01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Templeton Barber's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health score of 3.0 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. The listing already has a targeted set of essentials in place, including a visible title, claimed status, open-for-business indicator, a listed phone number, and a full address. Key opportunities focus on adding a website link and a logo, while continuing to enhance the description and photos.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Templeton Barber shows a very strong Google Business health score and solid engagement. The business enjoys an excellent review response rate and a very high overall health score, indicating strong customer relations and favourable perception. The key finding is outstanding engagement, with room to maintain momentum in rating and review counts.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating is higher than most of this market, and it is the first thing a customer reads about you.

Where you show up on the map

Templeton Barber shows a below-average health score for Google Maps search at 3.2/10, indicating limited visibility. The strongest opportunities lie in raising aggregate maps visibility and improving local, borough-level results where the business currently has minimal presence.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Templeton Barber shows a low health score of 1.8/10, indicating weak social and directory presence. The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook page, plus existing listings on Neighbourly, Fresha and Yellow Directory. Main opportunities lie in activating Instagram and TikTok, improving TikTok visibility, and pursuing a GrabOne listing to attract deal-seeking customers.

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.

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.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Templeton Barber's opening hours show reasonable alignment with local demand but leave notable gaps. The shop is open during strong mid-morning and midday demand-especially Tuesday 11am-1pm and Saturday 11am-12pm-yet it closes for popular Saturday and Monday lunchtime hours. There is minimal low-demand waste (Friday 8am). Adjusting a few lunchtime hours could capture extra walk-in trade without large increases in weekly hours.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
