01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Quakecity Barbershop shows solid overall health on Google Business Listing with a score of 6.9 out of 10. The profile already provides a website link, a clear title, claimed status, a listed phone number and open status, which helps customers connect easily. The main opportunities are to improve the listing description and to grow the photo collection.

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
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 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 categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Your reviews

The Quakecity Barbershop shows an overall health of 3.4 out of 10, indicating below average performance on Google reviews. The strongest signal is the solid star rating and the improving engagement, with progress in response rate and ongoing growth in total reviews. The key opportunity lies in sustaining rating momentum while expanding feedback and maintaining consistent responses to customers.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 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
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Where you show up on the map

The Quakecity Barbershop shows strong health in Google Maps search, with an overall high visibility score and good local presence. The top finding is that multiple key neighbourhood searches rank highly, especially for barbershops in Aranui and surrounding areas, indicating solid demand and consistent visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 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.

Where customers find you

The Quakecity Barbershop has a health score of 4.2 out of 10, indicating below-average presence and growth potential. The strongest current asset is a high-trust Facebook and Instagram profile, with no active TikTok presence noted. Key strengths include a Fresha profile and a Fresha directory entry that support local visibility beyond the primary listing.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/the-quake-city-barber-shop-christchurch-317-pages-road-agve87zx) found via: Google search results.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    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
    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

The Quakecity Barbershop's hours partly match local demand: many of the busiest city search hours occur while it is open, especially late-morning and lunchtime slots on Tuesday and Saturday. However, several Monday and Sunday high-demand windows are missed while closed. No open hours fall in low-demand periods, so inefficiency from over-opening is not evident.
