Your Google listing

Vicki's Hair Studio shows a below-average overall health on Google Business Listing, with room to improve. The strongest confirmed assets are a claimed listing, open status, a working listing title, a visible phone number and a full address. Key opportunities focus on adding a website link and refining the description to lift overall standing.

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 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.
  • 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.

Your reviews

Vicki's Hair Studio shows a strong customer sentiment with a 4.8/10 health score, reflecting steady but limited Google review performance. The key strength is a top-10% star rating driven by satisfied clients. The business has started collecting reviews and maintains a decent response rate, indicating trust with existing and potential customers.

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
    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

Vicki's Hair Studio shows a solid health score in Google Maps at 7.6 out of 10, indicating strong visibility with room to improve. The top takeaways are strong rankings for hair salon and hair extension technician keywords in Avonhead, and a consistently good suburb performance. Focus should be on sustaining local presence and moving within the top 10% for the borough.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

Vicki's Hair Studio shows low overall health for Citations & Social Presence, indicating limited visibility across social profiles and directories. The strongest current asset is an outstanding Facebook profile and a solid LinkedIn presence, supported by Fresha listings and a Yellow Directory listing. The top opportunities focus on activating Instagram and TikTok profiles, establishing NoSecretSalon and LinkedIn Company Page, and exploring TikTok directory visibility to reach more local clients.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/vickis-hair-studio-avonhead-road-christchurch-bxbq9Q) 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.
  • 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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Vicki's opening hours align with several weekday lunchtime peaks but miss key Saturday mid-day demand. Open hours match strong Tuesday 11-2pm and Wednesday 12pm windows, covering 37 well-aligned peak hours. However, the salon is closed during high-demand Saturday 10am-2pm slots, a notable missed opportunity. No low-demand open hours were identified. Consider adding Saturday mid-day shifts or targeted weekend bookings to capture demand.
