01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Makeover Lounge has a solid overall health score for its Google Business Listing, with room to improve brand visibility. The listing shows a valid website link, an Open-for-Business status, a clear listing title, claimed status, and a phone number. Key findings point to adding a logo and expanding photo content, while the description is already strong.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

The Makeover Lounge shows below-average overall health on Google reviews, with a 3.2/10 health score. The strongest current signal is a top-10% star rating, indicating high customer satisfaction. However, no review responses have been made, which risks customer trust and engagement. Encouraging more reviews will help build a fuller picture of performance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.
  • 3
    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 Makeover Lounge shows above-average health in Google Maps search with a 6.9 out of 10. The overall health indicates solid visibility and room to grow across multiple local suburbs. The strongest opportunities lie in strengthening aggregate presence and pushing the Rolleston borough presence toward higher rankings.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

The Makeover Lounge shows solid social presence but an average overall health score, with strong Facebook activity and some directory visibility. The most important finding is the excellent Facebook profile, while opportunities exist in TikTok, GrabOne, Yellow Directory and LinkedIn to broaden reach and trust.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe could not find an active Fresha Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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 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.
  • ✓
    What your page says about youFew intros in this market run as full as yours, and it sits close to the limit that length has stopped being a lever.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The Makeover Lounge's on-page health is 7.0 out of 10, indicating above-average performance with room for targeted improvements. Key strengths include a valid H1 tag and a precise title tag, plus a concise meta description and a page size under 256KB. Remaining gaps involve favicon absence and refinements to meta description length and overall on-page score.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.

How people find you on Google

The Makeover Lounge shows a solid overall health for website traffic, with a score of 6.5 out of 10 and above-average standing among peers. Key findings include established organic momentum and room to grow paid impact, especially through targeted campaigns and clear landing pages. Focused paid tests combined with ongoing SEO refinements should balance growth and cost.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The Makeover Lounge's opening hours show partial alignment with local demand: 40 weekly hours align with peak windows such as Tuesday 11am, Wednesday 3pm, Thursday 4pm and Saturday 1-2pm, but 37 popular hours are missed, notably Saturday 3-4pm, Wednesday 5pm, Monday 2pm and Sunday 1pm. No low-demand open hours were identified, so reducing closures during those missed peak slots offers the best upside.
