01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Yazu Hair Lounge shows a very healthy Google Business Listing, with a score of 8.8 out of 10. The main strengths are that the listing is claimed, open-for-business status is clear, a website link is provided, the listing title is present, and a phone number is listed. The top opportunity notes that the description is already strong, and further optimisation may help keep it competitive in the local area.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps Search performance for Yazu Hair Lounge shows a very high health score of 9.7 out of 10, indicating strong visibility in Google Maps. The top finding is solid aggregate regional visibility and excellent suburb- level presence, with room to push into the top 10% by refining the Google Business listing and updates.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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

The overall health of Yazu Hair Lounge's citations and social presence is below average, with a health score of 3.7 out of 10. The strongest evidence is a very high trust Facebook profile and a well-maintained Fresha listing, while several key platforms are missing or only moderately trusted, limiting discoverability among local customers.

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.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.

Your website

Yazu Hair Lounge shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a score of 9.0 out of 10. The strongest known strengths include a valid favicon, fast page load under 3 seconds, a streamlined page size under 256KB, an H1 tag, and secure HTTPS content. Opportunities focus on tweaking the title tag and meta description, reducing render-blocking resources, and improving the text-to-page size balance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
