How many barbers does Starworks rank in Mackay?
Starworks ranks 26 barbers in Mackay, QLD, holding 1,846 Google reviews between them. Across the 26 the median rating is 4.8 stars from a median of 57 reviews. Of the 26, 20 are rated 4.5 or better and 7 have passed 100 reviews.
What star rating should I expect from a good barber in Mackay?
The median Google rating across the 26 barbers Starworks ranks in Mackay, QLD is 4.8 stars, and 20 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for barbers in Mackay, QLD rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.
How many Google reviews does an established barber in Mackay have?
The median barber Starworks ranks in Mackay, QLD carries 57 Google reviews, and 7 of the 26 barbers have passed 100.
How does Starworks rank barbers in Mackay?
Starworks gives every barber in Mackay, QLD a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.
Why does a barber in Mackay with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?
Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer barber with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Mackay, QLD. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.
Why does the same barber not appear several times on this list?
Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 26 distinct barbers in Mackay, QLD rather than a longer list of repeats.
How often is this list of barbers in Mackay updated?
This ranking of barbers in Mackay, QLD rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.
How can I improve my barber business ranking in Mackay?
Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median barber Starworks ranks in Mackay, QLD carries 57 Google reviews at 4.8 stars.
