01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Zaks Of Halswell's Google Business Listing shows very low overall health but has several solid basics in place. The most important finding is that the listing is not yet claimed, which limits control and responses to customers. Other key issues include missing website link, a weak description, no logo, and limited 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

Zaks Of Halswell shows an overall health of 4.0 out of 10, indicating below-average Google review performance. The top findings are a lack of owner responses to reviews, and strong rating confidence alongside solid growth in total reviews. Customers visit for friendly service, and ongoing engagement could build trust and drive more reviews.

Strengths

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

Overall health in Google Maps search for Zaks Of Halswell sits at 4.7 out of 10, indicating moderate visibility with room to improve. The strongest signal comes from ranking well for unisex hairdresser in halswell (position 6) and hair salon in halswell (position 8). Focus should be on boosting aggregate and borough scores to move into higher visibility brackets.

Strengths

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

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Zaks Of Halswell shows a below-average health score for citations and social presence, with notable strengths in Facebook and Neighbourly activity but gaps in TikTok, LinkedIn, Yellow, NoSecretSalon, and Instagram trust. The most important findings are the very high Facebook trust and an active GrabOne listing, plus Neighbourly presence. Opportunities focus on boosting Instagram trust, starting TikTok, updating Yellow and NoSecretSalon listings, and adding a LinkedIn owner profile.

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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/zaks-of-halswell-hairdressing-579469882) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/zaks-of-halswell-hamill-road-christchurch-rwrkDE) 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
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 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.

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
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

Your hours against demand

Zaks Of Halswell's opening hours show clear alignment with several high-demand slots, especially late-morning and early-afternoon on Saturday and Tuesday. The salon is open during prime Saturday 11am-1pm and Tuesday 11am-12pm windows, matching strong customer interest. However, notable missed demand occurs around Monday midday and a popular Saturday 2pm and Sunday 3pm slot. No low-demand open hours were flagged.
