01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Wild Hair Design in Rangiora shows a very low overall health for its Google Business Listing (1.3/10). The listing already includes a phone number, full address, a main image and an open/closed status, indicating solid basic setup. Key improvement areas include claiming the listing, adding a website link and a logo, expanding the description, and increasing fresh photos.

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

Wild Hair Design shows a below-average health score of 3.1 out of 10, indicating there is substantial room for improvement in Google reviews. The strongest recent achievement is a top 10% star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. The main opportunity lies in addressing reviews publicly (response rate) and continuing to grow total review counts.

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
    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.
  • 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
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

Wild Hair Design shows a high health score of 8.5 out of 10 for Google Maps search performance, indicating solid visibility in its market. The strongest opportunities lie in continuing to lift aggregate local presence beyond the current level and maintaining momentum to secure top borough standings in Rangiora, Rangiora North West and surrounding suburbs.

Top two opportunities

  • 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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Wild Hair Design shows an above-average health score of 6.4/10, indicating overall stability with room for growth. The strongest existing asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile and active Neighbourly and Fresha presences. A key finding is that TikTok and LinkedIn are underutilised, while Yellow and NoSecretSalon listings could be improved to broaden local reach.

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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/wild-hair-design-579466093) found via: Google search results.

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
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
    LinkedIn CompanyWe could not find an active LinkedIn Company listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Wild Hair Design shows a mixed fit between opening hours and local demand. The salon is open during several high-demand mid-day slots-Wednesday 11-1pm and Saturday 11am-1pm-so those hours match customer traffic. However it is closed during multiple popular weekday lunch times, notably Tuesday 11am-2pm and Monday noon, creating missed bookings. No low-demand open hours were identified.
