01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

West End Hair Design shows a very low Google Business Health score (1.0/10) but has solid basics in place. The most important findings are that a listing exists with a phone number, a full address, a main image, and an official listing title, yet critical gaps remain in the listing's completeness and verification. Addressing the opportunities will improve customer visibility and trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

West End Hair Design shows very low overall health in Google review performance, with a health score of 1.2 out of 10. The business has a top interpretable strength in star rating, placing it in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is to start replying to reviews to build trust, and continue encouraging more feedback to raise total reviews.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

West End Hair Design shows a below-average health score of 4.0 out of 10 for Google Maps search, indicating limited visibility overall. Top findings point to strong performance for generic hair-related queries in Rangiora (unisex hairdresser in Rangiora South West) and solid presence in the Rangiora area, with scope to broaden borough and city-wide visibility through continued optimisation.

Strengths

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

West End Hair Design shows a very low health score (0.3/10) for social presence and directory activity, indicating limited visibility. The strongest positives are the existing Yellow and Neighbourly directory placements that can support local discovery if kept accurate. The main opportunities lie in activating Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Fresha to broaden reach and engagement with local clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

West End Hair Design has no published opening-hours data, so automated analysis cannot confirm where current hours align with Rangiora demand. No specific strong alignment hours can be identified. The lack of hours also creates missed opportunities: peak local search windows may be unserved or unclear to customers. Publishing accurate hours and testing extended evening or Saturday slots could reveal commercial gains.
