01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Wigram Barbers shows a moderate health score with solid basics in place. The business benefits from a clear phone number, a website link, a claimed listing, and an open-for-business status, which helps customers reach and trust it. The main gaps are the missing logo and room to expand visuals and description.

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
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    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.

Where customers find you

Wigram barbers shows an average health score of 5.7 out of 10, reflecting moderate overall health across social platforms and directories. The most notable finding is a very strong Facebook presence, while opportunities lie in expanding TikTok and LinkedIn activity and improving NoSecretSalon listings.

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 can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/headmaster-barber-the-runway-christchurch-jb157Y) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 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.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Wigram barbers shows a low on-page SEO health, with an overall score of 1.8 out of 10. The site lacks a detected meta description and title tag, and page speed is slow. Key issues include missing favicon and a need to establish baseline on-page structure, tags and content for better search visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

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

Wigram Barbers shows a low overall health for Website Traffic, indicating limited organic and paid visibility. The top findings point to near-zero earned organic traffic value and no organic traffic, with no organic keywords in the top 100. Paid efforts are also absent, suggesting minimal paid traffic and campaigns. Focus on foundational SEO and small paid tests to start building traffic.

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

Wigram Barbers' opening hours largely align with local demand, especially mid-morning to early afternoon peaks. Strong alignment is evident on Tuesdays (11am-12pm) and Saturdays (11am-1pm). However, several weekday afternoons and Sunday mid-afternoon show missed demand while closed. Adjusting a few afternoon hours could capture more walk-up business without adding inefficient low-demand shifts.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
