01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

WG brothers barber shows a low health score and needs listing improvements. The business has a claimed listing with open-for-business status, a visible phone number and full address, but no website link, logo or robust description yet. Key strengths include accurate contact details and availability, while opportunities focus on adding a website link, meaningful description, logo, and more photos to lift local 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 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.

I had an amazing experience at this barber. He gave me a fantastic haircut with a perfect fade and also used a blade for extra precision. The attention to detail was impressive, and I could tell he really took his time to make sure everythi...

Where you show up on the map

WG brothers barber shows a below-average health score of 3.8 out of 10 for Google Maps search visibility. The business already ranks well for several local terms such as barber shop in templeton and hornby-islington, indicating strong neighbourhood relevance. The main opportunity is to build both the aggregate maps presence and the borough presence to move toward the local midpoint.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

WG brothers barber shows an above-average health score of 5.8 out of 10, indicating a reasonable online presence with room for growth. The strongest asset is a very high trust Facebook profile, complemented by a well-maintained Fresha presence. Key opportunities lie in expanding into TikTok, optimizing Yellow Directory listings, and creating a NoSecretSalon profile for broader 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.

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 ProfileThe Fresha Profile listing that comes up when someone searches for you belongs to another business, and we could not find one of your own.
