Your Google listing

The Cutting Room's Google Business Listing shows a low health score of 2.0 out of 10, reflecting incomplete optimisation. Strengths include an existing listing title, claimed status, open-for-business indicator, a listed phone number and full address. Immediate opportunities focus on adding a website link, a meaningful description, a logo, and expanding photos to improve visibility for local clients.

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
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

The Cutting Room shows a below-average health score of 3.7 out of 10 on Google reviews, indicating room for improvement in online perception. The most notable findings are steady but limited review volume and engagement, with a solid start in ratings and a mid-to-upper range in total reviews. Continued effort on gathering feedback and responding to customers can improve trust and visibility.

    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.

    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.

Where you show up on the map

The Cutting Room shows a below-average health score for Maps Search at 3.5/10, indicating limited visibility across Google Maps searches. Overall, the business ranks reasonably for key hair and barber terms in Rangiora, with room to improve both city-wide and borough-specific visibility to attract more local clients.

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

The health of The Cutting Room's citations and social presence is 6.8 out of 10, which is above average and indicates a solid baseline but room for targeted improvements. The strongest area is Facebook with a very high trust score, while opportunities exist on TikTok and Neighbourly, Yellow, and NoSecretSalon profiles that could lift local visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/the-cutting-room-579377081) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search alone, with nothing on your own website or your Google listing pointing at it.
  • 2
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
