stock, she didn’t just send me away. She took the time to check availability at other sto...

Had a great haircut today with Kayla! She was friendly and professional. Took the time to listen and suggested a different, better treatment for my hair. 100% recommend Kayla and will definitely go back, thanks so much!

Response from the owner

Thank you Allison for your lovely review! Kayla is a great asset to the team :)

Strengths

Where customers find you

Synergy Hair The Palms shows a very low health score for social presence at 0.5 out of 10. The strongest current asset is a Fresha presence, including a fully updated Fresha profile and a Fresha category page that helps discovery beyond the main listing.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/synergy-hair-the-palms-new-brighton-road-christchurch-loGQNq) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.

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 The Palms shows an average on-page SEO health, with a 5.7 out of 10. The key achievement is fast page load time (under 3 seconds) which supports a better user experience, while major gaps exist in meta data and on-page structure that limit search 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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Synergy Hair The Palms shows very strong temporal alignment with local demand: 64 well-aligned peak hours versus 7 missed high-demand hours and 0 low-demand open hours. Peak Saturdays and late-morning Tuesdays match customer searches closely, while early weekday evenings (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 6-7pm) are missed opportunities. Consider opening later on those evenings or offering a late finish at least one weekday to capture 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.
